Momservation: How come the luggage with all the dirty laundry never gets lost?<\/strong><\/div>\n

\u263a\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u263a\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u263a\u00a0<\/p>\n

When we last left our intrepid heroine (that\u2019s me –\u00a0she of motto: \u201cYou want summer? I\u2019ll give you summer dang it!\u201d) she had stopped home long enough to pull the dirty underwear out of suitcases and add fresh ones.<\/p>\n

No time for laundry! No time to grocery shop! No time to shave legs! Wait, more bikini time \u2013 barely<\/em> time to shave legs!<\/p>\n

It was wear the same clothes in your suitcase, throw some ice in the cooler with whatever is left, scrounge some snacks from the bottom of the snack drawer and make sure the sleeping bags, life vests, towels and sunscreen are still in the back of the car.<\/p>\n

And we were off again.<\/p>\n

I said if I could just make it to August 1, when we would finally stay home for a two week rest and recharge before the last big hurrah of the summer \u2013 Washington D.C. for my brother\u2019s Navy retirement ceremony and party (and, of course, sightseeing), I might just survive this non-stop summer of death by recreation.<\/p>\n

However, it just may be Mt. Laundry that spells my doom\u2026<\/p>\n
