Laundry
The last two times I did a load of darks, I washed:
1. pants
2. shirts
3. socks
4. underwear
5. chapstick (cherry)
6. chapstick (cherry) (organic)
7. a Drumstick wrapper (empty)
8. Swiss Army USB drive
9. a blue pen
The blue pen was the one that would have made me cry if I actually got all that worked up over doing laundry. The only truly sad part was the day before, I *finally* had a chance to buy Holly an outfit. As soon as I got home I washed it so she could wear it the next day. She had it on for approximately two hours before she spit up all over it and it ended up in the laundry again, naturally landing in the wash with the blue pen. Maybe fate is telling me I have really bad taste in baby girl clothes. Maybe Holly is too. Or maybe I should actually check Dave's pockets before throwing his pants in the wash. My only defense is Dave buys pants that have 40,000 pockets and he seems to use every single one of them. Who has the time?

I can totally see Dave using every single pocket....and he probably doesn't even realize it!

You're totally right. When I told him I washed the USB drive, he said "I've been looking for that!"

Hairspray takes ink out of clothes... You know, in case ~ in your spare time ~ you wanted to attempt cleaning everything. Again. :)

I am impressed you sort into darks and colors. I stopped that years ago.

I was thinking the same thing about sorting the laundry, but didn't want to post it in public in case that was really bad form on my part!
I am also impressed at the toughness of the Swiss Army usb drive. I wonder if they are all that rugged or if the whole Swiss Army thing is really all that it is cracked up to be!

OK, so I have been slightly obsessing about this whole laundry business since you posted this, and there is no way I can get all my laundry done in 3 loads. A good week involves 5-6 loads! Is Jenn a superwoman or am I the only one with this problem?
OK, either way, Jenn is still a superwoman!
