Laundry Goddess

While doing the dishes my Mom counts glasses, silverware, plates, & bowls. Same routine with the laundry. Although with that, it's socks. If there is one single piece missing a frenzy will start. NOTHING can be started till the the poor lost soul is found. As I watched this habit over the years I often thought how utterly nuts she had to be.

Once I moved out on my own & married, I developed these crazy habits (among some of her others). My wonderful husband shared the household chores. I know. Drool all you want. He's mine. Unfortunately, in the beginning of our marriage I had to cut him off. For goodness sake, the man doesn't fold the towels the right way OR do the dishes in the right order!!

When I got pregnant & the morning sickness kicked in, I had to "suffer" through watching him do everything wrong.....or my sick version of wrong. Harmony has finally restored itself in my house. I am no longer knocked up (first time in almost 3 yrs). I can once again become a housework psycho. This time to a lesser degree. At least in my book. The house is not thanking me for it. Trust me. I know that for a fact.

I have 2 lonely habits now. OK, OK 2 major habits. I still have tons of quirks.

When hanging something up, the hanger's hook has to be to the left when looking at the shirt. Is anyone else crazy over this?

My other consumes way too much of my time......the laundry. Everything is washed according to directions. However, I have developed a habit of hanging EVERY last piece of the girls' clothes regardless of what the tag says. I'm so sick of everything shrinking & fading. I nit pick every last piece, looking for stains. I go through a bottle of Shout a week. My darling husband used to wonder where I had run off to. He's finally just accepted he married a freak. I won't let him do the laundry for fear of a spot being missed or a shirt being dried. He's one of those throw everything in & see what pretty new color comes out on your white shirt. Well, not that bad, but in my crazy mind he is. :)

Now you'll know where to find me. Hidden in a mound of laundry that breeds on its own & needs extra special attention from me....The Laundry Goddess.
