Amazing how much bigger the laundry room is with a new dryer in there, set back against the wall where it rightly goes. As of today. (Thank you Rachel!) It doesn’t need to be pulled two feet forward to work–and it doesn’t burn the clothes. (Yes, we cleaned the old one’s hose out and cut it down by half; it still did that.)
Amazing how nice it is to be able to know one can now do the mercifully ordinary task of loading clothes or sheets into the dryer and they won’t come back out with little permanent burn marks.
I told Richard a year ago that if he put the exercise bike away in an unused kid’s room, I would never use it–so he assembled it right there in the dining area of the kitchen. Not exactly lovely, but effective product placement, definitely. I got in the habit. I do use it.
Amazing how much bigger that room is now with it out of there. As of today.
Amazing how much bigger Richard-the-younger‘s room is with it moved in there but lots of other stuff cleaned out. As of today.
Amazing how good those cookies Michelle baked for Nina came out, dairy-free and all. Yup, she made them today. Two types, filled, one, her first try at piping, and she did a superb job of it.
Amazing that they found the fake tree in the garage and actually got it set up. As of today. (No, it isn’t the same. On the other hand, the allergies found themselves not on the list of invitees and stayed away.)
Amazing how much we got done today–and two Christmas parties on top of that.
But before we left for those, my kids saw me starting to push the bike out of the kitchen area and were appalled: Mom! You can’t do that, let US do that! But…but… Together, with much effort, they carried the thing down the hall and maneuvered it into their big brother’s old room.
Their dad came around the corner just then and told them, You DO know that thing’s on wheels, don’t you?
Now. Pardon me while I go fall over. In my nice, embiggened, cleaner house. The kids? They’re at more Christmas parties, visiting with their friends while they’re in town, too.
Amazing that they grew up already and we didn’t even need to drive them there!
