I tried to catch the laundry up before I went out of town last week. But, uh… apparently The Hubs was a little overwhelmed. He did feed my kids all weekend. No one suffered traumatic injury. And he washed all the sheets in the house right before I got home, so I got to have clean sheet night without any effort on my part. But I guess the clothes were just too much.
And I’m not judging him. It’s hard having three kids by yourself for days on end. I know, just ask me. And I’ve been home for four days and I’ve barely made a dent in this, because, like I said…kids.
Some of these clothes are clean.
Some of them are not. To tell the difference you must sniff them.
And WHAT have I told you about sniffing toddler underwear? That’s right. We don’t do it. Ever. We rewash. TRUST me on this one, people. Trust me.
If you are feeling superior to me, good for you. You are welcome. I aired my dirty laundry just for you. (See what I did there??)
If you are excited that you aren’t the only one who doesn’t have an immaculate house all the time, tell me something. What’s the household task that kicks your butt on a regular basis?
Hahahaha….Are you sure you weren’t in my house and this article wasn’t about me? Laundry is the one chore I put off as long as I can. And you are absolutely right…NEVER sniff toddler underwear or more than likely you will always be sorry!
I’ve learned the hard way!!
I don’t know how I ever worked full time for years and kept up the house, car, groceries, bills, dogs and cooking???!!! I’m home now since 06′ and there are 3 of us. There are days and even a week or so that I won’t do much and then kick it in high gear and get everything done.. running a home is a daily thing– when I think about hiring help to occassionally help out, I will then just do it myself and know that I’ve saved @ $75. I should pamper myself one day and have someone clean for me;-)
Working moms are amazing. As are single moms. (And moms in general.) But I couldn’t imagine how rough it would be if I was working outside of the home or if I didn’t have Zeb!
haha! i do believe you are at my house, with the exception of it’s just not laundry here, it’s the dishes (no dishwasher, just 4 kids, who are broken when it comes to dishes!) mopping, sweeping, vaccuuming, etc. haha! no mrs. robin you are not alone! i keep saying when these kids all get into school it will get better! #wishfullthinkinghelps! love ya!
I may or may not have washed dishes in our bathtub before. Right after we got married and didn’t have a dishwasher and we both worked all the time. Just dumped them in the tub because there were so many.
Be thankful you don’t have boys. Keeping their bathroom clean is next to impossible. I always thought the ability to “aim” would be helpful…
Oh Cathy. My 5yo pooped ON THE SIDEWALK today. Their bathroom is disgusting. Kids are disgusting.
LAUNDRY AND MASTER BEDROOM ARE TWO THINGS AT MY HOUSE THAT ONLY GET MY ATTENTION WHEN IT IS A MUST!!!!!
Ick I’d have to say the “boys” bathroom….no matter how man times a day I walk in there and clean up the “ring of pee” its still there…it haunts me…it taunts me from other chores as I know its waiting for me. I was so thrilled the day the middle child was out of diapers…now I’ll be thrilled when they can manage to stop peeing on the floor around the toilet and actually make it in.
My kids do have pretty decent aim. It just depends on what they are in the mood for… outside, in the potty or on the floor.
I am not alone!! LOL!! It looks like my laundry room!
That looks like my laundry room. You would think since it only me and hubby I would stay ahead but NO. I finally bought
extra underwear and socks to pull out for him when I haven’t put everything up.
You are my people!
I just want to tell you that…I LOVE YOU!
Laundry never seems to end so I conditioned myself into thinking that if it doesn’t get done today it will still be dirty tomorrow, and that’s when I’ll do it.
There’s never a shortage of dirty clothes here. ONE time since I’ve had kids I had empty hampers and laundry baskets. Everything was clean and put up. It lasted ten minutes.
In our house you can eat off the kitchen floor. As in you can probably find enough remnants of meals past (not made in the kitchen, reheated-hells yes, cooked- not so much. I can’t cook. I’d rather NOT poison my husband…most days) to eat at least one solid meal. I’ve lived in the house two years and mopped the kitchen floor maaaaaaybe twice. I hate mopping the floor. It’s not going to happen.
You are officially my new best friend. Where should I send the broken heart-shaped necklace that reads,”Be-Fri?” or do you want,”St-Ends?”
