It all comes out in the wash

A couple of days ago I noticed that our washing machine was having a hard time counting down. We have one of the new fangled front loaders with an electronic display and every time I put a load in the 56 minutes it said it would take ended up being about 1 hour and 56 minutes. Having no time for this nonsense I sent Chris out to take a look at it. After taking some hoses off he called me out and said, "Are you missing any of these?" Well, perhaps if I had actually counted them after washing them I would have realized that two of my nursing pads were missing. Apparently they had gotten sucked down into the filter making it hard for water to drain out of the machine. If only they worked that well for their intended purpose!
