Anyway - since beginning my new life as a domestic diva I've been getting up at 5:30 AM each work day with my husband. OK - he gets up earlier than that and sets the alarm for me for 5:30 when he's in the shower.
I get to do all sorts of domestic diva sorta things... like make coffee, feed the dogs, prepare our breakfast. He's usually out the door at 6:15 AM and I've managed to not go back to bed... which is what I'd really like to do. But since I'm unemployed right now due to the move (and wouldn't mind staying that way) I figure I can make this domestic diva thing work.
Anyway - today after having breakfast with hubby and sending him off to work I went about the business of the day. Unstack/stack dishwasher, run vacuum, gather and sort laundry. I started the washer for the first of 3 loads I needed to do. Then I puttered around the kitchen. I needed to peel potatoes to make cornbeef stew later. I cubed those and left them soaking in water. I had to put the gate back in place in the kitchen doorway - silly dogs seem to object to having it there and keep taking it out of place. While doing that I heard the washer stop. So when I finished up I walked over, flipped up the lid...
nothing... NOTHING? Huh?
I did what any reasonable person would do...
I closed and then opened the lid to the washer again...
Still NOTHING! (now I'm hearing the Twilight Zone tune in my head)
I open and look into the dryer... did I already put them in there and forget to turn them on? Nope... Nothing, Nada thing in there either.
At this point I'm more than a little confused - I know I started the machine, I remember measuring and pouring the liquid soap in... remember listening to it run through the cycles...
So I look over at the baskets on the floor...
3 full baskets of laundry!Mystery solved... laundry found! I ran the washer with water and soap only.
All this before 8:14 AM. At which point I poured myself a much needed 2nd cup of coffee.
