It’s a Kipple Convention
What is it about laundry day that turns my house upside down and inside out? Shouldn’t the ritual gathering of the clothing strewn willy nilly throughout my apartment lead to a tidier environment?
So why is it that instead, the place now looks like the aftermath of a particularly devastating natural disaster? A tsunami of mess, if you will
The laundry tide has receded, leaving behind a debris field comprised of pennies, orphan Barbie shoes, stray Cheerios, scraps of paper, tiny beads, and abandoned ponytail holders in its wake. And wee red and green plastic houses. Monopoly, the game that keeps on giving.
Forget rolling boulders. There is no more sisyphean task than doing housework with small children.

OMG, I was folding laundry today thinking, “how on earth did legos get in here?”
But I guess they’re on every other surface in our house, so why not the dryer?

I HATE laundry. I mean out of all the household tasks that I could be assigned in this apartment, Laundry is the most lauded. I used to LOVE doing laundry, I got to make messy things neat again. That’s just the weird quirk..Kinda like vacuuming. I would never admit to anyone but you I actually like vacuuming. As far as find the wayward barbie paraphinalia and goofy placed legos, I figure it’s par for the course with not so little ones around. Makes me realize I’m lucky enough to have to yell at the top of my lungs to no one in particular “Next time I find this I’m throwing it in the garbage”. I miss liking laundry:(

Laundry, I think is the only reason why I play the lottery.
