not funny.

I feel like my house is toying with me.

I have NO spray cleaner left, and need to make some.
I have NO laundry soap left, and need to make some.
I have NO window cleaner left, and need to make some.
We are down to ONE meal in the freezer, and I need to make some.

Our washing machine has been on the fritz for what seems like forever.
It was fixed at one point, we moved, it worked for a few weeks and started acting funny again.
Today, we found the culprit.
A leotard had worked it's way up underneath the basin of the machine, had wrapped itself around the spinning mechanism thingy (I don't know, it's one of those 'he', large capacity, energy efficient machine's so it's got all kinds of different parts)
and was making the computer on the machine go NUTS.
Which was making US go NUTS.

sidenote: we can.NOT. figure out how it got underneath there, so we are lead to believe that it truly is just our house toying with us.

So, I may be out of everything but still, today, because of Jake, I win.

So THERE, house!
Take that!

I haven't done 6 loads of laundry in one day in a long time, and it feels good.

until I look at the pile of clothes to be folded and then I feel like I didn't win after all, I'm still being toyed with.

My washer and dryer is free, and there is a big screen tv to watch while you fold clothes, and toys for your kiddos to play with. Feel free to borrow it. :o)! Love from OH.
