So what to do with a baby to keep her entertained all day? Think I mentioned taking a lot of long walks already, but how about the idea of spending all day once a week in the laundromat? That's got to be entertaining. The whir of the washing machines. Watching the clothes go round and round in the big drum dryers. Funny the things you can come up with when you have no choice.
We did meet a few charming people that way.(not as many as you can see if you go to peopleofwalmart.com right now). Anyway, we had clean clothes, and I no longer had to boil pans of water on the stove to wash diapers in the bathtub. And it seems looking back, it has often made life seem easier since then. Looking at what you can do during the lean times.
Seemed like laundry eventually became my career as you got more and more brothers and sisters. The very first thing we did when we finished our tour of duty and moved back to the States was to buy a washer and dryer. Was I in heaven!
I'd be interested to know how those early experiences affected you. Is laundry your favorite chore? Or wish someday we'd have disposable clothes? Hey, it could be worse.
