Day: March 13, 2004

The grandparents bought Amy some new clothing. Amy put them on herself. I turn my back for a couple of minutes with the 10 yr old upstairs with Amy and with the clothes tags on Amy spills red staining stuff on them.

I guess this is my weekend to mend clothes. Thank goodness the clothing fits her and didn’t need to be returned!

Ran out of WD-40. I know there is a tall can in the garage but the garage is so stinking unorganized that I’d never find it.

Took Noah to a friends and dropped Sarah and cookie supplies at the mall for their next booth. Will pick them up in an hour. Now off to get more WD-40.

This Morning

Got the proof! WD-40 and/or a combination of 2 cups baking soda with liquid tide and oxiclean gets crayons out of clothing! I ran old rags through the dyer all night long and nothing came off on them so I suspect the crayons are in hiding or the jeans absorbed them all. I think the dryer is fine.

Off to buy more WD-40 and prepare for other chaos today.

Last Night

Spent the evening working on the clothes and the dryer and catching up with the wife.

Made it home in 3 hours (half hour delay in rush hour Nashville). Was sent on cookie errand and decided to go to store for cleaning supplies so I could spend the night getting crayons out of the laundry. Should have bought more WD-40. It’s working great! I’m out now and have several items left. Will probably sleep a bit.

Other todos: create and email an invoice, create a cover letter regarding a qa job, household cleaning and repairs, vehicle maintenance
