Laundry, laundry and more laundry. never do all the laundry in one day. I have been washing clothes, bath towels, sheets and kitchen rags since 9 this morning. The last load is in the dryer now.

My son wolfed down his dinner tonight and then got seconds and wolfed that down just as fast. Then went to the kitchen sink and throw up. YUCKS! Then...

I feel like I do laundry all the time...it is relentless.

For some strange reason, my kids really seem to eat three times there weight in food right before being violently ill, too. I wonder if it has some biological motivation. At the very least, like you it stops me from eating the food.

again and again
until now.
Until now

Well, congratulations to your daughter on her new job. I do understand that working for UPS is fabulous ... I have known a few people who did and they made very good money but they worked their butts off!

Do you really like stale oreos? smile
suzy_kabloozy:
I kinda like stale oreos, too ... really any stale hard cookies that have been softened with age. I thought I was the only one and I have certainly never discussed this topic before. So when is the next chapter? smile

I had a great time visiting WashingtonDC yesterday. I think everyone including the children had a good time. I really liked the FDR Memorial with it's Dakota Red Grantie rocks and moving water. I could have spent the whole day just sitting there reading all the quotes from FDR that are engraved in the stone.

Here's one I scribbled down on the back of the...

i love to throw stuff out too. i generally do not miss it later.

i think winter underwear is a very old thing. or something specific to places like minnesota. i dont know. i think i have seen it referenced in other literature. i have always imagined it as very wooly long underwear. like long johns.

yes, i seem to remember in the story i'm thinking of the author talked about how her winter underwear used to have small animals printed on them but that now they had worn away.

Aw, have a good trip with your son.
