I live in rural South Dakota, I am a mother of 4 girls. There is never a lack of excitement in this house, along with laundry.
Speaking of laundry, my dryer went on the fritz back in October right around Halloween. Living 30 miles from the nearest laundromat, and 120 miles from the nearest Lowes with out a dryer has proved to be a bit of a challenge. For starters, if my dryer had chosen to quit back in ohhh say July, not nearly such a big deal but late October, and November in South Dakota is not ideal laundry drying weather. Living so far from a large city has made it difficult for Lowes to send out a repair man, Thanksgiving has came and went and still no dryer.
For those who don't have 4 girls under the age of 10 living in their house let me describe the amount of laundry we go through. My youngest changes clothes about 4 times a day, and when you have girls, you don't dare wear anything twice. And if you change your mind, maybe you don't want to wear that outfit, it hits the floor, not the closet. I could hire somebody to do laundry full time, now imagine doing this with NO DRYER!!!
My house for the last month looks like a thrift store, we wash a load and then get hangers and hang them all over the house to dry. The girls love to hang them up, they are having fun with it, but after a month mom is not seeing the fun.
I hope to share more little tidbits about me and our way of life here. There is nothing like the view from my kitchen window.
