ReplyDeleteLaundry was not big deal.
After:
Wish I had a laundry nanny.
A laundry nanny makes me think of the tooth fairy... one of those things that you hear about but no one ever really sees. :)
ReplyDeleteLaundry - my biggest nemesis!!! I can't remember the last time It was ALL done. It's kind of like that feeling when you are in college - you can never feel like you are ALL done with studying because there is always yes always more to be done :(
