Laundry.

I know that I should be thankful for the fact that I have all of these wonderful clothes for my family to wear. I know that I should also be thankful for my super cool new washer and dryer. Finally, I know that I should be grateful that my laundry room is on the same level as our bedrooms so I don't have to lug the laundry up and down the stairs.

That being said, I am not feeling very thankful for the 6+ loads of laundry that require my attention today. I've been putting off this job for several days now, and those dirty clothes just keep piling up. Merciless piles of clothes that require sorting, washing, drying, folding, hanging and putting away. And if I don't do them soon, they will only continue to multiply. Like tribbles....

Perhaps I shouldn't have procrastinated about putting laundry away last week. Maybe then the job wouldn't feel quite so daunting? Because if you add the 4 loads of folded clothes stacked oh so neatly in the corner of my bedroom to the 6+ loads that have been sorted in my hallway and laundry room, that's like over 10 (TEN!) loads of clothes that need to be put away. Scary!

So I need to get back to my chore so that tomorrow I can feel thankful again for clothes, washer, dryer and upstairs laundry rooms, and most especially for all the clothes that are clean and finally put away! And as for the clothes that will start to accumulate again as soon as the kids change for bed, well, I don't need to think about them for at least a week...
