Green Thumb

I found my green thumb. Well, actually my family did. We can grow laundry. Seriously, how can a family of 4 produce so much laundry in 3 days?

I counted my daughters underware and there were 13 pair. I just did laundry 3 days ago? Yup, she's potty trained...and has been since she was 16 months old.

My son has a sock fetish. Obviously because of my no shoe rule he removes shoes upon entry, coincidentally he removes socks too. For some reason his socks are laced with miracle grow because boy does my dryer like to eat them.

Then there is my Husband....who starts the day off in uniform that gets washed daily because it smells like 'shiP', changes into PT clothes, then after work wears civilian clothes, and the around the house comfy PJ's....WOW!!!

Me? Well lets see, I start with gym clothes about 6 days a week because I gotta at least get my jog on to keep sanity. Then my daily clothes... times 2, because I'm bound to get snot rubbed on my shirt or hosed down if I step too close to the back door, and if I'm lucky by about 22:00 finish the day off with Pajamas. Not so bad.

Oh wait I figured out what species reproduces the quickest....TOWELS. Between all of us this time of year we can max out at 11 showers any one day. That is 11 towels! Summer time, pool...keep counting. They dont dry in this humidity so re-useing them is not an option.

...and this is just the daily stuff we wear. I tallied all 14 kitchen towels were used in 3 days. And bed sheets? If I can re-train the husband to keep food downstars maybe I wont have that pizza roll stain on my cream sheet...that I didn't find til morning!

*Sigh* This dosen't look like a plant. Any good weed killer suggestions?
