Top Ten Tuesday - Doing Laundry


Top ten reasons why I do laundry...

10. um, 'cause it needs to be done. who else is gonna do it?...the kids? ha!
9. I like to wear clean clothes
8. I like to see my kids wearing clean clothes
7. the sense of accomplishment is worth it (mostly)
6. I like it when the kids help me put things away
5. the 'bonuses' for this job are minimal (a penny here and there along with a few silver coins on occasion) but every once in a while I get an extra special bonus....the green stuff....now that's a bonus! cha-ching! who wants to split a gum ball with my earnings??
4. it's fun to see Isabel get excited about her clean clothes. seriously, it's like brand new clothes to her!
3. I like seeing empty dirty clothes bins
2. it's part of my 'job description', and once it's done I feel good about my 'job'.
1. it gives me a chance to weed out the things that need to end their cycle of life in my house (kids clothes that are too small and/or too stained and yucky, as well as old kitchen towels that have seen better days, etc.)

There. My list of reasons to motivate myself to tackle the never-ending pile(s) of laundry. What's on your list today?

I love that you have such a positive outlook for a task that so many people dread. This is a great list.

Some days I enjoy laundry, somthing about that fresh smell. Other days it drags, or I drag.
