Great news, girls! I think we should get points for something we all have to do anyway.
The Laundry!
But we're not going to have to do it ALL today to earn points. In fact, we don't even have to do ANY of it today.
Cheers! Hoorays and Hollers! Big Amens! Tears of Joy! Delirious Disbelief!
POINTS: Oh, I can't tell you about the points yet.
Here's the deal. I will give you until midnight on Saturday to do however many loads you want or need to do for your family. You will need to have the clothes folded and put away in order to get points for each load. You could do a load per day, or be a glutton for punishment and do it all on one day....you pick your poison. But each load needs to be completely done by Saturday night to get the credits. If you started on the week's laundry yesterday, I will give you retro points for it.
I can see it now...tick marks carved into the paint of your Kenmore washer as you keep track of how many you've done.
Can you think of a better way to get out of a mid-month housekeeping/laundry slump? I can't.
POINTS: 15 per finished load: washed, dried, folded or hung up, put away. No straggling socks or renegade T-shirts in the bottom of the basket.
You could really rack up some great points this week, but please use the honor system and wash your own family's clothes. Don't gather the neighbor's dirty laundry or steal clothes from the laundromat. Simply do the clothes and linens in your own household, don't wash items one at a time to make more loads....and enjoy the unlimited points.
