I thought I'd throw in one more quick load of laundry tonight to wash while I folded the stuff that was already done…
I opened the washer to discover I'd turned Meg's brand new (as in, not a hand-me-down from Emma, only been worn once) beautiful white sweater a dingy blue (must have fallen in from my "wash separately" pile into the darks) and then found Nate's new dress pants (probably the culprit of the blue sweater) covered in gum (the only pants I didn't check the pockets of.)
I should have quit while I was ahead.
I am smiling, however, thinking about Carter today, singing "I've been working on the railroad" – he thinks that the part about Dinah says "China won't you blow, China won't you blow, China won't you blow your horn!" It is his favorite part of the song – the part he knows really well 🙂 – and he belts it out. It is awesome.
Now, after googling "RIT dye remover" and "how to get gum out of suit pants" I am abandoning my wet laundry and going to bed. I'll fix it all tomorrow.
PS – I spent a good 2 minutes trying to figure out which wall in my house had such dirty walls in this picture – thank goodness I finally recognized the bikes in the background and figured out this was in the garage.
