Laundry

The chore I put off doing all the time is folding laundry.  I don't know what it is but I just don't like it.  I know life is all about doing things we don't like but that doesn't help.  It's not unusual for me to wash & dry laundry and let it sit in the dryer.  Or have it piled in a laundry basket next in front of the dryer.  It drive The Man nuts.  He hates it.  He doesn't grumble about going to get clean underwear from the dryer (at least he has clean underwear, right?!?!)  He just shakes his head at me.  And the fact that our clothes are wrinkled is my fault. I accept full responsibility for it!

Before he left I asked him if there is anything he'd like me to do or get done while he was gone.  There was only ONE thing he wanted done when he got home.  He asked that ALL the laundry be washed, dried, folded and put away.  The look of pain on my face must have been excruciating cause he laughed at me when I said "Really? That's it?"  

Like most excellent procrastinators I have put it off.  I only washed clothes when I really needed to.  As a result I still have a pile of laundry that needs my attention.  Because I love my husband lots, it will all be washed, dried, folded and put away before he gets home.  If you don't hear from me for awhile, you should come check on me.  I'm probably buried under all the laundry!

What's your least favorite chore?
