the husband - I

Laundry:

I've always said that if it were possible I would install a dryer in our bedroom closet just for him. It would fit if we got rid of his dresser. Why bother having a dresser if you never put your folded clothes in it. He could just have his own personal dryer/dresser. Honestly I'm sick of (and I have pretty much quit, unless I'm in the mood) putting his clothes neatly in his drawers to only find a week later that it looks like a small bomb went off in there.

Last night I folded all the clothes (2 loads) fit them in a laundry basket sorted them out per child and asked him to bring it upstairs and I would put them away. Later I didn't see said basket. He told me (proudly) he put them away. I asked did you hang the boys tops in the closet. "No, why would I do that, I put them in their drawers" My mind reverts to the bomb that has now blown up in their drawer. "Please tell me you didn't put David's shirts in THAT middle drawer". (My mind is racing....that middle drawer that hasn't worked for 3 years, that middle drawer that when you pull it the entire thing crashes to the floor, that middle drawer that I want to super glue shut so I don't find it half in the dresser and half on the floor or skewed in the dresser....THAT MIDDLE DRAWER) "Yeah I put them in the middle drawer, why?" Why indeed! To think like him it's "why not."

This morning I took all my clothes out of our laundry sorter (usually I stick mine in the back of the sorter) and created a new laundry basket for myself in the closet. Last week he went in the sorter, washed and dried all my shirts on super-duper high. Yes they should be preshrunk and that's a whole other post. My husband, he tries which is better than most. I informed him this morning not to wash my clothes or anything (of the childrens) that is originally the color white with something that is say the color blue/black/brown (3 b's). Never, ever.

I hope he listens.
