I've had a hard time keeping up with the household this week. Laundry, the one thing I think I'm really good about, has piled up. Letting the laundry get behind adds up to too many loads to fold on the same day. Often this means that one load gets left in the dryer to wrinkle for a day or two. We don't even generate that much laundry at this point. I don't know how you ladies manage who have to do three loads every day. Hopefully you've figured out how to get your kids to help. I haven't managed that one yet.
Okay, so here's my thing for today: I've told you how I'm supposed to have a few hours free in the mornings to get some work done, that's reading, studying, writing, bookkeeping, editing, etc. I'm glad to have it. But it turns out that I can't use that time any old way I want.
For some reason, if I don't start in on the housework during my "study time," what my five year old refers to as my "quiet play time," the day probably ain't going to go very well. Somehow I have to jumpstart the dishes and the laundry before 9:00 a.m if anything at all is to be accomplished house-wise that day.
It's annoying. In fact I'm feeling rather irritable about it. But it must be done.
The good news is it's library day, and the reference desk has a book I've requested through Interlibrary loan. And it's a short one.
And this morning, even though I am irritable, I have managed to start the day off right, so there.
