{ laundry }


I'm so sorry to have to expose you to my dirty little secret, 


but for my sanity I think it is a must.

My hope is that by sharing these photo's with you, 


that I will embarrass myself enough to get my a** in gear and

actually do something about it. 


 This is my laundry room, overflowing with clothing that seems to multiply when

the door is closed { thank goodness there's a door }, 


and piled high with clothes that can never seem to find their

way home. This is a space that I just can't seem to get a handle on. 


 It's not the smallest laundry room, but not the

biggest either....just big enough for a huge pile of clothes. 


 I've done my best to organize, I even had my father

build me my nifty little basket storage for everyones baskets...


this actually works quite well, except that like I said

laundry seems to have a problem finding it's way home when it's clean. 


 Every once in a while I get it nice and clean, 


no extra goodies lying around on top of the washer and dryer, 


nothing filling the unused laundry sink, 


 and when it is truly clean like in a magazine,


 then it can be heaven on earth. 


 Alas, this is a rarity, with a family of five, the laundry never ends. 


 I have Papa though, and he really doesn't seem to mind doing laundry near as

much as I hate it....he is our life saver. 


 I have to give him all the credit for staying on top of this chore, but to this

end I feel extremely guilty. What kind of wife am I anyway. 


 I'm so bad. I can get so easily overwhelmed by all

the things that need to be done in my home that I can't even begin. 


 Is anyone else out there like me, or am I just

crazy? I mean come on, the kids closets need to be organized, 


and all the old clothes that don't fit need to be

weeded out, I need to go through the toys and weed them out, 


 I am actually the only one who ever organizes

anything { I'm really quite good at it when I'm motivated }, 


no one cleans like mama cleans { agreed ? }. I guess I'm

just tired of it all....I'm ready to move to a smaller house....


throw out all but 2 days worth of clothing that we just

wash to death....get rid of every toy that sits untouched....


get rid of every kitchen implement that never gets

used...if it gathers dust in my house...it needs to go. 


 I know, I know, that's extreme...but that's pretty much

where I'm at right now. I've completely lost it huh! 


 I feel better already though, ooh, and I think I feel some motivation coming on. 


 I promise to share a worthy picture when I turn my hell into heaven...


wish me luck.

*peace & love*

Carrie


p.s. did I mention that my copious house has not one laundry closet...kooky huh.
