Laundromats

Do you ever see something while driving and a thought pops into your head? As I headed home from work today, I passed the laundromat. I pass it every day. I saw a lady lugging her laundry basket out the door and my mind raced back to the days where we lived in an apartment and had to go to the laundromat. It was awful to go and we very much disliked it. The last time I had to go, I was 8 months pregnant with Aliyah and it was summer. We lived on the 3rd floor of the apartment--no elevators. I remembered hauling that stuff up all of those stairs and kind of despising it. It's one thing we do not miss! The other thing I hated about the laundromat was that it was a smokey type-of place unless you went on smoke-free Wednesdays or whatever day that was.
Anyway, as I passed that laundromat, I couldn't help but be thankful for having a washer and dryer and not having to visit laundromats anymore!
Other than my thankful thought of the day, it was Monday. You know what Mondays are...the day to immerse back into work --particularly after a long holiday weekend. I loved the holiday weekend so much that I didn't want it to end. There is still work to be done at home--dishes, thank-you's, Christmas decs to put away, and more. Some things may or may not get finished tonight, it depends. I may just want to sit and chill, or I may feel productive. Either way, I'm looking forward to another holiday this week and spending more time with my sweetie-pies (all 3 of them). We are planning another trip to near-Chicago for New Year's. Apparently, we feel the need to go that way once a month or more as this will make 6 months in a row now! Josh plans to get some extra food from PF Changs so he can have some when he has a craving. He craves that worse than a pregnant lady craves ice cream or pickles--lol!
