Now that we're all friends, let's get personal. Today's Small Thing has to do with underwear.
Undies: Do you have enough?
This is an important question, because often, running out of underwear dictates my laundry schedule, whether it's convenient or not. It's never a good thing to hear "MOM! I NEED CLEAN UNDIES!" at 10pm.
Sorry, folks, Laundromat's closed.
Laundry is a big job that has to be done week in and week out. And yet, why do I leave so little time to do it when I know it's inevitable, just like death and taxes? It piles up into mountains until I have to tell the kids to change their underwear by turning it inside out.
For today, our Small Thing will be simple. Do ONE load of laundry, start to finish. From suds to drawers. AND/OR, if you have a basket of unsorted, unfolded crumpled but clean clothes, you may just fold them and put them away. EASY!
POINTS: 30 for one complete load (it can be a small one, you don't have to stuff the washer full!)
BONUS POINTS: 20 for folding a basket that's already been washed
You can do either or both (earn up to 50 points!)
And back to the brief subject of BVD's: Plan to buy enough tighty whitey's per person to last between wash days.
