Airing My Clean Laundry
I have a laundry problem. I should make that a more accurate statement...I have a putting-laundry-away problem. I can get it clean, even folded. But it sits around forever after that, because I "don't have time" to do the next step. Then it gets to the point that I have to put it away because my stacks are going to fall over onto the floor or onto Eliana, or Christian runs out of socks in his drawer, or I can't find any pants for myself because they're buried three loads deep in a pile on our bed. Well, today I stood up to my problem and tackled it head on. I put away all the clean clothes I could find (and they were scattered all over, from school room to living room to our room). I was determined especially to put away the clothes that were in our bedroom; they were taking over the bed and the dresser-the top of the dresser, not the inside where they are supposed to go. It took a while, and I felt really motivated and even swept under the dresser, bed, and other furniture in the room. The whole experience was quite satisfactory. Michaela was sweet and kept Eliana entertained while I did this (does this count as home ec?). And when I was done you will not believe what I found in my room! I had forgotten that was there!
