Life's Laundry


I can make an 8 o'clock appointment but my BEST days start with coffee and email, in that order. I can remember when I didn't have time for coffee or paper OR email. In fact email didn't even happen at my house until 1992. The monitor set on the desk in the kitchen and I rarely turned it on. Our dial-up connection to AOL left much to be desired. Logging on consisted of long periods of clicks and beeps, I usually just gave up on connecting to the World Wide Web.  It wasn't until the mid 90's and a faster computer that I realized there was something to the Internet that might interest me. I was slow to warm up, mostly using email and occasionally venturing out to find a recipe or looking something up that I'd read about. Those middle years were for kids and homework and laundry. Loads and loads of laundry or dishes to load and unload. There never seemed to be a stopping point. I was always one load away from being finished until the next day when I would be two loads behind! If you are still in your pj's this morning, on your second load of wash... you know just what I mean, don't you?

  1. or you will be like my optometrist who recently told me quote "I love being an empty nester!!"

    He made some good points......I will say nothing further in case one of my two children would see this.

  2. The only time I miss the piles and piles of laundry is when my favorite blouse/top is dirty and I want to wear it again soon, I have nothing around to make a load. Oh I guess that's what the small cycle is for.

    1. I know, I feel too guilty to do just one thing in the washer! In those cases, I just walk around the house a little while and then I have a FULL load!

  3. I must be doing something wrong. Even with three of the four gone, I still have tons of laundry. Can't imagine ever being caught up. Of course I guess if I did laundry every day like I use to, I would be caught up. Oh well.

    1. You are just cleaner than I am! Now that it's just the two of us, I can skip a day or sometimes two... not always though!

  4. fourkidsmom, we do to. Maybe because we live on a farm. My helpmeet, DH, is our laundry man and he does at least one load daily!
