Laundry
Here it is Sunday evening and whew, am I pooped. I think we (DS#1 and myself) just attened the world’s longest bowling birthday party. lol. The kids had a blast. The mommies really enjoyed talking to and learning a bit more about each other. A shame that it always seems to happen so close to the end of the school years.
One of the things that seemed to get discussed a lot tonight was laundry. I swear laundry just seems to multiply like bunnies at my house. Three kids, one dog, one mommy (who loves relaxing baths) and a puking cat. That equals a lot of laundry. Before I get too far gone from the puking cat statement - yes, it is an outside cat. You didn’t honestly think I’d let a puking cat live inside my house, now did you ?
So, here I sit, typing away, listening to the relaxing sound of the dryer going round and round. lol. I cringe as I think that there is already one load dried and waiting to be folded just sitting in the hallway, while there are 2 others already sorted waiting to be washed — Tomorrow. lol. I did the emergency laundry washing tonight. You all know what that is. It is where you pull the most important pieces of clothing out of all the dirty hampers and wash that one load so that everyone in the house has clean clothes to wear the next day. Lol.
As I sit here laughing, hanging my head in shame, I’m also praying that somehow my children learn a little bit better organizational skills than their mother did. So, if you are having your nightly glass of milk (or wine) raise it in a toast with me — here’s to clean laundry.

I raise a toast to you Sushi! Something methodical about laundry. You have a task in front of you and you slowly chip away. And when you are done, you have soft towels, crisp sheets and your favorite tee shirt clean
and puking cats suck. I wish I didn’t know this first hand.
