Well, what is going on in my world? I've covered some of it here: Writing My Life Away and Rendered Praise. If you're truly interested, you can catch up. If you're not, it will save me having to recount it on this blog.I spent most of today sitting in my house reading. I didn't really do anything, except maybe finish putting away almost all the laundry. If you read a bit on any of my blogs, you will find laundry is a problem for me. I seem to have an inordinate amount of laundry. I don't know why. We are clean, but I only do laundry once a week, generally on Saturday. I do sheets, towels, and our clothing. In theory, roughly three loads.
However, it seems Sarah has the most laundry but she's only 9 so I don't see how that can be. Wait, that isn't true. She wears a uniform to school. She changes when she comes in. So, two outfits a day would equal 11 changes of clothes a week. O.k. that could be it. Odd, it never occurred to me until just now. Really, it didn't. Must find a solution to that.
Today I did not do laundry. I had already done most of it earlier in the week. I only had one load of everything so yesterday, I tossed it all in together. I didn't care if there were towels with the undies. They will act as scrub brushes and scour any soil right out. And I only had one load to deal with.
The only thing left to put away is two weeks of sheet sets.
I don't care. I hate sheets.
I've been working on the Ocean Sunset afghan again. I picked up some more yarn earlier this week. (See above blogs). I realized I was short of one color. I was not well enough the last week to work on it but one day this week, and I knew I was short, which acts as a damper. So, I went to JoAnn's and got the yarn and worked on it some last night. This thing is just beautiful and I'm going to be sorry to give it away. Alas, I didn't start it for myself. I realized recently I haven't made myself any crocheted items but dish cloths. Very practical girl, I am. There is something wrong with that. Nah, I just love giving the pretty things to people I love.
So, now I'm off. This post will be short tonight. I'm tired and have some reading to do so I'm ending here. Church tomorrow.
I find it funny how we all do different things with our laundry. I do mine every other day so that it doesn't mount up. I use my tumble drier way more than I should and I iron absolutely everything. Yes, I do mean everything! I HATE ironing too.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy the fact that there is much less of it now. It was a nightmare when the children were all at school. They too wore uniforms so 2 lots of clothes each day. Plus Simon who wore a suit, shirt and tie for school and so also changed when he got home. I had 6 shirts a day for years! With all the towels and bed linen I used to do around 4 loads per day! So glad those day are gone!
LOVE your afghan. Such gorgeous colours.
We are about to head off on holiday for 3 weeks so I will not have much opportunity to catch up on blogs. I will be thinking of you though and hope that you enjoy a pain free few weeks. x
It is gorgeous! Such beautiful colors!
ReplyDeleteI know I've said it before but as soon as the kids could reach the knobs on the machine, they were doing their own laundry. Yes I would supervise, but basically they did their own. Of course my kids sprouted early.
Hope you have a productive week!
Oh I remember the days when the 3 kids were home and all in uniforms - laundry was done on a daily basis to keep it under control and I NEVER had control of the ironing. Now I do and it's rather satisfying to see the basket empty most of the time. I swear that socks multiple and divide - we always seem to have loads - of odd socks! lol The problem with the kids was that often their clothes wouldn't really be dirty,- they probably had worn them less than a day, but they would never hang things up or fold them so they ended up getting washed before they really needed to. I bet they're more careful now they're all doing their own laundry.
