Laundry Nightmares

I have nightmares about the washing machine breaking down.


This is about how much laundry we wash every single day!

The crew folded and put it away in about twenty minutes on this particular day. Most days they dawdle.

My nightmare is that I haven't taught anyone how to help me fold and put away. Must teach them ASAP!

Your daily pile is huge! I will send happy thoughts for a long and prosperous relationship with your washer.

Ugh. I wish I had a crew to fold my laundry. I'm lucky if it makes it to the laundry room... how do you do it? Can I borrow some of your children? Just long enough for them to teach mine that it really ISN'T insane of me to request their help? LOL

How cute are they! Love your helpers.

Laundry is a thorn in my flesh. I don't think I'll ever catch up...EVER.

Can I borrow some of your helpers?!? I have 2 sons~1 is 11 & 1 is 28 months. My 11 year old gives me attitude & my 28 month old is a great helper already but obviously can't fold & put away laundry :) Looks like they've got a great system going ;) I feel your pain though~laundry @ my house is *never-ending*! Happy WW :)

Wow! :) I think I'd have laundry nightmares if I had to look at that pile every day too! :) But at least you've got lots of help with the folding! :)

Wow - that would give me nightmares too! Love the shot of all of them pitching in...even allowing you to take pictures instead of fold :) ha ha!

Hope the washer NEVER breaks down.

This Week

This week, I let a kindergarten kid play with my iPhone to coax him into the tutoring classroom.  I set up a plan for dealing with this ongoing issue and consulted with his mama.  She’s a tough one to get to know, his mama, but I try. This week, I promised two little boys I would pick them up on Friday and take them to my house. This week, on a crazy afternoon, a granny asked me for alcohol and I thought.  I wish!    I could use a swig .  But that's not what she meant.  She was looking for rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide to take care of an injured kid.  A few months ago, we were awkward because we didn't know each other but now the awkwardness is gone and I can’t help but hug her every time I see her. I love that granny.  This week, I dropped off a little girl and shook hands with her father.  His hand was dry, he had a tattoo on his neck and he's just fresh from jail.  He asked how his daughte...

Artistic Expression and Faith

A few days ago, I came across a post called Of Books and Faith written by Beck at Frog and Toad are Still Friends ( The best blog name EVER to my mind.) She writes about how the Christian market is saturated with mediocre books. How few fiction authors there are who really grapple with the messiness of humanity from a Christian perspective. I agree with her whole-heartedly. The Christian life does not come with the lack of conflict and the happily-ever-after resolutions that I find in many books of this genre. It's funny that I came across that post because I had been thinking similar thoughts about another form of Christian expression. Art. Christian art is often either poorly rendered or is just too pretty. It lacks creativity. It doesn't engage the mind. Remember when I made that long trek to Hobby Lobby for stencil supplies? That was where this idea started to form. I spent a few minutes flipping through posters. Flip. Glowing Jesus in a meadow. Flip. Glowing Jesus surr...

Finding Rest: Part Two (Scroll down three posts to read this story from the beginning)

Why share such a personal story ? I share it because I have talked to enough women to know that underneath the makeup and the matching outfits and the small talk that make up our exteriors, we are a broken people. To pretend otherwise creates isolation. Thoughtful honesty creates closer relationships and greater understanding. When we share the way God works in the difficult things of life it encourages first oneself and then others. For some of us, the pieces have been patched and restored and there is wholeness where there was none before. But some of us are walking wounded, barely hanging on and wondering if there is hope. We have a choice. We can either be completely shattered by bitterness, depression and anger or we can lay the fragments before the One who can take the sharp slivers and jagged pieces and create a beautiful, productive life. Here is the conclusion to John's story. When John was ten, he was sullen and moody and difficult and so was I. But I was no longer proud....
