About four years ago my washing machine stopped doing the spin cycle. I would go to put the clothes in the dryer and they would be sitting there in the washing machine full of water. I had recently had a problem with our dryer and had paid a service man $75 to come to my house to look at the dryer and tell me it wasn't worth fixing, and I should just buy a new one! Well I wasn't going to let that happen again. So I went on the internet and typed in the washing machine model and problem. I not only found a web site that explained how to fix it, but it even had pictures! So I went to work. I removed the metal casing from the washing machine and placed it in the hallway next to the laundry room. My twin sons Jake and Joe were three at the time. So Jake came running down the hall to investigate the metal casing. Now this casing was basically a big box with one side open. So Jake proceeded to climb inside and check it out. Then he ran down the hall and said, "Joe come quick. Mama built a tent!"

Welcome!
Hello friends and family! I have been wanting to do this for a very long time, and I have finally accomplished this goal. This blog will contain stories and adventures of my life and the life of my alter ego, Launderella. I have three beautiful children who keep me very busy. After I had my twin boys and laundry began to take over my life, Launderella appeared and has not gone away. I'm not sure if she will ever go away.
Now for the first story. One of my first memories of laundry was of course with my mom. She is a lady I hold a very high respect for having raised five children. Now that I have three children of my own I now know why she was always telling us to go play outside. But anyway, we would be watching television and she would come and plop down a load of laundry and say, "Since you're just sitting there, fold these." Being a teenager, of course, I thought that would interfere with my television watching, but you know, it never did. Huh. So needless to say, we folded a lot of laundry. And it trained me well in the task of laundry.
