Ode to my constant friend.....

You greet me in the morning...
with little way of fanfare...


and even in the evening...
you're always still right there.


I put you through hot times,
and warm and cold times too.


you go from one appliance
and then on to number two.


I wish you go away...
that'd leave me without a care...


but if that were to happen
my family would be bare.


The must have blouse of yesteryear
in mixed with boys blue jeans


You're constantly at my side.
forever it does seem.


When the boys have grown and left the house
and I've put up my mommy hat...


I'll be taking Bill and my clothes...
straight to the laundry mat.

(the full service one that is...)


Gotta go...its calling for me!

I'm sending my hamper full of clothes your way :)

I find doing the laundry very satisfying. You get immediate results in clean, fragrant neatly folded piles of clothes. The only part I really don't like is when I have to catch the nicer stuff while it's still damp and hang it all on hangers to dry after it has tumbled for a few minutes. That's a pain.

Doing the laundry is such a morning habit for me. I always have something to wash, fold or to put away. It's consistent :)

Ahhhh, something I am NEVER caught up on! I am about to put a load in the dryer now at 9:28pm. Yawn.

Hope you're doing well!
