Once I remember a mom of five telling me that she did a load of laundry every day. At the time, I didn't have any children and I was horrified! I couldn't imagine having that much laundry to do. Well, guess what? I am now that woman! I don't even have five kids and I am that woman! Having one big laundry day is inconceivable for me in this season of life, so I try to do one load per day (Monday through Thursday). Since we use cloth diapers, I also have diapers to wash every day and half or so. That's a lot of drier use! I thought we could save some money and energy by having a clothesline. I found this
clothesline at Wal-Mart for $9. It actually turned out to be free for us, since we had a gift card from trading in our American Express points! Plus, to avoid paying for shipping, I had it shipped to the store. My husband put it up for me yesterday. Clearly, I am not hanging today's dark wash out on the line because of the thunderstorms. I admit it was not exactly a brilliant idea to install a clothesline during hurricane season in New Orleans!
Life is a circle. You grew up with clothes hanging on a line. Remember to keep a low line for the helpers.
ReplyDeleteI love hanging my cloth diapers out to dry! The sun is so fabulous for getting out the blueberry stains Eli is producing these days! :)
