Let's talk about laundry...

Ok, so you all saw my embarrassing pictures last week of my filthy house.  I'm still embarrassed.  But we are friends right?  You all love me anyway. ;)

Let's just say that even after cleaning top to bottom, my house looks the same, maybe even worse.  It's a competition here, 4:1 and I'm losing!  For the most part I try to let it slide because I know that it doesn't really matter in the eternal scheme of things right?  I don't remember what my house looked like growing up and not  even what my friends houses looked like.  The kids will remember if I spent time with them and hopefully not what the house looked like.

So you know that the majority of the time my house is cluttered.  There may be 1 day a week where I don't have stacks and stacks of laundry waiting to be washed and folded (that's if you come on a good week).  Generally since I work from home I have a few minutes to get up and put laundry in to wash and dry but don't have time to fold it on the spot so it stacks until I find a day or until the stacks are so big we can't get into the pantry and am thus forced to fold.  This weekend we were out of town and I didn't have my Saturday to play catch up.  To top it of it, Kevin just got home from 3 weeks on fire.  So, I have his clothes plus now extra towels etc from him being home.  Now, imagine this scenario....I have 2 baskets with at least 4 loads each stacked on top and a dirty pile next to the washer that is almost as tall as the washer.  (My laundry room is probably only 4 feet by 3 feet).

So here's my embarrassing story for the week.  Kevin had a staff meeting today and they all do pot luck.  He comes walking in the door and yells out, Darren and I need to use the BBQ grill.  I about died.  You have to go through the laundry room to get to the deck where the grill is.  I went running in to move the ginormous stack of clean laundry up on the washer so they can even open the door, all the while apologizing to Darren that he had to see my house and laundry room like this.  I said are you serious?  It is terrible in there.  Kevin reminds me Darren has seen this before when Austin and his daughter were working on a science project together and Austin took them out on the deck.  I said I know, but this is way worse.  I tried to get him to close his eyes but don't think it worked.

Oh well.  We live here, we are real.  Some day when the kids are all gone I'll have a cleaner house and I'll miss all the stacks of laundry and the continuous messes.

Here are a few laundry quotes for ya'll.

Have a blessed day and may your cleaning fairies not neglect their duties as they have at my house.
