Ugh...laundry
I am sitting in the hallway outside my laundry room surrounded by what can only be described as a sea of dirty clothes. I am sorting. And sorting. And sorting. I admit, it has been a few days since I have done laundry. Not many, just a few. A minute ago I started a load in the washer and I can hear it going through its different phases in the room behind me. As I continue to sort, and the washing machine continues through its cycle, I think to myself that the washer might beat me to the punch here and finish washing that load before I finish all the sorting. I call over to Jason, exasperated, "You know, there is something wrong in the world when the washing machine washes a whole load faster than I can sort all the rest of this laundry!" Without missing one single beat and totally nonchalantly he replies, "Is there something wrong with the washer or is there something wrong with you?" "Ha! You just earned yourself a date with my blog for that one!" And I go back to sorting.

One benefit of having teenagers... everyone in my house now does their own laundry!! They know how to work the washer and dryer and so if they complain that they have "nothing to wear" it is totally on THEM!!
ReplyDeleteThey don't always do it very well, mind you. Often they throw all of their clothes in one load, so the whites are looking a little dull these days. But they've pretty much learned what will and won't bleed. Even my husband does his own laundry!
Now, I'm not completely uncaring... If I'm doing a load of my own and don't have enough to fill the washer, I will always ask the kids if they have something they want me to wash. And I'm usually the one to wash towels and sheets. But pretty much... I don't do a whole lot of laundry anymore. Yippee!!
PS... I can also sleep in as late as I want! ;-)
Rub it in why dontcha!
