Friday Confessional: No Surprises Here


Photobucket

I confess…


I hate doing laundry.
Yeah, well, join the club!
I would love to join the club and get matching jackets (that would never requiring cleaning) and swap names for our piles of clothes (my current favorite is Mount Washmore) and empathize over the stray crayon that somehow made it into the dryer with the girls' nice dresses.

I confess…

It wasn't just the act of doing the laundry but the hopeless, never-ending onslaught of clothes. The laundry is never "done." It's just not possible, especially since I've been potty training Baby this week (don't ask - it ain't pretty). So I avoided laundry like I avoid green beans.

I confess…

I felt like a failure because, for me, it hurts to do the laundry. Well, if you're bionic, it hurts. To understand better, next time you put in a load, switch it to the dryer, etc., try not using your right arm. You can't even use it to balance the load. So go about the laundry with one arm and see how much harder it becomes. And you can all thank me later for the greater appreciation you will have for the use of both arms to move wet clothes.

I confess…

I don't do the laundry anymore and that has made all the difference.

I confess…

The Man is the one hauling loads and sorting socks. My husband is the best, sexiest, sweetest, strongest, did I mention sexiest?, and most wonderful man. He was in awe of the fact that we produce loads of whites, darks, lights, and pinks.

I confess…

Seeing him add the fabric softener sheets to yet another load of clothes makes me fall in love with him all over again.

That's so sweet! My husband doesn't even know how to work the washer. Yet he is a Bum Genius diaper socking champ! :) Have a great long weekend.

I don't do the laundry but I do cook and wash dishes.

oh, man, I can relate, I have major laundry issues....I always get a burst of productivity when I buy new products. Right now it's Oxiclean- I can't wait to pull out the laundry because it smell fresh and clean again. Maybe you need to shop to cure this problem!
ALSO- I pay my kids $1.25 to fold a basket and put it away. You'd be surprised how this has helped ;-)
