The other day we were tidying up in the house...Esther came out of the boys bedroom and said..."When I clean up I like to sing that song from Merry Poppins....A Cupfull of Sugar Makes the Medicine Go Down..." in which she proceeded to sing...I of course told her it was a "spoonfull"...but that just got me thinking...what kinds of things do you do that make a job easier for you? One thing I have been doing lately is Folding the Laundry. It is my habit to do the laundry and then toss it on a chair...until the pile is SO HIGH that it is falling off the chair, and whenever someone walks by and bumps it...clothes fall, and I look at them with the "thanks a lot face"...and tell them to pick it up. I finally get it folded when I cant take it anymore...or when my husband decides he will do it while he watches a show. So with that lengthy detailed story, this is what I have been doing to "make the medicine go down"....
I love the Rachel Ray show. It is on at 10 am every day. I watch no other tv during the day...except for the occasional kid show ( which I dont watch by the way) (do I have A.D.D or what?) Any how...I have a date at 10am every day to watch RR, and to fold my laundry. It is working like a dream people! I get fun ideas for supper, and then I have Eli help me deliver them to the designated Rooms...and then the kids are to put them away. It makes me feel good, because I used to feel so guilty watching a tv program during the day with all that I had to do...but this is total guilt free...so now everyone knows what I do at 10 am everyday :-)

What channel is the Rachel Ray show on? I've never seen it (I'm with you, I never have the tv on for myself during the day, only for the kids sometimes)
Unfortunately I've been letting my laundry build up alot these days. We have HUGE spiders in our lovely basement, and twice when I've done laundry a HUGE spider was within inches of my hands and fell out of the laundry basket..You know how you are about bats? I am that way about spiders..I HATE THEM so chicken me is sort of freaked out about doing laundry now. These spiders look poisonous..big hairy ones...
ACK!!! That is so scary...I am that way about all creepy crawlies!!! I would be very afraid of the laundry room. HEY! I was just looking online at the "lakeside collection" they have some sory of "plug in" device that scares away bugs...worth a try if you have to be around there. The RR show is on channel 12 I think...its right after dr phil...whatever channel he is on...It is channel 2 here...but I am in pa so I dont know if it is the same or not. I just know it is the binghamton 12 channel...hope that helps and that your spiders go away! *shiver*
I love RR too! I also HATE spiders! I fold laundry in the living room and then it's K's job to haul it back upstairs... but I'm usually the one who puts it all away. It's good to have a routine.
I fold my clothes while watching tv also!!! Must run in the family! I also try to get John to take it upstairs. Sometimes he puts it away.
