It’s 7:23 pm, Brinley is howling in her crib for unknown reasons, the two older girls are warring in their bedroom, fighting sleep and each other, and my to-do list has the same thing scrawled on it that’s been there since last week:
Amanda, I enjoy your blog so much. You are so un-smug and un-pretentious and you really do keep it real. It warms me and it makes me smile and wish that I could know you in real life. You are such a lovely mother and I think you’d be a wonderful friend!
Oh gosh! Thank you for sharing that. If I had a blog, I would post a picture of my laundry room so that you could see that it looks exactly the same way. Where is the laundry fairy?
If it would make you feel any better I’d have no problem taking a picture of my bathroom with at least 6 loads of laundry waiting to be cleaned. I doubt it would though :) I am off on Thursday so I want to believe I will get to it on Thursday. Here’s hoping. Love your stories.

Maybe Norma can come and do your laundry for you. : )
I suspect that the laundry fairy we were promised is on strike… or perhaps, she’s hunting down those wayward left socks? My laundry looks like this after the washing. I cannot stand folding it and finding spaces for it in disheveled drawers and closets.
I love your appliances. I keep telling myself if I could get nice appliances that I wouldn’t put off laundry like I do. But I am a liar.

HA! that’s awesome! i laughed out loud when i saw the piles :) we have ALL been there. thanks for reminding us all that we are not alone. if you think your laundry room looks rough…you should’ve seen my bathrooms earlier in the week. i was seriously considering “the hover” just so i didn’t have to touch anything. lol! i know you are tired (and you seriously should be! you live a crazy busy, but awesome family life.). take a break when you need it. then when you are ready; i read somewhere that if you take only 15 minutes/day and set your mind to just one task (a tidy, or washing dishes, etc), you’d be surprised at what you could accomplish. and i can say i think it works! sending you hugs!! you’re my hero mango!! :)
