Where Does It Come From?

I decided today that I needed to do laundry. I just did all the laundry Monday, which was not much since we got home from vacation with minimal dirty clothing (I always try and wash it wherever we are so that I may come home and simply put it right away). I gathered together all the clothes and as I was doing so it just magically began to multiply. Kind of like dust bunnies.

I must stress that yesterday when I checked, I barely had half a load. Today? Easily three loads need washing, drying and folding. This is not mathematically possible. I work on logic here on this planet and I cannot make any sense out of this. After all, even in a family of five we simply cannot possibly wear enough in two days to go from no dirty clothes to three loads. I know I sound like a naive newlywed, yet I assure you I have been a full time homemaker and momma for almost 8 years. Yet this a phenomenon that I still cannot figure out.


And can anyone tell me why there were two little pink gloves and one size 3 winter jacket in the hamper in July during a heat wave?

Easy answer - The hamper lives on the floor. The closet is up. It is easier to put a coat in the hamper, down than it is to put it on a hanger and put it in a closet, up. This was the logic as explained to me by my little girl about 27 years ago. No wait, make that ahh, 20 years, how long did she claim to be a mother? Darn, ok maybe 23 years ago. Do you admit to your age or claim to be a baby bride? I am logging off and pretending I didn't write any of this. But I love you. Your nuts didn't fall far from your tree.

Yeah, my boys have been playing with their jackets too. They call themselves, "Cool man" while they run around with baseball caps and jackets on. Crazy! At least they're in the AC when they're doing it!
