I see this picture and I can't seem to decide if it means I had a good day or a really crappy day folding laundry. Seems to me, folding laundry is terribly boring and should only be done on cloudy, rainy or snowy days. But today, it was warm! and sunny! And I stayed inside and folded laundry.
But on the other hand, laundry must be done and so should it feel good to have the laundry done. After all, I have done close to eight loads of laundry in the past two days and now I'm done for at least, you know, two days. So, that's a good thing, right?
AND, I used my new favorite detergent and new favorite fabric softener.
However, last night I did a load of laundry and I never put anything in the washer. I even added fabric softener to, well, just a big basin of swishing water. I even asked Brian to put the clothes from the washer to the dryer. And there wasn't anything in the washer to move. Which made him happy because that meant no switching loads for him. And that just confirmed to both of us that I am losing my mind.
Which is not good news for anybody.
And Brian did put the clothes away. Well, most of them, he did leave the kids' socks. Which, you know, go right next to the underwear, which were put away. But whatever, that's okay. It's free help.
So, the laundry is all done. The sun was out today. I took a nap. And now I'm eating nachos. I guess I'll consider it a good day.
It was a good day!!

You were a better girl than I. We skipped the laundry and went to the park. I will be paying for that today. Oh well, it was a beautiful day.

Your day was much more productive than mine, and I didn't even get to eat Nachos.
I spent the day on the blawgs and shopping on Amazon...which to me was a pretty good day, but the fam? They wanted clean clothes.

I am thinking your laundry folding is GREAT...and can I give you my address? I have about 6 loads of my own waiting for me.

There are still clothes in my dryer, waiting for me, since Sunday. Laundry is always a step ahead... life gets so much easier when I just accept that.

Wow - you must have had a lot on your mind to forget putting the clothes in the washer. That's funny!

Actually, I've run empty loads, too. I told Dave later I was just trying to clean the actual washer.
I don't think he bought it.

Lucky for you, you probably live somewhere that the sun shines more than 8 days a year! Glory in a day filled with accomplishment...and enjoy the sun guilt free tomorrow!

I so understand about the laundry! Have mercy! I'm so behind right now. What happens is I'll do like 15 loads of laundry in a row. Then I'll get totally burnt out and not want to do it for a week. Then I get behind again!
