This morning when I woke up I decided that I was going to get all the laundry done. For the entire last week I had done loads of laundry every day, but had not folded or sorted nor put away anything. As a result, there were at least four fifty gallon tubs of laundry sitting around that had been pawed through by clothes pillaging children. God forbid they put some away without being yelled at to do it. So I rose for the day, ate some toast, have a bracing glass of mellow yellow with ice, and started my adventure of folding...I thought.

On the way to the laundry room I had to pass through the travesty that was my son's room. The biggest room in the house is also the "bunk room" as we call it with a triple bunk and regular bunk in the room. It looked like a bomb went off...and I had the disturbing feeling the puppy had found a poopie spot under the bed. With a sigh, I had the boys who live in that "room" (and I use the term loosely) start to clean it. Did I mention that I use bleach with a venegance? Soon my house smelled like a Clorox factory. It was true that the puppy poo'ed under the bed..it was true that Matthew snuck strawberry pop tarts into his. Both left evidence.

My quest for laundry fullfilment? So close, yet so far away. But on the other side of things, laundry will be there tomorrow I am sure...and the next day and the next....something to look forward too...
