Usually I'm much better at getting the laundry done. There are only the two of us and we really don't stack up the dirty clothes that fast, so if I just toss a load in every other morning it's typically a pretty simple thing to conquer.
But twice in the last month I've opened my underwear drawer at 6 in the morning and found not a single clean item to wear under my clothes.
My solution both times this has happened is pretty simple. I get the laundry going and curl back up in bed to wait out the dryer. Which is what I was doing this morning when I woke the ear doctor up on accident. Typically we are pretty isolated sleepers, but this morning we cuddled up together and fell back to sleep in a pile. Just as I was drifting off I thought to myself, "enjoy this Katie...when you have kids these moments will be few and far between"
That was the first time in my life the vision of me being a mother, of us being parents, has really, clearly come to me.
And it was really nice.
But if I'm ever going to be a good mom I'm going to have to get better at the laundry...

hahahaha! I can't count the times Dan has had to wear long underwear in the morning because I forgot to get to it. Or Charlotte has gone to bed wearing a "nightgown" which is one of my T-shirts because all her pajamas are dirty.
I miss the days of only a small amount of laundry to do. I am convinced that each child at least doubles the amount of laundry previously done in the house.
or buy more underwear...
MSmith is a genious. I have enough for an entire week.
Mom Katie sounds good to me.
