:sigh:

The winter, she stinks. In April, she stinks so much. 

Misadventures in Housekeeping

I have tumbled the same load of laundry in the dryer 5 times in 6 days with the goal of de-wrinkling and hanging everything up.

I went to spot mop a sticky stain on the floor and kept right on "mopping" with my foot for about 4 minutes. I didn't stop because I got all the spots. I stopped because my foot was tired. 

I spread out a tarp in the backyard so it could dry and I could fold it and put it away on Saturday. It's Thursday. Guess who has a tarp in her backyard?

I have not retrieved mail from the box at the end of the block in well over a week. 

I've been cursing the same toothpaste splatters on the bathroom mirror for 3 days. 

The refrigerator contains leftover rice that I meant to make into fried rice -- 2 weeks ago. 

I left Scentsy wax in my warmers so long that it now contains more dust than scent. 

The whole family has resorted to picking through the Sock and Underwear Basket every morning for clean undergarments. Drawers and paired socks are for wusses.

(In other news, the Sock and Underwear Basket has been an entity long enough to warrant a proper title. If it lasts much longer it will require its own budget and board of directors.)

In the time it took to compose this post I could have remedied half of the above issues. 

Just Me & My Music

And some wine and some laundry. Miriam is in Albuquerque for spring break. The boys have gone to a Rockies game with Caleb. 

 

I am at home all by my lonesome. Except I'm not really that lonesome. I am doing about 56 loads of laundry and drinking a bottle of wine and enjoying being alone.  I'm also listening to the above referenced album. It's my favorite album (today). 

Last night my house had approximately three times as many children in it as I really want in it. That was exhausting. Today is the day I do a mental detox. This is perfect.
