well that was nice!

last night was laundry night. that's right, ladies & gentlemen...friday night in my household is one party after another...8 loads of laundry makes for a great time! i'd say the only redeeming factor is the "alone" time in the launderette while 1 stays home with the kids.
i pull up to the launderette & there are about a kazillion cars in the parking lot but no one in the place. whatever. i don't get it either. there are 3 men standing outside the launderette chatting. i get out of my truck, open the back & grab 2 baskets. head towards the door. i swear, those men about ran each other over trying to get to the door first. and wanted to know if i needed any help. um, not really, just get the door & i'll be fine. but apparently someone raised these men right because they wouldn't take no for an answer. so one guy got the other 2 baskets, the other guy shut the truck & the 3rd one held the door. and they wanted to know if i wanted any dinner because it sure did look like i was going to be there for awhile! no thanks...peace & quiet & a kid free 2 hours is all i need. thanks for the help!
so what if they were probably almost as old as my dad. it's nice to be catered to every once in awhile. makes a girl feel pretty darn good.
