The Other L Word

LAUNDRY

Having ALL of the clothes clean at one time is a rare event. So rare, that when it actually occurs two things take place. 1) No one can find anything to wear because they're not used to clothes being where they actually belong. And 2) Drawers and closets are bursting at their seams and can barely contain the amount of clothes we actually have. They (as in the fam) honestly aren't aware of how much clothing we own until it's all in one place. I, on the other hand know all to well, as I am the designated laundry washer, dryer, sorter, folder, and (mostly) put awayer.

It's a really awesome feeling to be able to see the laundry room floor, to know that our kids are provided for and THEN some, and to know that the laundry is DONE! (For today.)It's also awesome to know that I am not alone in this never-ending battle against the immortal laundry monster!

Now please, tell me this: am I the only one who VOWS to never get behind again? And who SWEARS to keep up with it "this time"? I tell myself over and over, "Yes! We're caught up! Now keep it this way!!". Only to fall prey to the laundry monster once more.

I know one day I'm going to MISS washing these clothes. These little, dirty, well-payed in clothes. I know one day I will be able to get away with washing just one load a week. That seems forever away, especially when I'm in the throws of battle. But I know it will be here in a blink of an eye.

Perhaps I should cherish the endless supply of mismatched socks...but on the other hand...maybe not. ;)
