Insanity

I temporarily went insane and decided that since I worked a stretch of shifts at the hospital, I would save our laundry until I had a day off.  Typically, when I work a stretch of shifts, I make an attempt to keep up the laundry.  But, this time I had two little voices inside my head (a tall blonde and a slender brunette---you know who you are) saying something like this--- "I only do laundry one day a week...Just do it on Monday."  It sounded so simple.

The laundry was not touched (besides throwing the dirty clothes in the hampers and spot cleaning some items of clothing of the boys') from Thursday until Monday.  This is not even counted as an entire week.  On Monday, I spent the ENTIRE day doing laundry.  Many, Many loads of laundry.  I am not going to tell you how many loads but it was in the double digits. Mountains of laundry.  Sheets, blankets, towels, greasy work clothes, stained jeans, dress clothes from Thanksgiving, scrubs, scrubs, and more scrubs...never ending.

The first half of laundry.

My husband already thinks that I am insane for insisting on washing all of the bed linens once a week.  I have taken Microbiology, I know what lives in our beds.  Not to mention, two boys who sweat and drool all over their pillows and sheets. 

Monday evening when my husband was driving home from work he called me, "What did you do today?"

"Laundry," I responded.

"What else did you do?"

Sigh..."Just laundry."

So, now that I am back in my right mind, I will continue with my daily laundry routine. 

This quote is for you Monday launderers:
