The joys of laundry...
Yes, it is 1 am and I am on the computer writing on my blog. Why, you ask. Simple. I just spent the last 1 1/2 hours spraying WD-40 and then rubbing in dish detergent into a FULL load of laundry. One shirt at a time. Why, you ask-again. That would be b/c one of my children decided to stash a ROYAL BLUE GLITTER CRAYON in their pocket. Yup, you guessed it, I didn't catch it. And it went through the wash. And the dryer. So instead of switching the clothes over and heading to bed, I got to make a late night run to Wal-Mart. (We didn't have any WD-40, or Clorox 2). And then I got to sit at the counter and spray EVERY single spot of crayon. And believe me, it was ALL over. And of course it had been a large load of laundry. So now I am sitting around waiting for the load to-yet again-finish. So I can see if the crayon actually came out, or if I have to find a bunch of money to go buy new clothes. And yes, of course, all of David's nicer-new-shirts had been in that load, and ALL 7 of our brand new Undersea Adventures shirts (worn only once before).

Ugh!!! Curse all those markers, crayons, gum, chapstick, and "royal blue glitter glue" that seem to sneek into our kids pockets again and again. I hate that!!!
And of course it can't just happen with a load of rags it always seems to be with a load full of your favorite outfits. Totally sucks!
Did the WD-40 and dish soap work?
IT DID!!!! I didn't think it would, but it actually got out ALL the crayon! yippee!!! Of course all of our clothes stunk REALLY bad. So it took some work to get the smell of WD-40 out of it.
Wow! Been there done that! Damon's mom once washed a load of Edyn and Ava's NICE clothes and there was a crayon. I didn't know you could use WD-40. If I would have known that, I wouldn't have thrown them all away! You are so industrious!
