Be Careful What You Wish For...

It's finally May and I've had "Spring Fever" for a couple of months now.  I've been wishing for things to get done: clean the basement, dust everything, mop under the washer and dryer, clean out everyone's room, you get the picture.  Some of these things came true by default.  If you've already read a previous post, you know that we are getting our basement cleaned out due to a leaking sump pump.  The rooms are getting cleaned out because we bought new carpet for the whole house and now, tonight, I mopped under the washer because somehow (I did get blamed for it) the hose that runs the washer water to the drain came out of the hole. (Now why in sam hill would I pull the hose out???)  I'm not always proactive about cleaning odd ball areas but I certainly don't create messes for myself!!!  So the floor under my washer is now CLEAN!!  Yeah!  i guess.  I guess I'm going to try not to wish for anything else because in order for it to come true, a semi-disaster has to happen first.  So far no one has been injured or worse, so I'll quit while I'm ahead!!  I'm not even going to wish that the fridge needs cleaned clear underneath the drawers because that would mean that a gallon of milk would need to spring a leak or worse, bar-b-que sauce that goes un-noticed for days.  Ick!!  So I'll just be quiet about that and find the time to wipe it out--hopefully before New Years' Day!! 

Tonight I was doing laundry like I do every Sunday and Shane says, "You're doing laundry again?"  "Uh Yea!  We do have 4 kids."  He has no idea how much laundry one family can produce!!  I only do it twice a week otherwise I could consume my WHOLE week with laundry and I really don't want to do that.  I actually don't mind laundry.  It feels good when it's done and with summer coming, it's only gonna get easier!!  Smaller clothes=less loads and Teagan only wears her swimsuit in the summer and that's easy to wash and if the clothes don't need hung up, I make the kids put them away!!  Easy for me!  And teaches responsibility.  Enough for now, I need to haul the laundry baskets up stairs...-AS
