It’s a busy day. We have basketball practice times 2, we have at least two children finishing antibiotics for ear infections, we have Pinewood Derby, we have chores.

So while my wife is braving Wally World, I start on housework.

Put in a load of wash, sort mountains of laundry (daddy sort, “red” “white-ish” and “everything else.”

load and start dishwasher.

pick up toys.

washer is done – go to put load in dryer.

Why is everything so wet still?

start spin cycle, again. Nothing spins.

Grrr, the thing has given up. Hope I have some room on the credit card….

Now, I’m off to put the baby down for a nap so I can graphite derby car wheels…
