That's what my cats say as they lay on the pile as I fold.

That, and my life-threatening allergies, are why I don't let my cats in the house

Off to over Caffinate myself and start the first load of towels. I like to ease into it with towels.

Do you save the worst for last - the load of white socks? I do.

My worst is the kids clothes. They are all very nearly the same size and there is so very much of them. Love whites. Big uns are Dh, pink heels DD3, purple heels DD2, crazy colors DD1. Knee high, me, and only wear shoes when it's cold or wet.

Oh, I have approximately a billion yellow tomatoes in various stages of ripening in my garden. They are sooooo deliciously sweet, but I can't eat a billion tomatoes.

Yellow spaghetti sauce, anyone?

5'8". MIL is only like, 5'4", but the clothesline posts are like 8 ft tall. Maybe the line sagged a lot for her to reach it when DH was little? But now, the line is wrapped around the top of the post, 8ft up there, and DH says "its not worht stringing the line back up for you to use it once and then get tired of it." (I do that a lot)

You have 2 monkeys, make them string the line for you.

Use the Fannie farmer cookbook edited by Marion Cunningham, recipe for chili sauce. Add firm pears and apples, undercook it and turn it into canned sweet spicy hot fruit salsa. Did it by accident once and it's a great favorite now.

I make the kids do a "scavenger hunt" thru the Mt Washmore pile to find all the whites.
