Living in the Laundry Room

I am usually pretty good about laundry.  In fact, it is "my" thing in the house.  Do not mess with Mom and her laundry.  I typically do 3 loads on the weekend (hopefully washing, drying and folding all in one day) and 1 load mid-week.  If Jaeden doesn't have any accidents, then maybe I can skip that mid-week load :)

Not this week.  It all started last Saturday.  Poor Mya, still getting over a "really icky" ear infection, puked in the car on the way home from my parent's house.  A late night just got later.  After getting home, her jacket, Jon's jacket and her blanket now needed to be washed.  Her car seat had to be removed, disassembled, laundered, dried and (eventually) put back together.  Oy vey.  That was like 3 loads right there.

Then, I did my normal mid-week load (Tuesday or Wednesday), even though Jaeden was accident-free.  Until Thursday.  Daycare sent home the dreaded "wet bag" (bag of wet clothes).  OK, time for another load!

Friday, I began to do my normal weekend laundry (usually just Jon's and my clothes).  I thought I was ahead of the game until Jaeden peed in her car seat on the way home from lunch Saturday.  Yikes.  It was a repeat of remove, disassemble and reassemble of the car seat (only this time it was the other kid's).  Not only did I feel like I was living in the laundry room, I became an expert at the removal disassembly and reassembly of car seats.

I thought I was all done.  Until 2 hours later, when Jaeden woke up from her nap wet.  Seriously?  OK, I pulled off the "training pad" to wash it, only to realize she had been wrapped in her top sheet funny, so that was wet too.  So, not only did I have to wash the pad, I had to wash the (brand new) spare sheet set so that I can take off her sheets and wash them too (there is no way I am going to be able to wash, dry and replace the sheets before the next time she needs to sleep - I am just too tired).  So here we are...  I am just waiting for the next time I need to wash something :-)  P.S. I can't wait to see our water bill this quarter.

On to the obligatory this week's menu!
Today: Spiral sliced ham.  I have no idea why I have been craving this, but I am           sure the girls will love it too!
Monday:  Way too busy for dinner.  We will have a freezer meal (Macaroni Grill           Basil Chicken Pasta something).
Tuesday: Tacos
Wednesday: Leftovers (there is probably going to be a TON of ham left)
Thursday: Spinach Lasagna Roll Ups (made and frozen previously - heat and eat!)
Friday: Dinner out with the Millers
Saturday: Pizza? Burgers?  TBD.

Here's to no more laundry, at least of a couple of days!  Have a great week!

P.P.S.  Oh yeah, I washed the sheets from Jon's and my bed, too.
