laundry day

Can you tell?

Making my day

Things that make my day (in no particular order):

1. Blake taking 2 naps in the afternoon, both longer than 20 minutes (hate those faux naps!)

2. When the laundromat isn't busy and I don't have to try to worm my way through a sea of carts and people

3. Pharmacists who are nice (boo on you Rite Aid)

4. Getting an email saying my order has been shipped! (Hello new clothes that probably won't fit me now but that are my motivation to get in shape!)

5. Blake looking over Evan's shoulder to find where I am in the room

6. Evan getting home before 7

7. Laundry for the week being done before Tuesday

8. Finding this website: wordle.net and creating something to frame and put in Blake's room

9. Getting a shower before noon

10. Switching out my summer clothes for my winter clothes

Things that might break my day:

1. Finding out those winter clothes don't fit me anymore

2. Being told I need a root canal...a very expensive root canal

A Laundry Story

On a crisp, autumn night 2 piles of laundry sat on the floor of a brownstone in Brooklyn. They certainly weren't going to clean themselves, so they were gathered into a bag and taken to a nearby laundromat. They were rinsed, sudsed, rinsed again, spun, and tumbled until they were dry and ready for folding. The events that transpired when the clothes arrived back at the brownstone are in fact true:

"Blake, do you want to h..."

"Hang on, Mom. I'm watching Wipeout."

"Will you help me fold the laundry while you watch?"

"I'd love to!"

"Ok. Here's your pile."

"Oooo they're still warm!"

"Hey! Here's my sock! I'll just hang on to it while I look for the other one..."

"Hey! My moon!"

"Now where did I put that sock?"

"Here it is!"

"All done, Mom!"

"Thanks, Blakey! Are you ready to go to bed?"

 "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
