To All the Moms Waist Deep in Laundry



My husband pulled this video up for me this evening. With four kiddos, my laundry seems like a never-ending pit. Deep. Dark. Huge. Massive. 

I am usually okay with that. I have some good systems, and usually handle it okay. 

But then Fall comes and I need to figure out which long pants fit which kids and there are piles of clothes everywhere, and I'm thinking ... IT NEVER ENDS.

(This is also the first year that the boys aren't wearing the same size pants anymore. Which means I have to try to label them all with letters and stuff.)

(By the way, I really feel that the reason motherhood is such a difficult job is because of the lack of success. There are so many things that you just do over and over and over again -- like the dishes -- that never actually get done.)

This song. Very cool. How many of us feel this way as we sift through the minutia of this world and this life?

You are NOT alone.

And you know me. I will ALWAYS keep it real!



[Chorus]
Fix the car, fix the house, fix the flaws in my self
Its never done, no no
Its never done, no no
Like local construction, its never done


[Verse 2]
Days rollin' by like local construction
The birds interrupt the cat while its packing

I work on it, work at it, work, but it's...

Days rollin' by like local construction
Like one big blue tarpaulin draped over scenery
Work on it, work at it, work, but it's never done, no no


[Chorus]
Fix the car, fix the house, fix the flaws in myself
Its never done
Its never done, no no
Like local construction, its never done
Like local construction, its never done, no no


[Bridge]
I'll forget my manners heading to stammerless
Jackhammers clammering on

[Chorus]
Fix the car, fix the house, fix the flaws in myself
Its never done
Its never done, no no
Like local construction, its never done
Like local construction, its never done, no no

An easy way to label clothing, especially if it will be handed down...
The biggest child's clothing gets one dot, then the next size down gets two dots and continue on down the line. That way as the clothing is past you add the dots so it represents the child that wears the item now.
