Good morning
It was a bit of a restless night last night, and both Rob and I are yawning greatly.
This morning's goal is to read together. (school).
And to vedge.
Monday's have somehow become the only day that I can breathe, and catch up with normalcy. So I'm hoping to do that. Along with some laundry.
The kids have gotten old enough that with minor supervision they are doing their own laundry. (I remind them to go check washing machine/dryer). Zeria asked me if they were going to get paid for it, and I informed her "Yes, the payment is clean clothes." She wasn't entirely impressed. *snigger*
It actually works quite well. Rainee takes the clothes out of the dryer. Kaylin climbs up and removes stuff from the washing machine and hands it to Zeria who puts it in the dryer. And Zeria is quite old enough to add soap, and start the machines. For the boys...I start the machines. I can just imagine how much soap they'd put in if that was left unsupervised. *giggles*
Anyhow its working, and its nice to not have it hanging. In regards to our laundry its a family affair. Whoever walks past when the dryer stops has to change it around. Sometimes its me, sometimes its them.
I had a bit of a mental turn around this weekend. And my focus is more back to where it should be. Nothing major, just easier to think.

Oh I live that remark!
Mine ask that too. I tell them they do it because they're part of the mess makers, they'll also be part of the cleaning up. (O.k. so they ARE the mess makers. ROFL)
Right now I do most of the laundry while they are at school but if they are home I'll ask them to move it along. They have been putting their own clothes away for over a year though. Probably this summer they will be even more involved.
