I am going to the fair tomorrow with the kids.....

Only thing I have to wear are the pants I have been wearing for three weeks straight...not a prob...

But a fresh shirt would be good....



I only have 1. Worn off and on for about two weeks

Or

2. Worn off and on for maybe three weeks





Oh, or I have the worn for the last three weeks every night to sleep in short sleeve T.

Where are the laundry fairies?????? WHERE???????

Alaskan, can't you get your kids to do laundry anymore?

 

[Ravynscroft]

Alaskan, if your clothes start walking to the fair without you, it just might be time to think about tossing them into the wash...

 

[drumstick diva]

Maybe Alaskan needs to start - not a fund me but a "Shirt me." campaign.

 

[Ravynscroft]

Wash Me, Please!

Not sure why.... But the kids have been way behind on laundry.... All of this summer vacation has been messing up their work ethic. Crazy town.

I have started cracking the whip... They de-toxified the house earlier this week, and have now started working on the fences and putting up the hardware cloth for the bantam coop.

But clothes.... Eh..... Those have been too low on the list... I had the kids wash a load for spouse... Spouse likes clean clothes... Odd.

Oh, I did bathe this week! So there!

And I brush my teeth so all is good.

Crack the whip on those young'uns - tell them NO OPEN WINDOWS in winter, IF they don't do your laundry NOW!!!!

good gosh that is so very interesting I was only sewing this is really cool
how did you get involved in this you talk volunteer but what lead to this?

Always loved old cemeteries and found that we have an active group in this state, stalked them for a while then finally joined (although you don't have to be a member to do these workshops or any of their events). Yesterday was my first official event. There were so many people from different walks of life - some pre-teens brought by mom, up to people in their 70's. There was even a guy in a motorized wheelchair who was able to get to most sections of the cemetery and was able to clean a few graves all by himself yesterday. The footstone of one of the graves he cleaned was out and leaning against the headstone. That seemed to be the only thing he couldn't do yesterday, and so I did it for him.

Al, when I was in college and didn't have any clean clothes because I was too "busy" (ie lazy/poor) to do laundry, I would wash stuff in the bathroom sink. Just a thought. I'm not sure if you're holding out to eventually teach your kids a lesson, but you might want to consider a covert "load" in the sink.
