I don't like the saying everything comes in groups of three. I'm dreading what will come next. It always involves money. Friday the first event happened - carpet cleaning. Little One got a hold of a glass of koolaid and made a huge spill on the carpet and the clothes he was wearing. I scrubbed the floor for a while then gave up. The carpet was already a huge mess because of all the other times he has spilled Kool-aid or milk or who knows what else. I managed to find a cleaner that came Friday evening. The carpet looked so wonderful when they left. This morning, the spots were still there. Guess I'm going to have to call them back.
The second thing happened today. I was doing laundry. I had just moved the load from the washer to the dryer and started the second load in the washer. While I was upstairs, the washer started the off-balance dance, except that it was much louder than normal. The longer I took to get downstairs, the more knocking and dancing I heard. It was getting really loud. When I got to the laundry room, the machine had danced all the way out into the center of the room. It was very obvious as I opened the lid and it was still spinning as to what the problem was - the basket had come loose. It was rocking back and forth, way out of control. I did the oh no! pose (hands on cheeks) and fell to my elbows in disappointment. Why this, why now?
So I have a load of half washed and soaking wet clothes in the washer. I'm going to have to take them to the laundromat to wash them. The worst part is it is now 11:00 pm and we don't have bedding on our bed. That's what is in the washer! We are going to have to sleep on the mattress pad under only the comforter. It's going to be a very cold night.
