Oh well. At least I was caught up on laundry for seven minutes.

I wear a size 7 1/2
- Denise
- I am a mother of four and wife to Mark. Especially lately, I've found myself having to face a wide assortment of responsibilities I hadn’t anticipated—wearing many hats, some might say, but I prefer to think of shoes (hats mess up your hair). Some shoes I wear more than others, and some I wish I never had to wear again. But I confess I enjoy the wide assortment of shoes in my closet and—much to my husband’s dismay—I never tire of getting new ones. With my two oldest off to college and two younger children who still need my time and attention at home, I'm hoping to realize that if I have to wear so many stinking shoes, then at least maybe I can pull it off in style.
What I Believe

Amazing. I think every home should have a magical wand and take care of it without us knowing. I finally got my washer fixed. It had broken last march...and before the year begun, we got it fixed. 200. Yikes...The good thing about going to get it done all at once, was that. The bad part of doing it as soon as they are empty...they get filled up again! Ohhhh my. Feels good to actually see it cleared up! Nothing like folded stuff. I remember as a child, my mum would get annoyed by me not doing the whole cycle...meaning if I was getting it out of the dryer or from the garden (hung dry) that I would fold it and leave it on top of the machines...she woiuld say....please take it to everyone's bedroom and if possible for the little ones put it away! NOW I UNDERSTAND!
I think this is one of my most favorite posts and oh so true. Kudos on being caught up for seven minutes--the glass is definitely half full. :)
I know laundry seems to be a never-ending task, but I don't mind it unless I get way behind on it. Since I'm at home a lot I'm able to do a load or two a day so it never gets crazy. Of course, I don't iron anything unless absolutely necessary (gasp) so I guess I'm sort of a slacker laundress.
Do John and Sarah ever do laundry? I was just talking to a friend from church who read a book called Parenting Breakthrough (from Deseret Book) and has since taught her two oldest kids (ages 9.5 and 8) to do their own laundry. Interesting no?
Wow! That's impressive. Our washer is broken, too (no spinning). :(
My mom taught us all how to do laundry pretty early on. I'm not sure how old I was, though.
My husband thinks that if he doesn't hear the washing machine going, he's in the wrong house! It's a never ending job!
I love this post!
The photo documentation is what really drives it home. Seven minutes sounds about right for being caught up on laundry, a never-ending job...
One of the blessings of getting older is that this is no longer an issue!.....my laundry is often caught up! Of course, two lowly people don't add up to much laundry!
Ironing is theraputic for me.
Jill--No, I haven't yet taught my two youngest kids (10 and 15) to do the laundry. I probably should. Part of me thinks how un-economical it would be to do many smaller loads instead of fewer large loads. I have, however, started teaching them how to iron! :)
A mother's never-ending battle. Oh how I hate laundry...speaking of which, that is really what I should be doing now instead of surfing the web....oh well...it's not going anywhere, right?
I have dreamed of having a "laundry center" like that. *sigh* how lame is that to dream about a beautiful place to do laundry?
