As I write this, I am extremely sleep-deprived and my Frigidaire Affinity washer & dryer are working OVERTIME. Why? Because this morning at 12:30 a.m., I heard the unmistakable sound of puking over the monitor in Sophie’s room. And, since we’d been to Cortney’s earlier in the afternoon where Sophie had consumed this navy blue cupcake, I KNEW it was going to be BAD!
It was baaaaaaad. Navy blue puke everywhere. On Sophie, for one, and in her beautiful hair, all over her PJ’s, her Dora sheets and pillow, her Eeyore blanket, and even some of her doll clothes for her Angelina Ballerina doll. (Not to mention the carpet, which my amazing husband steam-cleaned in the middle of the night AFTER we bathed Sophie.)
The Soph continued to spew blue (not the cupcake’s fault, I would like to say, she just got a bug somewhere) every 20-30 minutes for the next few hours. Finally about four in the morning she was blued-out and nothing was left and then we got the neon-yellow bile. She threw up continuously until 9 am, then things slowed down, but we still had several more incidents until 12:45 pm. I would estimate she threw up about 20 times during that period. Poor Sophie, who until this had thrown up probably only 3 or 4 times in her entire life, was totally confused and traumatized!
So, like I said. 6th load of laundry in. And I have at LEAST one more to go! Including the jeans I am wearing. (Hey, I have like, two pairs of maternity pants that fit! I am desperate! Quick setting, quick setting!) We were completely out of clean towels by 7 am. Did I mention how much I love the “quick” setting on my Frigidaire washer & dryer??
Pretty much all my favorite settings have applied throughout this day, especially Stain Clean and Sanitize! And since I have been awake now for oh…over 15 hours, I am very thankful that my Affinity dynamic duo are so easy to operate. I haven’t managed to screw up any of said loads…and I am a walking zombie, or in this case, a “mombie” (as my friend Cherry likes to say.) And the blue? Is gone! All of our laundry is blue-cupcake free.
So, I’ve been telling you about these great appliances for months now, and I think fate saw it fitting to give me something really EPIC to talk about for my GRANDE FINALE post!! Ah, well. Good enough. The appliances were worth it!
And do you think it’s a coincidence that they are BLUE??

Yeah, I don’t think its a coincidence at all.
Hope Sophie is feeling better.
Poor Sophie – what horrible timing! I was totally ready to come steam clean your house but it would have had to be AFTER the puking stopped since you know how well I do with puke ;-)!!
