And that, for my birthday, Alan took loads and loads of sopping wet clothes to the laundry-mat to dry them?
And did you know that we haven't done laundry since then??
Yes, we have an obscene amount of clothing in our home, and yes, 98% of it is dirty. Well...95%, now because....
IT'S ALIVE!!!
The new washer and dryer arrived in late January and Alan has been slaving away at getting everything hooked up. This means that he has done major plumbing, carved various holes in the walls of our bathroom (yes, I'm Ok with that), installed a vent, run a new electrical line up from the basement, and attached a stacking kit. Oh yeah, and actually moved the things into place (with some lifting assistance from Gumpy).We're talking serious handyman work and I am so very proud and thankful for my dear, sweet, wonderful, talented, strong hubby. He is very tired.
And now there is some serious washing being done. It's a little daunting, sitting on the john and seeing this giant tower of appliances looming in front of you....but the whole family is sooooo in love with the pretty digital read-outs, lift-off-seems-imminent-spin-cycle, and the lilting chimes of the "wash complete" song....
This just in from Jeremy: "Mommy, the dryer is done!"
Sweeter words have never been uttered!!! OK, so I exaggerate...but only a little.
ha! i love the one of all of you gathered around to watch. laundry is so exciting! nothing like NOT having working laundry equipment for a while to make you really crave doing laundry, though, right? this just happened to us this winter too.
