A creative laundry solution

If you come to my house, I assure you, you will not see this:



Why? Because I cracked the laundry code? (laundry+jami=rocket science) Washed, dried, folded, hung and put away this laundry?

Nope, I hide this stuff like a decent host. In my family we call this " shuffling s$!t". Exert the effort to move it around, while never actually doing anything with it. My husband thinks I'm "disorganized and lazy", I prefer to think of my self as a "free spirit" with a "relaxed attitude".

But, given the conversations between my husband and I, I started to think there may be a solution other than the "shuffle". Could this be true? I was going to need to give this some thought.

I always do my best thinking at 3am. I lie there in a state of half sleep and let my brain just run with it. Then I fall back to sleep and when I wake up I have usually forgotten the brilliant plan I was sure to set in motion that morning. Not this time.

I did my very best 3am think session and then half dozed until my husband was woken up by his work phone, around 6ish. I then, (assaulted him) told him of my laundry solution.

Disclaimer: Finding solutions to ones domestic shortcomings at 3am may not be as realistic or plausible as one thinks. Hind sight is 20/20. God Bless my long suffering husband.

I figured out a solution to our laundry problem.

Our? Laundry problem. You don't even do my laundry.

Ok, if that's true, (its totally true) then why did you ask me last week what happened to one of your socks I washed?

..................

Anyway, I figured it out. Let's move to a nudist colony.

Think about it, it's better for the enviornment, cheaper because we wouldn't be purchasing clothes, and best of all no laundry!!

....................

No? Really? I happen to think your being a little unreasonable about this.

.....................

Ok, well if you won't compromise then I guess we will do just things your way. The expensive and hard way. So I'm going to need to purchase more clothes and hire an expert to deal with them.

....................

I mean, someone's gotta find that sock

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, I can't be certain that's exactly the way the conversation went. We both may have (actually did) fall right back asleep after the first sentence.

Me- to dream up this conversation, and other ways to completely avoid laundry.

Him- to dream about a clean closet and what life would be like if I couldn't speak.

  1. I thought for sure you'd discovered the holy grail....... thanks for the laugh, and letting me know I'm not the only one that shuffles instead for putting away laundry.
