Well it's week 2 of semester one, and look who has come to visit already.
Aren't I a lucky girl?
If one thing is obvious, it's that whilst I'm good at actually washing and drying clothes (let's not mention that I have the aid of two machines for these steps in the process), I clearly have a problem with finishing the deal. Hence the gremlin that has silently grown it's way back in to the corner of my lounge room.
great.
The thing that sucks the most though is that for some reason, my measure of success is whether I can keep on top of the washing. I mean really - how ridiculous! I can attend uni, work in a hospital for two days a week, cook meals, mother my children and contribute to a meaningful marriage, and yet can go to bed of a night time and mark a giant FAIL next to my name because of a few (or more) baskets of clean clothes.
But am I alone in this? Do you too find you judge yourself by the meager things you can't achieve, all the while forgetting the amazing things you do?
I would love your stories.
The stupid thing is, it would take an hour to fold that washing. And the burden would be lifted.
But I can't like folding.
I need to get some perspective. Or a nudist colony.

We have exactly the same issue at our house- lots and lots and lots of clean clothes in a big (clean) pile in the laundry....I hate laundry!
ReplyDeleteBut- Yeah to you for managing everything on your plate!
Washing is my biggest fail too. I can do the washing, just hate folding it. I have an idea for you though - fold that washing this weekend (I know it's horrible but just force yourself and get it done). THEN. Darcy wears school uniform mostly, so he's easy, but also plan that Tilly will only have 4 - 5 outfits for the week. Add two outfits and some jammies/underwear each. Then just wash that stuff every few days and plan to live out of your washing basket until placement is over. You could get it down to one washing basket. WIN!
ReplyDeleteUM..That is the best idea EVER! Thanks Sarah!
