Having kids is a life changing experience. Losing someone you love is a deep changing and reconsidering priorities experience. I can name a few more but I won’t cause the real beauty is when you have this OMG changing moments in smaller every day things. Like when I bought my first Samsonite case with 360 degrees rolling wheels and travelling was never the same again. Or when I got my first iphone. And the list goes on.
So today I had one of these and it made my day, really! The day was quite impossible because of a number of wrong decisions we took. The result was not only one but two crying kids (yes, also mr. Happy) for the most part. Martijn and I were supporting each other (when one flips the other ones stays strong), but it was clear that the moment they would sleep we would start crying almost. And on top of everything Ihad to take care of the laundry, because mr. Happy produces a lot of smelly dirty stuff that sometimes find their way out of his diaper. Sigh. Anyway, I carry the 100kg box of clothes on my shoulder (given the opportunity we would wash another ton of clothes of his sister and some of ours) and walk to the laundry room. There is a dryer too. I love it already.
1,5 hr later I collected all the clothes, including hundreds of little socks and little of everything, all clean and all dry. And all warm, you want to put them on right away. And colors shining. This is not happening. DRYER it is. My life will change for ever. No more frustrations above the laundry line, no more washing, no more hanging smart so all 1000 little stuff fit, no more waiting for clothes to dry and spend your evenings doing this.
What? Not environmentally friendly? Sorry planet, I need my sanity back. What? It destroys the clothes? Who f*cking cares. What again? They become small? Well, this I still need to check.
