Laundry baskets...apparently not just for riding down stairs anymore

So, we have no less than 4 laundry baskets in our home. Said laundry baskets are strategically placed around the house. One is in the laundry room (duh) which? Convenient... if we could ever get off our lazy butts and actually take the dirty clothes downstairs. The others? Well, they are set up to cover basically every corner of our room. One by my side of the bed, one by B's side and one over by the television because in my world having a laundry basket by the television just makes sense. A few months ago, I had this brilliant plan to buy a few really nice trendy wicker hampers that would sit at the end of the bed and we would diligently sort the dirty laundry according to colors. All whites in one hamper, B's darks in one and mine in the last. But alas...brilliant ideas do not often a reality make around here and so we are stuck with the laundry baskets, none of which match. This would be fine except um, we do not actually USE the laundry baskets...actual USE being one of the prerequisites for an item being considered USEFUL. No, our clothes get thrown on the dressers, all over the floor and of course, directly beside the laundry baskets. Last week after doing approximately 10 million (ish) loads of laundry (because spreading clothes around your room is a somewhat similar phenomenon to how you used to spread your food out on your plate when you were a kid so that your parents would allow you to have that dessert or leave the dinner table and go watch the Disney Sunday night movie...when it's spread out, it looks like LESS!) I decreed that from now on we would USE the laundry baskets. And that worked fine until they were full and then the clothes began to pile up again on the dressers and the floor and we would have to shove them off the bed to make room for two adults and two very large dogs to go to sleep. And the reason I am telling you all of this now??? Actually, I have no idea except I have heard that using the laundry basket to carry the laundry downstairs is rather handy at times but I just took all of the laundry OUT of the laundry baskets and then carried it downstairs in three separate trips (one for each basket you see), leaving a trail of socks and underwear through the hall and left the laundry baskets in the bedroom. Because as we all know, I am very intelligent  like that. And then when the laundry was folded and ready to be neatly placed in the laundry baskets to be brought upstairs, I instead gathered it all up, determined to make one trip and hauled it all back upstairs, no longer folded neatly and leaving another nice trail of delicates on my way back to the bedroom. The clean clothes are now piled up nicely on the top of the dresser where the dirty clothes will be tossed over top of them and I will have approximately 10 million (ish) loads of laundry to do again in a few days. Yes, only I would try to make laundry interesting...this is blogging material at its finest people.

Also? I just became nearly hysterical when I could not get the little plastic seal off the tub of Chocolate Fudge Crackle ice cream.

And before I go, you may have noticed the new header courtesy of my little sweetheart Robin and his wonderful mom Donna! I love how, without even meeting Riley, they painted him giving Robin a kiss because that is exactly what Riley does best. (Maggie is the hugger in our family and Riley takes care of the kissing) Thank you so much Robin and Donna...you guys are so sweet and I am truly blessed to know you. You just have no idea.

LOL Berv i swear you could make DYING funny..... just dont do it for a while k?

Now you KNOW everyone is gonna want a pic of you hurtling down the stairs in one of your many laundry baskets.... in fact I may even pay good money too see that!

Just wondering..... is there a window neaer the laundry room that maybe within throwing distance of the bedroom window?

Cause I'm thinkin a HUGE funnel here.... course it might cause the room to flood during the rainy season but just think of how clean your clothes will be while your waitin for Bs friends to come pump out the basement?

And hey your new header pic has the Riley Dog in it PLUS Robaloooo so what more could a person as for right?

I was havin a DULL DULL DULL afternoon Berv.... thanks for giving me the heads up on a much needed chuckle.

Take care..

OMG! YOU have terrible problems with your laundry too?! Welllll .... sorry, I can't be of much help to your there - I'm still looking for the washing machine, which I'll probably find just as soon as I uncover a path to the laundry room - I know it was there last year!

OMG! I am SO flattered that Robin thinks we look so much alike! He certainly knows how to win this grammas heart
Thank you so much for always bringing a smile to my face hun Not ONLY with a sense of humor that I know would have made my dear Dad proud, but also with your endearing words & comments

That's such a GREAT picture of you, the stairs, Robin & Riley

Luv you much hun! Hope you're having a great night
