My Favorite Thing

Want to know what my favorite thing is?

Really?

An empty dryer. No joke.

There is just something so awesome about being able to put that washer load right on in without needing to take anything out of the dryer and transfer it to "the laundry couch". Do you have a laundry couch? You know that place where your clean laundry piles up while you do all the other things besides fold clothes that will be dirty in seconds.

Can I be really honest with you? I mean super duper honest.

Really?

My laundry couch turns into a laundry mountain really fast. Lately you can't even tell there is a couch under there. For real.

It's so bad that the children don't even say things like, "Mom I'm out of underwear." "Mom, I have no shorts in my drawer." Nope, they don't even say it. They just head for Mt. Everest and begin the search and rescue mission.

Want to know the really favorite and best part? My husband works hard all week and then comes home and lets me rest and read while he rallies the troops and unearths the great blue treasure we call a couch.  He's the greatest, simply the greatest.

In fairness to the children, they are fabulous helpers and would do more folding and hanging if I asked. Know why I don't ask? It really makes a cozy place to take a cat nap. I need a lot of those lately. Truth be told, I am just on hiatus from "super motivated motivator" at the moment and it takes waaaaaay less energy to just sleep on the cozy pile than be "super motivated motivator". Who ever said idleness is wickedness has never slept on my laundry couch before!

And now you know way more about me and my laundry than you ever wanted to. At least it's clean!
