232: laundry for the summer

It's similar to having a dishwasher for the summer. It is so convenient to have it right between the bedrooms. It makes me feel so productive to be able to NOT have loads and loads worth of laundry building up because I either can't find an empty washer or I just can't get my ish together enough to get the girls and the laundry out the door and to the laundry rooms. It's so so so nice to be able to throw a load in (without having to load the girls up, too), keep doing whatever we were doing, toss it in the dryer when it's done, and then throw it on the bed and fold it while the girls play. Sure, it's not SO inconvenient to walk the 100 feet to the laundry room to do a load in Eugene, but it does get tough when I'm trying to do it in the rain with two small girls who don't want to stop playing. And that apartment is so dang small that a couple of loads worth of laundry actually take up a good amount of space.

I'm loving having a washer and dryer right here in our apartment for the summer. But it's also like a dishwasher in that it's going to be hard to go back to not having one after being spoiled. I'm enjoying it while I have it!
