My bathroom closet shelves aren’t deep enough to fit my towels if I only fold them in half, then half again, then half again like normal people. Therefore, I have to go an extra step and add an extra fold to make them fit. Drives me nuts. If I have six towels washed and dried, I would only have to make 18 folds all together. But since I have that extra fold, I end up doing 24 folds. That’s more effort, more time, more work than I should have to do. The towels will have to wait and be folded another time. If I only had to fold them three times each, I might have just done it right now.

About Me

- I have dedicated all of my time to the welfare, upkeep, control, future, problem solving, compromising, cleanliness, and order to my home, my children, my dog, my two cats, my two fish, and my husband. I have opted to put all my time, sanity, self control, patience, impatience, good grace, and stellar personality into this effort. I am happy to clean, willing to be walked all over, content to attend to my dirty duties, and totally convinced I have the best job in the world. Give or take a couple days.

...while doing the dishes
As a housewife I get excited about some pretty stupid stuff. Like the way I stacked the dishes in the drainer today after I washed them was just magical. It took talent. Only another housewife could truly appreciate how I feel about it.
