Laundry!


Yes, yes , laundry!

It never ends.. just when you think you've done it all, someone pees the bed or you realize when going through your daughters drawers that half the clothes in there have been put away dirty...

Hmmm my mom used to talk about laundry, how she had garbage bags full and had to take us and the laundry on subways and crap to get to the laundry mat..later on we had our own wringer washing machine. I also remember my mom getting her fingers caught in the rollers and getting an electric shock when i tried with wet fingers to unplug the machine.Yikes.
Ive been to Mexico and washed cloth diapers on a stone for 5 months, at least that felt like an accomplishment, better than throwing 1.50$ into the washer and dryer we have here in graduate housing..blargh
..oh all the times you get your laundry to realize it hasn't spun, or the dryer starts to smoke...
But there are nice times too, like when it's a really cold day and your mom throws your clothes in the dryer for a sec to heat them up for you...ah yah...
