I am Thankful for my Washing Machine

As much as I DISLIKE doing laundry, I love having a washing machine.  Could you imagine having to wash you clothes in a wash bin with a washing board?  Or in a river?  With the 4 loads I did today and the like 10 more I have to do I am so thankful I can just throw them in the machine and have it do the work for me.  Now if only I could find a machine to fold them all and put them away I would be set.  On a good note the kids are stared to put thier own clothes away and I love it. 

This is not what my washing machine looks like, but I would love a front loader.  And how fun would a red one be?  Maybe it would make laundry chores so much funner.
