Random laundry thoughts

Well, it seems that most of the time when you catch me, I'm doing laundry. I've come to call laundry days Mt. Kill-em-with-laundry! It never ends! And just when I get SO bored doing the same old thing, God throws a little excitement in! On this laundry day on about the third or fourth load, I got the water going, tossed in the towels and sudzie water started getting my feet wet! Thankfully I thought to stop the water, but it kept coming! The hose that drains the washer had disconnected! What do you do with that! Call SweetHeart of course! (That is another perk that he is close.) However, his less than enthusiastic "But I would have to change clothes" reply motivated me to just do it myself. So I did. I got the pliers and secured the hose back on the washer. That is so empowering! And amazingly it worked! No more flooded laundry room!

Then, I don't know how it is at your house, but when folding socks, I inevitably end up with an odd sock. I have accused my children of just tossing their socks any ol' place instead of getting them in the dirty clothes basket. But I finally have proof that the dryer really does eat them!

Yep, that is a couple of socks hanging out of the tumbler! (The next laundry day that piece fell off. It is amazing the difference it makes! The dryer is quieter now, but the clothes are in a ball and the inside is still wet. Who knew it took three!)

SweetDoll was given a cute little cheer outfit for our new hometown. I read the label before washing it and this was part of the directions on the little bloomers:

Use large water level.

DO NOT: wash with any other garment, wash more than one garment at a time, wash by hand or in a small volume of water, leave in washer for any length of time, dry clean, hang, lay out to dry, bleach or iron.

Seriously! Do not wash with any other garment! (It must be in kindergarten and got a report "does not play well with others!") I have Mt. Kill-em-with-laundry! There is no way I'm washing one little pair of bloomers by itself in a large water level! I washed it with the same colors and who knows how long it stayed in the washer, and I'm happy to report it did just fine!

Wishing you a little excitement in your mundane too!
