If you leave your husband home alone on New Year's Eve, he may try to do some laundry.
When he breaks your washing machine, he'll probably decide that it's not worth fixing.
He'll take you to buy a new one (because every mother of many knows that her washing machine is a friend she cannot live without), and the store will be having such a great sale that you'd be losing money not to buy the matching dryer.
When he takes the old washer and dryer out of the laundry room, he'll realize that it would be a good time to repaint the walls (which he would never be persuaded to do under ordinary circumstances).
He'll have to remove all of the shelves before he paints.
This will force you to de-clutter the first of twelve rooms on your list.
When the room is freshly painted, you will want to wash the floor before the new washer and dryer are placed in their new home.
As long as you're washing the laundry room floor, you might as well scrub all of the bathroom floors too.
If you spend the evening cleaning floors, you can put off writing that Christmas letter you've been avoiding for weeks.
And chances are...if you don't get the annual family letter written by Epiphany, the next time you leave him home alone for New Year's Eve, he'll forget the laundry and write the letter himself.

This is too funny, Diane! And the first thought I had when I read your machine was broken? - "Lucky girl!" Every mama wants a new laundry machine! :)
I was thinking the same thing at first. :-) Ah, who needs a letter, right? ;-)
Very nice. That worked out just right, didn't it?
Just take a picture of your new washer/dryer and mail it out. All the women in your life will think it is just great.
Haha I just read the title of this post. Haha, very witty. :)
Love this!
