One of the most amazing phenomena of having only two adults in the house is the laundry. Don't jump ahead of me here.... socks still disappear mysteriously, stains don't always get treated as they should, but for the most part, there is less laundry.
Not surprising, I know. But it was a task that used to take me hours in a week, and it had to be maintained. Now, a week's laundry can be knocked out in less than two hours.
What do I do with all this spare time, you ask? I have yet to find the spare time. I am obviously SAVING it..... but I don't know where it is!
My house is empty of everyone except me for the next three days. So I decided to really get some things done. You know, those chores you neglect until they become embarrassing... yep, I was going to mark them off my list.
So I start a couple of small loads of laundry.... thinking, I will be caught back up in NO TIME. And apparently, laundry is something you have to keep practicing to be good at, because I seem to be losing my touch. I started with a load of some delicate items like a swimsuit, a new blouse, you know... stuff like that... and I proceeded to fill the detergent dispenser with fabric softener. Nice. *$^#@
No turning back. It had already started dripping into the washer. I just grabbed the laundry detergent, and I filled up every cup in the dispenser. And then I just slammed it shut. Like that is going to help anything. I will probably have to wash it all again after it finishes, but good grief.
A normal day at my house. I could probably tell you three or four similar stories about myself -- all from today. But that is why God lets us all live in different houses...... :) He takes care of me today and every day. He gives me ENOUGH time. He gives me ENOUGH memory. He gives me every day what is needed for that day. What a miracle! He has a plan.
