Ah, well. Lavender is an underused color for my familys' formerly white underwear, T-shirts, socks and bras. And it is actually quite lovely, really. Kind of a mixture between lilac and lavender, with randomly spaced dark purple wax streaks. Very classy. Maybe this is Gods' way of reminding me that the notion that I am in control is a destructive illusion. Maye it is Gods' way of illustrating that unexpected blessings can come from seemingly not-so-great happenings. Purple unmentionables might just be more becoming on every member of our family than white was. It might start a trend.
Then again, maybe it is Gods' way of reminding me to just check the doggone washing machine for LaLa's crayons before adding clothes, water, and detergent.
This will be a funny memory one day. In about eight years.

Oh no! Tell me this isn't the order you load the washing machine!! It clearly should be water, soap, and then clothes.
Alas, you fellow laundry wonder women, I have a front loading washer. All clothes must be inside before the door will close and lock. THEN I can add the detergent, water, or my many thrilling additives. Wonderful, though, and nary a laundry detergent spot to report. BUT - that is probably due to my long-standing rule of always using LIQUID detergent. :) Ah, we of so many rules for such everyday tasks.
Laundry was never, ever so colorful as when CRAYOLA entered the picture yeaterday. Praise God for Oxi-CLean and Spray and Wash balls. The combination of those two has all but erased such pleasant lavender memories. :)
It's funny NOW.
Right there with ya with Oxi Clean and liquid detergent. Too funny after the fact about the purple crayola. LOL!!!
