Laundry Turn-Around in Record Time


I do the laundry in our house and I take pride in, you know, sorting well, fighting stains and managing to get it all done fast enough so we all stay dressed. So, today, Baby Girl isn’t feeling well. Noel and I are sitting on the couch and Baby Girl is on Noel’s lap. I’m folding the laundry, making piles on the floor. All the clothes have been washed and dried, it’s feeling good to be almost done, just a few pieces left to fold when….

Baby Girl throws up. I don’t mean a little spit-up, I mean real throw-up, projectile-style, in multiple directions, of all her carrots from lunch.

Now, I know Baby Girl is all right. She was at the doctor just this morning, she is a little sick but will be back to her old self soon.

I’m not sure I’m all right, though. Bright orange carrots got on all of Noel’s clothes and my sweatshirt. And on the couch and the carpet. And little splatters of carrots got all over the clean clothes. Then there were the clean wash cloths that never made it to the cabinet that I used to clean up the mess. So, instead of me setting a record today for the quickest cleaning of the clothes, Baby Girl set a record for the quickest dirtying of the clothes. I always knew she was talented. I can’t wait to see what she’ll come up with next.

Thanks for the comment, Jess! Yeah, I’m pretty amazed by both my girls, especially when they are together and Noel is kissing on Baby Girl and Baby Girl just SMILES and GIGGLES!

Oh I know I know!
You could use the same folding procedure as before only..wear a helmet with a face shield attached and a big plastic cape as you fold.
then if Baby Girl begins to barf… fling your body over all of the laundry arms spread wide, legs leaping into postion and stand your ground accepting all of the carrot spewed loveliness.
All will be protected and with a quick rinse off from a hose..you should be good as new ..and ready to resume folding.
Hope this helps.
Your family is adorbale..every last little bit!

Cameo,

Yes, this is quite brilliant. I especially like the part about the cape. How fun is that?
