Ridiculous?
Not really.
Here's my joy for the week:
A washing machine. Am I serious?
Yeah, you betcha!
Last week, my washer started leaking. It was just a little leak.
I managed to do one load a day, just making sure there were plenty of towels along the bottom to absorb any yucky water coming out.
Let me remind you: I have four children. Four dirty, messy, stain-creating, wonderful children.
Let's add to that: I have a husband. A fabulous, hard-working husband.
We also have family coming in next weekend, so all the towels and linens have to be freshly washed.
One load a day just wasn't cutting it.
Note: I didn't add myself to the dirty, messy roll call. I'm practically perfect in every way. Hardworking? Yes. Stinky? Never! Hee, hee!
Anyhoo, we had a family friend come and look at it, remove the offensive, broken part, and then instructed us what to buy. Hubby bought it, came home and replaced it!
Hand the boy a trophy!! (Other than his trophy wife, of course.)
And so, if you'll excuse me, I have a mountain of laundry calling my name. Hear it? I'm off to do laundry. Joyfully. Who knew that could happen?
fantabulous! Know just what you mean. I'm pretty sure that a) my poor old washer is on her last peg-legs and b) I can't afford a new one right now and it's great when my hubs patches her up again!
ReplyDeleteThat's GREAT! I was waiting to read that you were going to have to shell out a bundle to replace it... but to find the broken part, fix it yourself... Praise GOD!
ReplyDeleteI'm going up to do a load of laundry too... and I'm gonna praise God for his abundance.
YIPPEE!
There is nothing like not having an appliance for awhile to make you love doing laundry. At least for a little while, anyway. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are blessed to have a handy husband. I'm going to go kiss my washer right now because I know I take her for granted.

Yes, a working washing machine is joyful! Ours went bad two years ago. I ended up getting new front loaders. Yes, expensive but I decided it was worth it for all of the laundry we do. ANd since they were so expensive, I forfited my christmas present. Well, worth it though!

I have found myself complaining about laundry until my machine broke down...then I was so thankful to have it back! A working washing machine is definitely something to be joyful about.
ReplyDeleteooooooh, I totally totally get it!!!
ReplyDeleteAmen sista!! I am thankful for you ;)
