I have a toddler. What the heck are you supposed to do with a toddler when you are too tired to get up and move in the morning? During that "too-tired-to-get-up-and-do-much-of-anything" period I discovered the greatest thing. Sesame Street. I had totally forgot morning children's tv existed. That wonderful morning I turned it on and Levi fell in love with it as I laid down on the couch. Now, we watch it together most mornings. I know it's not the greatest thing for little kids but it is the ONLY time he is still during the day and I just like to cuddle up with him under a big blanket and watch it with him.
Anyways. Today as we were watching we found out the word of the day was LAUNDRY MAT. As mismatch socks sang and danced around in a laundry mat I was taken back in time.
When Jason and I first got married we lived in a couple 'choice' basement apartments in Provo, Utah while we were both in school. And unless you had amazing connections or enough to shell out for a 'real' apartment, you were usually stuck in one of those houses divided up into 4 apartments or more. This also meant you didn't have a washer and dryer forcing you to go to that wonderful place we call the laundry mat.
I suppose it wasn't all that bad. Lots of times we would rent a movie on a Friday night and take our laptop as we washed, dried and folded our clothes. The place was fairly deserted (because who really goes and does laundry on a Friday night?). It was usually a pretty fun, cheap and productive date.
As I watched I debated weather I like only having to do laundry once a week with two people taking it on or having the steady flow of clothing being either gathered, washed, folded, put away, with no end in sight......maybe we should have stuck with the laundry mat.

I love the blog, and getting to see mannie whenever I want. . . .and to read your sweet commentary. Living with you I probably don't tell you enough what a privilege it is to be in your charming presence so much - and that of your Beau and his Sidekick. Sesame Street got me through many AM crises and moments of domestic paralysis (of which I had many)while you and your 4 companeros were little.
Love you,
Nesie

Also. weather is what is outside. . . .whether indicates a choice between one thing or another. cdj
I have to say that I have become a HUGE fan of Sesame Street! A: there are no comercials and B: Grace loves it so much she will sit still for about 10 minutes, which is long enough for me to get something done. Amen to your blog entry!
This is awesome. It so reminds me of Liberty Square! Sadly in those days there was no fun married dates while doing laundry. I hope you are less tired now. Your little boy is so cute!
I love how my mom corrected my english.....
Kendra, My trick is that I use a site called picnik.com to edit my photos. I'm able to crop them, make them black and white, partially black and white, and a ton of other things for free. That's how I edit them and make them look great! It's my new passion. :)
