Monday morning I said to Wayne that I needed to do laundry today. He was a little taken back and said, "no you don't, I just did it on Saturday?" He was feeling pretty good about cleaning the house and doing the laundry while I was gone. I said to him, "that was two days ago." ??? was the the look I got. 2 days, 8 of us, that is 16 outfits,
PJs for the boys, and towels. He will never totally get it. And that is OK. That
probably would have really bugged me a few years ago, but not any more. I run this house and I know what goes on. I would hope that nobody else would really know. This is the life I have created for myself and I LOVE it. Yes I could be replaced by Alice (you know form the Brady Bunch), but I do it all in a loving, serving way. When I was a little girl all I wanted to be when I grew up,was a mom. Well all my dreams came true.

I just laughed and laughed when I read this....at least your husband knows how to work the washer!!
a table full of your wildest dreams.
I, on the other hand, NEED ALICE!!! Alan would agree wholeheartedly.
I can't imagine doing laundry for eight people! CRAZY!! I agree men don't really realize all that we do daily to keep a home running properly!
You are an organized and wonderful homemaker Melanie. I'm not surprised that you love it because you're good at it...AND THAT'S A COMPLIMENT!
And then you get to be a Gramma and reap the rewards from all those years of doing laundry.
