dirty laundry.
our laundry room counter is stacked high with loads of clean laundry--ready to
be [re]tumbled in the dryer for a bit and folded. the dryer already holds one load. i could guess
that there are probably two dirty loads on the floor. i updated my facebook status the other
day that all nine people's laundry was clean and put away. it was true for literally
4 minutes and it's exactly that rarity that made it status worthy.
i'm this weird mixture
of person that is super laid back, but to get something done, i want it 100% the way i
envisioned it done and i want it all the way done. that means i leave lots of projects
sitting, waiting for just the perfect time when i can completely complete it according to
by vision. [read also: annoying, but also extremely satisfying when it does get completed.]
so, if i let the laundry go for a day or two? i must then let it sit until i can get
ALL THE WAY through it.
why do i tell you all these boring things, you ask me?
well, my friends--that would be for accountability. the babes are napping.
the big boys are Lego-ing. i'm going to show you a completely unstaged picture of
my laundry room and then bust a move to get as much done as possible in one hour.
ready? okay--hold on. let me go get a picture....
uh huh. crazy town. will be adding my after picture as soon as i can.
and after! feeling much better!
We shall do it together. [check your phone in a min]
ReplyDeleteinspired. off to put in a load and fold/put away the load that's currently sitting in the dryer.
ReplyDeleteI'm exactly the same way.and I'm doing a marathon of laundry today after the flu has invaded.yay;)
ReplyDeleteI like this post, and our laundry room looks like this often too :-)
ReplyDeletelaundry is my WORST thing! I'd rather buy everyone new clothes then get it done some days! OK, not really, but almost. May the force be with you. :)
ReplyDeleteUhhhh I was just sitting on the computer to avoid laundry and now I feel obligated to fold that load waiting for me......
ReplyDeleteI sometimes wish I had two washers and dryers for my family of four so how do you get by with just one!?
ReplyDeleteGood luck :) We only have three but laundry kills me!
ReplyDeleteYou just inspired me to get my laundry room all cleaned up this weekend. You have an awesome space! :)
ReplyDeleteYou just described me - I'm happy to know I am in good company ;)
ReplyDeleteThat has to be the most amazing laundry room I have ever seen...... tidy and not tidy!!
ReplyDeleteOK...you're now officially my laundry hero! ;-) I "only" have 4 kiddos and I don't think I've ever been that caught up! Love your blue washer BTW...
ReplyDeleteGO you! I am so the same way about getting things done and unfinished projects... LOVE the blue.
ReplyDeleteI would rather do the dishes than LAUNDRY. But... LAWRDYYY If I had that LAUNDRY room!!!! I would LIVE IN THERE! LOLOLOL! :)
ReplyDeleteI am EXACTLY like that with the laundry! I MUST get it all done and put away (for about four minutes...). Great minds think alike!
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed watching your family grow. I know it is not easy to parent kids who are at different stages/ages and you do a great job of it! Thanks for continuing to inspire me...have a blessed Christmas- Deena
Oh my...i feel like doïng laundry too now, but wrong time...dinnertime here now ;)
ReplyDeleteWell one day i hope to have an actual "laundry-room" too, i have my machines in a tiny bathroom, have to sit on the toilet to be able to get stuf out of the waschingmaschine... but at least i have a dryer an washer ;)
Well enjoy the tidyness while it lasts ;)

Thank you. You just put perfectly in words how I've been struggling to describe myself. "i'm this weird mixture
