LaLaGirl – Twinfinite Chaos! Parenting Multiples and Dealing with Autism

Today, my wonderful hubby took my vehicle to work so he could take it for some routine maintenance. It’s hard to get that sort of thing done when you have little kids tagging along, so he’s just being kind and doing me a giant favor. Also, I think he likes knowing exactly what’s done with our vehicles – just a guy thing, right? Anyway. Yay for my hubby!

And, I’m having lunch with my sister. Yippee! Have I mentioned in the past five minutes how grateful I am that my sister is such a huge part of my life? We have the best sisterfriend relationship. She’s my best friend, and I’m soooooo happy she’s right down the street instead of two states away.

I thought to myself, surely I have a picture of my two favorite people together, just sitting in my Flickr account. Well, I did, but it’s from Halloween. Ha! I know I have better pictures of Kim and Paul together, but this one cracked me up!

Love them.

I hate to talk bad about my washer – especially in case I’m tempting fate by doing so – but man is it pissing me off! With four little kids, I find that I’m FREQUENTLY washing bedding, and almost every time I do, I have to run an extra rinse cycle to get rid of all the soap, and an extra spin cycle, too. If I don’t do that extra spin, my kids’ comforters come out weighing thirty pounds because they’re still full of water.

Besides all of THAT, I find that my washer smells like ass a good portion of the time. I regularly clean out the filter assembly, but I’ve recently found out that front loading washers typically smell like mildew. There are a billion sites online where people are bitching about this very thing – I’m surprised nobody’s come out with some special laundry additive for front loaders that takes away the ass smell. I always leave the door open when the washer isn’t in use – but it’s still stinky.

Now you understand my addiction to Gain Apple Mango Tango detergent. I need something intoxicatingly fruity to comfort my offended nose!
