My parents are amazing

I am one lucky girl.

Two weeks ago I was in the middle of a stomach bug with all three girls and myself. Not fun at all. As you can imagine, the laundry associated with three little girls throwing up profusely is just obscene. After a late night sick session I had to strip Maddie's bed and get everything in the wash. I realized right then that the washing machine hadn't fully drained from the load I'd done earlier that night. I hoped that I'd get lucky and threw her bedding in anyways. I woke up the next morning to find I wasn't lucky at all. I called my dad because that's what I do when something isn't working right. He said he'd be by to look at it. I gathered up all of our laundry and spent a couple hours at the laundromat getting everything washed and folded. Dad came by and declared that the motor had died. What timing...in so many ways! Having just put earnest money down on the house, we didn't have any extra $$ for an appliance purchase. Everyone had stopped throwing up but the babies had a BAD case of the runs and laundry was accumulating so quickly! Saturday we left the house for a few hours and came home to a new washing machine - already installed. My parents decided a washing machine was a necessity for me and they took care of it. They're the best! I did 12 loads of laundry in 36 hours. You've probably never seen a girl happier about having a washing machine.

Tonight I called my dad to see if I could borrow their lawn mower because we couldn't figure out how to get the one here started. He stopped by to check it out and he had mowed most of the lawn before I realized he was here. He stopped only because it ran out of gas. He left for a minute to get more and came back to finish up. What a guy. :)

These are just two examples of the bazillion things my parents do for me. Thanks, Mom and Dad! I love you!
