Today's prompt: Laundry
GO
I'll be honest, I love doing laundry. I always have. Does that make me crazy? Probably a little bit. But at least hear me out!
Laundry has to get done. It has to be washed and it has to be folded an put away. (Well, I guess you could skip the folding part, but then you have to iron. And ironing is awful. I hate ironing with a burning passion. I intentionally buy clothes that do not have to be ironed. But I digress...)
Life is crazy busy, right? How much time do you have in a day to just sit an relax with your favorite music or TV show on? Might I suggest laundry time? Before I started neglecting my housework to crochet, folding laundry was the only time I had to sit and relax. I would pop in a DVD, sit down in the middle of the bed, and fold. Sometimes I intentionally leave our laundry for a couple days so I have more to fold. Once the little one goes down for a nap, it's mommy's movie time.
Does this make me crazy? Maybe. But moms have to take advantage of any time they can to sit and "relax!"
STOP

Love this post! I don't "hate" doing laundry, either. And I'll keep in mind when I have kids down the road that laundry is one of those handy mom time-out chores. :)
ReplyDeleteVisiting from FMF and yes, I think you're crazy? ;) Not really, I enjoy doing the dishes, so I guess it's just one of those things. I'm with you, I fold clothes while I watch a show after the kids go to bed, but the putting away....ohhhhh, the putting away. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, lovely post, thanks for sharing!!

Ironing is the WORST! ;) The rest of it is alright, I agree. Sometimes even peaceful!
