    I hate laundry too. It just seems so pointless. Wash the clothes, fold the clothes, put the clothes away, pick the clothes off the floor and repeat all the steps. It's never ending.

    Yup, I'm getting tired of the snow, but we actually have it pretty good right now. Usually there would still be winter snow on the ground at this time of year, but we've actually had allot of nice days. If it does snow it won't stay long. That's what I keep telling myself anyway. ;)

    LAUNDRY IS NEVER POINTLESS, are you trying to give me a heart attack? I love laundry, those catch up days give you a sense of ACCOMPLISHMENT when you finish, you get beautiful wonderful FRESH smeling towels, oh the SWEET sheets, and the NO STAIN knees on Jetts jeans, the little ugly grease spots on the t-shirts... GONE, the sweat, dirt, grime, slug slime, food stains, GONE sweet laundry haters, please, hate no more. Be proud, be strong, be a busy bee and get those clothes clean! I love America!!
    LOL

    Ohhhh I am good! How are you?
    Ak, I really love clean laundry, I just doooooo
    Some days it takes a bit to get me to start it, but once I get out of my lazy lou spot in my day, I am on a roll!:)
    I have to work this afternoon, and I am going to run down before I start my real shift to the "other" store to check out if it has changed much, I will be starting days on Monday, I kind of want to know. That and I need new jeans, so I will be getting some this weekend! That will be a test, I hate jeans shopping, it never works out for me!:)

    When I was a kid ("a long, long, time ago, in a far, far away land) I used to roll around in my mom's laundry after she brought it in from the outside clothes line. She would always yell at me for that:confused: . It was fresh too but from the clean air and sun...

    I can smell the clothes on the clothes line even now... and it takes me back to a time that I liked. Being loved (a lot), no pressures, peaceful, calm, youth, hmmmmmmmmm.

    I would sneak up when she wasn't looking and just wrap myself in the clothes that were hanging on the line, I especially loved the white sheets... smell so nice... memories, wow...

    If my kids do that, they are going to get it...
    Did I tell you that the kids have no school today? Did I tell you that I got to sleep in? Did I tell you that I woke up to Jett pleading with Davy to help him find his snake? Did I tell you that I popped out of my bed as fast as I could and searched till I found it? LMAO Jett was so upset... hehehehehehehehehe

    You can... nothing says you can't do it now. Hang those clothes line/s and spread your arms and run through them. The kids learn by example... and you will have some grand fun dear.:D :D :D

    Me too, me too. I never got to do that as a child.

    For me the smell of vinegar always reminds me of my childhood. My mom cleaned with vinegar allot and she always used vinegar mixed with water for the dye pills we used when coloring easter eggs. Yup, happy memories. :)

    Childhood was fun. I was one of the truly lucky ones when it came to parents. I was an only child and they were the best parents in the world (in my opinion) I will never stop missing them.

    The one thing I remember that has so stuck with me. The day of my mothers funeral (she died 6 1/2 months after my dad) a friend of mine told me how lucky I was, she said that she didn't think she'd really care when her parents died. I honestly thought that everyone's mom and dad were as great as mine, my naïveté. So the way I look at it is I had my mom and dad for 30 wonderful years, which is better than 60 so-so years.

    Sorry, reminiscing.
