Whata Week!
I'm beat.
Tile came in 2 days late. My mom totaled a snowmobile last Friday. Broke her left hip & right wrist. Had to deal with dad's inability to do laundry. Found busted floor joist on tile job. Missed nephew's birthday because of all the drama. The wifey has been in Hawaii all week. I get to take care of all 3 dogs by myself. Stopped at store on way home tonight. Sam Adams + frozen Gino's East deep dish = RELAX!!!!!!

Re: Whata Week!
I'm not allowed to touch the washing machine or dryer. I planned it that way, a little bleach on the black clothes and never do laundry again.

Re: Whata Week!
I've done my own laundry since I left the nest as a young teenager. Still do it today.

Re: Whata Week!
What's the big deal with laundry? Got away from the wife 8 years ago, been doing laundry ever since. Costs me about $2000 a month less to do it myself.

Re: Whata Week!
LOL, sorry man, but the way I initially read that almost sounded like your mom broke her wrist, so dad had to take over the laundry duties which included yours
