So the Lundgreen family has arrived. I enjoy reading and watching so many friends and family blogs, I finally decided to start ours. I thought that because we still live by family that I wouldn't need to do a blog, but so many of our friends have moved away, that I thought we were justified.
There are many times in my seemingly endless day of diapers, bottles and laundry that I find a piece of humor or frustration that I want to share...
For example, today we had to do a load of laundry (Monday's not the usually laundry day) because Emery was sick with the flu all weekend. Thankfully, Kevin didn't have to go to school too early this morning, so he took the load down for me. (For those of you who don't know, we don't have our own washer 
and dryer. Thank goodness the laundromat is only 15 yards away!) Anyway, I quietly stepped out while Emery was asleep on the couch to switch the laundry to the dryer. At the next chance I could, about 2 hours later, I went down to get the load from the dryer...as I stepped in the door, I noticed a roller laundry cart full of strangely familiar clothing. Ooooo! I hate it when people touch my laundry! And it wasn't even dry! I noticed the dryer I had left my clothes in was full of fluffy, dry looking clothing. I hadn't brought my money with me to put them in again and I didn't want to go through the process of coming to get it again later. What's so ironic is that last week when I was doing my laundry, there were not enough dryers on the bottom bank of dryers to put all my loads in the bottom (the problem with the top is that Kevin or I are not very tall...we often miss socks, onesees, etc. because we simply cannot see into the bottom of the dryer) so I debated for half a second whether I should remove another persons clean laundry and set it aside so that I could use the bottom dryer. I decided "I hate it when people touch m
y laundry" hoping that later my consideration would pay off...guess not. I understand it is also frustrating when laundry is left far too long, taking up space in the laundry, but what you don't know is that maybe, just maybe, that persons laundry is still there because their 15 month old won't let them leave the apartment without them. Imagine the difficulty of carrying a load of laundry and a toddler 15 yards and up a large set of stairs... So now our load of laundry is drying all over the house, including the master bed.

If any of you can relate, hopefully it made you laugh and made you grateful that you don't have to use a laudromat anymore. Hopefully, most of you don't. I look forward to reading more of your posts and I hope mine are not too boring or "everyday"!

I'm so glad you have a blog but I feel bad that you had a difficult weekend. Sick children are so difficult even though they're often sweet and cuddly. I also love your method of drying laundry, it's soooo economical!
oh so not fun - I don't know who the gremlins are that move the laundry, but it is super rude. I hope all of you are feeling better soon!
I'd be super bugged about that! I hate the thought of other people pawing my undies. :)
I feel your pain. We have community washer/dryers in our condo and there have been many times when I've been the one whose wet laundry is left sitting on the folding table because I couldn't get to it for 2 or 3 or 4 hours. I guess us moms do what we can.
someone needs to put a hidden camera in that laundromat and bust the losers who mess with/steal others stuff. oh, snap! (thanks for reminding me of that phrase, summer) ;)
Erin, we love hearing about "everyday" things, otherwise we wouldn't spend all day reading each others blogs :) So sorry beautiful baby girl was sick, I bet that is a blog entry right there!! So glad to have my own washer and dryer!! Dani :)
yay!!!!! So glad you've started a blog! Been thinking of you lately and now I can see what you're up to!
