MOUNTAINS

There are the low rolling Blue Mountains close to home (part of the Appalachian), the beautiful Green Mountains in Vermont that we visit often and the majestic Rocky Mountains that we are getting to know and simply fell in love with.  But truly on my mind this evening are the mountains of wash that sit before me! 

Tell me sister, how does one keep up with the never ending house chores?  Kitchen, manageable.  Cleaning, got smart and hired someone to help.  But the wash ...

The saying goes it is either in you or its not.  Well managing the wash is not in me.  I vividly remember in college when I was on my own that I did a terrible job doing wash.  I had so much clothing in order to avoid doing wash at all costs. 

Everyone says, do alittle wash every day to keep up with it.  That is just not happening.  My wash routine is this ~ start Saturday morning and try to have everything washed and dried by Sunday early afternoon (usually about four loads total which is not bad).  Then on Sunday night I hunker down infront of the TV, watch one of my favorite shows (The Amazing Race) and fold until my back hurts.  Then I go to bed.  Monday night is put wash away night but it usually fails.  Not tonight ~ I am on a mission!

So I hope this night finds you hunkered in cozy, enjoying the kids and maybe reading a book.  I however am on a mission.  Me vs. the mountains of wash to be put away.  I 'kin do it!
