It was a quiet Sunday afternoon and I was so enjoying my computer time with no guilt. You know what I mean. It's Sunday so I am not supposed to be doing anything but worshiping God and enjoying a day of rest.
Unfortunately, I HAD to wash my sheets today. I never do laundry on a Sunday. Never, ever. In fact, I try to do as little as possible in the way of housework on this day. Because that is what God calls us to do. Enjoy Him and take a break!
Okay, so I'm doing laundry because a certain little three year old is scared of storms. And, a certain daddy loves for his eldest (and less squirmy) daughter to cuddle and sleep with us in our bed every once in a while. Okay, so I kind of like it too. It takes me back her infancy.
Anyway......she was so exhausted and had stayed up so late the night before that she tinkled in her sleep!! In my bed! I was horrified. Mainly, because it meant I had to wash our sheets today, on my day of rest! Note to self: go buy that extra set of sheets tomorrow.
So, back to my main point. Lauren and John had left to take a field trip to Lowe's or something. Catherine, a.k.a The Squirmy One, was napping. And, I was supposed to be enjoying my guilt free computer time. But, something kept thumping in the dryer. I ignored it for a while. But, it was really loud. Even the new songs I downloaded earlier couldn't drown it out.
I kept thinking, what in the world could that be? It sounds like a shoe. But, why on earth would there be a SHOE in my dryer. I'm not washing shoes. I'm washing sheets and a few things that were already in the washing machine. So, what is that noise?!!
I debated for a long time on whether or not it was worth it to get out of my big, comfy chair. My curiousity got the best of me and I dragged my lazy self into the laundry room. It took me several minutes of searching, but I was determined. I mean, I did get out of my big, comfy chair to find the source of the quite disturbing noise.
No shoe. Of course it wasn't a shoe. I wasn't washing shoes. But, I had thought, in the back of my mind, maybe The Squirmy One had thrown one in there when I wasn't looking. Entirely possible scenario in any household with toddlers, right?
This was the source of the continual, loud, disruptive pounding in my dryer.

Can you believe it? That is one serious pocket knife, people. Big, sharp, and in some cases extremely loud. Oh, and now it is very clean. Bonus for John.
