Laundry – a dirty word

I have never been a fan of laundry, just one of those necessary evils in life. But I have some theories about where all that laundry comes from. You see there are days when I am sure there is more laundry then we actually have clothes in our closets when they are all clean. Therefore, there must be some hanky panky going on in that laundry hamper in the dark (they multiply) or else someone is putting more then their share in the pile. I also believe that socks have a mind of their own and do not like to be in pairs. I think I have come up with a solution or at least one that mostly works. I buy each person in my house a dozen of the exact same pairs of socks. This way, when one leaves on a hike, then it does not matter as there are many others there to fill in until the offending gad about comes home. I still would like to know why the sock makers make the tops of socks longer lasting then the bottoms, but that’s a whole other subject. So once again I am waiting for a laundry load to finish so I can pop in the next one. You know, I am only doing laundry for 4 people now instead of 5 and it seems there is more and not less…. hmmm…. I have to do this washing at least twice a week as we don’t have enough clothes to last us more then about 4 or 5 days so maybe the neighbors are sneaking in their clothes and somehow spiriting them away before I get to fold them out of the dryer. I am most grateful for one thing though, we have a washer and dryer in our home. I hated it when we had to go to laundry mats. You spent so much time just sitting there and then there was all the protocol and hunting for that perfect dryer that would not turn your clothes into a crispy critter…. One reason I am looking forward to Heaven… no clothes.
