Well I certainly didn\u2019t expect to be this absent with my blogging \u2013 have been doing lots of thinking and I also have a book I write stuff in to make notes for future blogs but just have been busy until today\u2026.<\/p>\n
As I was hanging my laundry I thought that seems like such a good blog to write about. I actually don\u2019t mind doing laundry \u2013 I would rather do that than say clean a bathroom (ugh my least favorite thing to do) but I starting thinking about laundry as I was hanging Clark\u2019s underwear \u2013 hahahahah.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m a bit of a nut when it comes to laundry in all truthfulness \u2013 I like to fold my towels a certain way \u2013 and when someone else comes along (let\u2019s just say Clark) and folds them all haphazardly\u00a0then that really throws me off (a disorder I think so) \u2013 I\u2019ve in fact\u00a0refolded towels just because it drives me insane.\u00a0 Now don\u2019t get me wrong I appreciate help but when they are not folded with a three-fold\u00a0they don\u2019t fit in the linen closet then you have to crunch them in.\u00a0 I\u2019ve in fact started rolling the towels I keep in our bathroom closet which is a step for me \u2013 but it\u2019s small and I find they fit more when rolled.<\/p>\n
So back to my initial thoughts \u2013 I only do laundry for Clark, Cooper & I\u00a0 \u2013 once the kids turned 12 they were taught to do their own laundry which is pretty good \u2013 since when they hit their teens and get quirky about what they wear it\u2019s easy for me since they are responsible to keep their own clean. Colton started this trend \u2013 when he was in about Grade 7 he would only wear about 2 pairs of his jeans and I refused to do laundry that often so for safety sake (his life or mine) I introduced him to the wonderful world of laundry.\u00a0 I must have done something right as he separates\u00a0colors, whites & jeans unlike his sister who just rams as much into the washer as humanly\u00a0possible so his load consumption is much less. Which really is good for Clark & I as it\u2019s less wear & tear on the machines & water bill\u2026.little does she realize her clothes really don\u2019t get that cleaning they could be.\u00a0 YES I\u2019ve told her this but she hasn\u2019t come to the point in her life to realize Mom does know some things! Cooper \u2013 well he\u2019s still riding the gravy train \u2013 but I\u2019m going to take a guess and say he\u2019ll be like Chloe \u2013 ram-a-lama ding-dong as much as he can get into the machine \u2013 and then probably forget he\u2019s doing it until I find the stinking clothes in the washer \u2013 YUCK!!<\/p>\n
I have Clark trained \u2013 only in the last year \u2013 to bring his laundry to the laundry room and I\u2019ll clean & put away.\u00a0 He likes to pile his clothes beside the bed.\u00a0 Yes I knew this trait when I met him \u2013 first time I seen his room when we first started going out I was left waiting in the hall (with the door closed) as he bashed & crashed around and finally opened it up to welcome me in.\u00a0 I looked around \u2013 it was tidy\u2026too tidy \u2013 so me being me \u2013 I opened the closet to his horror and found a mountain of laundry in the bottom.\u00a0 Anyways he likes to pile beside the bed \u2013 and sift through between work & good clothes.\u00a0 He\u2019s good that way \u2013 wears his clothes for more than one day but before I\u2019d come along & pack them all away only his hear him yell \u2013 those were clean!!!\u00a0 Now when he\u2019s ready he brings them to me \u2013 great system.<\/p>\n
Quite a while ago as I\u2019m folding boy clothes I questioned whether they even pay attention to the fact underwear is inside or outside\u2026because it seems when they peel it off it\u2019s a jumbled mess and I\u2019m constantly unfolding to make it right side out. Now since I don\u2019t work I have more time on my hands which can be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it \u2013 but I decided I would test my theory that really they don\u2019t care \u2013 they being Clark.\u00a0 A couple of nights ago he came downstairs in his undies after a shower & I couldn\u2019t help but notice the writing on the outside of his underwear and snickered to myself \u2013 nope doesn\u2019t care \u2013 inside or out.\u00a0 OR he\u2019s really getting his wear out of them and turning them inside out after wearing them the proper way!!!!<\/p>\n
Cheers,<\/p>\n
