I don't know how I got stuck with this family of ten. All I want is one day of rest. Is that too much to ask? My dream is to be left alone for a single day. Even when they don't turn me on, they leave a smelly sock or adirty cloth inside me. Some days I do five loads back to back. Don't they know it's tiring being on spin cycle that much? It is nice to be needed, but a appreciation wouldn't hurt. Do you ever hear anyone say , ''I love my washing machine''? Maybe in those other houses with the fancy new front loading washers, but not in this house. Not with an old model like me. I do a good job. I only break down if they load me too full. I rarely leak. Would it hurt them to say thank you? A new brand of detergent would be a nice touch. Maybe something ecofriendly or non-scented. At least they didn't us bleach today. Today was a dark load day. Tomorrow is for whites.
