I don't love doing laundry, and I probably never will. It is a neverending cycle of washing, drying, folding, putting away, getting clothes dirty and starting all over again. But after a month or so of not having a working washing machine, I was actually excited to do a couple of loads of laundry today. David was able to pick up a washing machine that I found on craigslist yesterday, thanks to his mom driving him in their truck and his dad helping to unload it.
Now, things really weren't as bad as I sometimes felt they were, since we have a laundromat here in the apartment complex and David did a lot of our laundry over at his parents' house as he worked there. But getting a washing machine after being without one for a little while makes me appreciate it all over again. It may not take long before I look at laundry as just another chore again, but right now I'm simply grateful. It's one of those things that's all about the way you look at it.

Laundry is one of my least favorite chores, too. I actually never did the laundry before we had kids, but now it is solely my chore. I definitely take my washer and dryer for granted, though. Laundry would be a much harder chore if I had to lug everything to a laundromat. And what do you do with all those middle of the night throw up or accident incidents (granted, we probably have a lot more middle of the night throwing up than your kids do, but still....). Ewww. Anyhow, thanks for your "perspective" reminder. Congrats on the new washer!
