Happy Mother's Day!
Well, Mother's day didn't exactly turn out like I had hoped. I invisioned myself tucked away in my scrapbooking room working on some pages of my babies that are long over due to be finished up, while Dan puttered in the garden and all was well. But..instead I spent the morning at a local laundromat washing sopping wet clothes from a water heater leak! Let me just say, there are some pretty interesting characters at a laundromat on Mother's Day! Not having used a facility such as this for almost two decades, I'm sure that everyone in the place could smell the newbie! There were machines that could honestly hold up to 40lbs of clothes! Who brings 40 pounds of laundry? One character that stood out from the rest was a big guy who took great pride in folding his over sized undershorts! I do believe I am emotionaly scared for life! Then there were the "laundry pros" who swept in, put their clothes in machines, ran out the door, only to return precisely when the wash cycle ended and repeated the process for the drying cycle. There was also a pacer, who mades so many laps around the place I truly began thinking he was training for a marathon! As for me, I cowered in the corner and as soon as the wash cycle was finished I put my wet clothes in a basket and ran to my car and headed home to dry them, 40 minutes in that place was enough for me! What an interesting Mother's Day!!
