Another Love (for the moment)


If any of you were to come to my house at any given moment you would surely find clean laundry piled on my bed which was moved to the floor at bed time. I never liked laundry. You would also find dirty laundry piling up in my closest. Thinking back I have never had a laundry room just a samll space barely big enough for a washer and dryer. So when building this house I had outlets put in the garage for a washer and dryer since my Frank's clothes are always so full of red dust, cement, and morter. The idea was to get a new washer and dryer for the nice laundry room with a hanging rod and a folding table. Close to two years later I realized the new washer and dryer was clearly a dream and encouraged Frank (against his will) to move the old machines inside. What an amazing thing to have a laundry room. I have not had a pile of clothes on my floor and the laundry baskets are no longer overflowing. I never imagined how nice it was to put the laundry away directly out of the dryer. Even Makaela's laundry she has been folding hers for years. No longer. I feel like a new person like the housewife I am suppose to be. Now I just have to focus on the rest of my house and I think the next time we build the laundry room just might be the biggest room in the house.

oh, I am so excited for you!! There really is nothing like the laundry being completly taken care of! Mine sits in the basket for days and then when I finally get to it, it feels great! I know what you mean about a new washer and dryer! Maybe one of these days you will have one to go with your deep fryer ha ha!!

Yay for laundry rooms! I think the name of my BIL's company is G. anderson plumbing or something like that. Greg anderson is the owner. I hope that helps, sorry it took me like forever.

Funny you see my dad so much, I never see him, he is so great.

is there a tv in your laundry room cause that's the only way I can fold laundry!!! I am impressed as I sit here avoiding my 3 loads of laundry that need to be folded!

Good job Marla! Your a better house wife than me. Our laundry "room" is inside and I still let my clothes pile up. Josh and i worked out a bargain and he washes them all and i fold them. It seems to be working ok for now!

Oh my gosh, your old laundry issues are currently how the laundry goes at my house. Straight to the bed then the floor for at least a week. Of course that makes the ironing pile triple what it should be....ah! Glad you have found a way out of all that!
