Momservation: When everyone is out of socks and underwear some people think it’s time to do laundry. I think it’s time to shop for more socks and underwear.
☺ ☺ ☺
Talking to other moms it always amazes me when I come across those who say they find doing laundry relaxing and satisfying.
A massage is relaxing and satisfying.
A mani/pedi is relaxing and satisfying.
A good cup of coffee is relaxing and satisfying.
Watching a movie with Zach Ephron is relaxing and satisfying (and incredibly hot).
Doing laundry is futile and stinky and boring and disgusting when your family won’t turn their nasty socks right side out or think that skid marks just magically disappear.
I can think of SO many other things I’d rather be doing than laundry. Like getting a root canal.
So on this Laundry Tuesday, to try to transport myself to this mystical state of dirty clothes washing being relaxing and satisfying I decided to link popular fortune cookie sayings with doing laundry. Like adding “in bed” to the end of a fortune cookie message, I thought by adding “when laundry is done” I would find the hope I needed to get through this mundane and exasperating task I’ve been relegated to as Mom. Here goes:
- A big fortune will descend upon you this year when laundry is done.
- Instead of worrying and agonizing, move ahead constructively when laundry is done.
- Your happiness is intertwined with your outlook on life when laundry is done.
- Elegant surroundings will soon be yours when laundry is done.
- Your smile brings happiness to everyone you meet when laundry is done.
- You are broad minded and socially active when laundry is done.
- A new wardrobe brings great joy and change to your life when laundry is done.
- Now these three remain, faith, hope, and love. The greatest of these is love when laundry is done.
- Put your unhappiness aside. Life is beautiful, be happy when laundry is done.
- You will soon be honored by someone you respect when laundry is done.
- Your smile brings happiness to everyone you meet when laundry is done.
- You will live long and enjoy life when laundry is done.
- Love can turn cottage into a golden palace when laundry is done.
- There is a prospect of a thrilling time ahead for you when laundry is done.
- Your wish will come true when laundry is done.
Great because I wish Laundry Tuesday was done.
