It is 11:00am and I have just finished folding 4 loads of wash. Laundry is so pointless…. carry to washer, wash, dry, carry upstairs, sort and fold, put away…. repeat daily. UGH. I could be making soap! Or painting! The struggle is real.
Last week, on Saturday night, I looked down at the empty floor in front of the washer and dryer and had a momentary sense of accomplishment. ALL of the dirty wash in the house was washed. Wow, Sarah The Wonder MOM had the laundry under control. Then… I realized that there were 6 people in the house Wearing clothes! And they were going to take them off and put them in the laundry that very night! My stint as WONDER mom lasted about 3 hours. Never-ending- Laundry.
I shouldn’t complain, I once read an article about a family of 8 living off the grid in Texas. That mom washed the clothes for all those people in a bathtub! She had a boat paddle, that she swished the clothes around with. Now that really is a WONDER mom. When I read that, all I could think was thank God for electricty and washing machines! I should be thankful, but sometimes, like today, when I had creative things I wanted to do, Laundry just gets to me. Hence this rant.
Laundry… another reason to look forward to being in heaven. Because THERE WON”T BE ANY! We will be clothed in robes of white.
And what about ironing… Oh don’t get me started.
