I'm Gonna Sell My Kids To The Gypsies

Another fun-filled day of mystery shopping!  Whee!  Free groceries rock!  They rock, but it sure does wear me out going to all the different stores to get them and then putting the reports in afterwards.  But, hey, I'd be a lazy woman to not go get free groceries.

 

I'm about to kick some nameless small childrens' hineys if they don't stop taking blankets, afghans, pillows, stuffed animals, and sheets outdoors and making forts.  I came in from all of this mystery shopping only to find all of the above victims of a nasty thunderstorm.  I was *not* pleased.  After unloading all of my groceries and having Rich break a half gallon jug of my wonderful Homestead Creamery Milk from Kroger's, I ended up with like three towels totally saturated in wonderful, hormone-free, whole creamline milk.  What a waste....

 

Needless to say, I had to do some laundry.  I go outside in the rain and gather up all of these various items that had been rained upon, bring them into the laundry area only to discover that the afghan has tons of EARTHWORMS embedded in it!  BLAH!  I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't care one thing about earthworms, but you can't have them in your washing machine.  Blick.

 

So I had to take it outside and pick all of the critters out of the afghan and then bring it back in and throw it in the washer.  I swear, I have ran it through one soak cycle, rinse, and spin cycle and it all still is just disgusting.  So I got up from my slumber and am now running it through AGAIN on the long cycle with some Odoban in the rinse.  I'll more than likely wash it AGAIN after that.  If I catch another child with things of this nature outdoors again, I'm gonna sell them to the gypsies....for real....seriously.

 

 

So I'm off to bed to start the insanity all over again tomorrow.  Klara has preschool, Will has story hour at the library, and Jared will want to be dropped off at school and not take the bus.  Perhaps I will get a nap tomorrow afternoon?  Neh....I doubt it....
