A Lesson in Reproduction

So, you know, I have five children...I'm a labor and delivery nurse, you'd think I'd know a smidge 'bout reproduction, no? Well, yeah...you'd think!!

Turns out, I'm stumped about something...just simply cannot figure it out. Hoping maybe someone has some answers for me, I guess...

I'm wondering...

I'm really hoping you have an answer for me...

Do they make birth control for laundry?

I mean, sheesh!! Somethin's gotta give, here! All this laundry fornication has me feeling, a little...dirty. Gosh, to just imagine what's going on behind closed doors, while we sleep...dirty socks doin' the tango, reds cuddlin' up to the jeans (they better not turn them pink!!), darks spooning each other. Ewwww, you know??

*Shudder*...it's almost as bad as picturing your parents "shakin' hands" (if ya know what I mean, *wink, wink*) (oops, okay, sorry I put that picture in your head...)!

You know, I go to bed, caught up on laundry...I wake up and it's doubled. How does that happen? Little A.'s clothes seem especially, um, "loose"...ahem. Geepers, the kid wears the same amount of clothes as everyone else, but somehow he ends up with, like, 32 piles of clothes compared to everyone else's 16 (ahem...yeah, so what? So, I, like, only do laundry when everyone's down to their last pair of unders, so?).

I dunno what to do anymore...this laundry of mine is outta control. I'd love to ship it off to boarding school...or, maybe finishing school is more appropriate...you know, send 'em away, and they'd come back all...finished or something?

Advice...please?

  3. So glad to know I'm not the only one that puts laundry off to the last minute! Ours multiplies too! Today, I had to dry myself after the shower with a hand towel!!! (hmmm, I'm sensing inspiration for a not me monday post...)

  4. We call ours Mount Laundry. My husband's clothes are the ones that seem to procreate the most frequently.

    (Hint: you have to keep the boy clothes and the girl clothes separated!! Most people think that darks and lights is the way to go...NOT SO, my friend! That is how the mountain grows!)

    I started a few new rules that seems to cut down.....SOME.

    1. Unless you get soaked, you wear what you are wearing until after your bath, at which time you will put on your jammies.(I don't care that school uniforms aren't fun! I am not doing double laundry so you can be stylish to watch TV and do homework!)

    2. You wear the same jammies for 1 week.....unless you pee the bed, in which case....please change. And next time, get up and go to the bathroom.(My middle daughter got up one night, walked into the bathroom and walked right back out. I was still in the living room, and intrigued. I watched her walk back over to her bed, pull down her pants, and pee on her bed. She seriously thought she was on the toilet. WHAT?!!)

    3. We have designated towels for each person. Each person must use their towel for one week. If your towel smells because you didn't hang it up....tough. Hang it up next time.

    I HATE laundry! HATE IT! Why can the powers that be NOT seem to figure out a way to create a washing machine that ALSO dries!! Why the switching midway???? So inefficient!

    I am SO buying the laundry mesh zipper bags for the socks. That will be my next rule.

Coming soon...

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

Crock-Pot Fajitas

You should probably finish reading this post first...you know...so you know how to make it... But then...STOP! STOP everything, make this, and thank me later! Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story ! And this story ...which, well...is the same story, just told two different ways! ;) So, you can thank her...I guess. Well, in any event...prepare your tastebuds to be tantalized! You'll need this: And, this: You'll also need chicken breasts or steak, but since photographing your "main ingredient" is, like, soooo passe, I've left it out. ( Ahem... ) Just keepin ' up with the times, friend. So...slice up those peppers and onions into cute little strips... And...try your best to not slice up the little fingers that are sneaking away pepper strips... (Lemme just inte
