The other day, the girls seemed to be fairly occupied playing in the living room, so Jayson and I went upstairs to the bedroom to... put away laundry. Come on. Get your mind out of the gutter. This is a family blog.
The laundry situation is pretty chaotic around here. Jayson does not do laundry. He does pretty much everything else, but laundry is one thing he won't do. Mine is bathrooms, and I think that's a fair trade. We average about four to five loads of laundry per week. I try to do a couple loads during the week, the rest on Saturday, and then fold on Sunday. Sometimes it gets put away into drawers immediately, sometimes it sits in the baskets for a while. So, we had a couple baskets that had been sitting awhile that needed to be put away.
One bonus of putting the clothes away is that I found the missing Roku remote in the bottom of my basket. I had been folding clothes on Thursday night and I'm pretty sure that's when Charlie put it in there. Missing remotes are something that enrages me, so I was pretty happy to finally find it on Sunday. After it had been missing for less than a day, I was already telling Jayson that I was going to order a new one, but luckily Lydia reminded me we could watch Netflix on the Wii and I didn't have any shows in my Hulu queue, so I calmed down a bit and decided to wait a few days, like Jayson suggested.
So, on Sunday evening as we folded clothes, we could hear Lydia and Audrey chattering away, but Charlie was mysteriously quiet. Jayson yelled downstairs, "Hey, Lydia, what is Charlie doing?" Then we heard Lydia let out a loud sigh and scold, "Mommy. I don't know WHY you leave your things out where you KNOW Charlie can get them. UGH!" Jayson peeked downstairs and yelled back up to me, "You need to get down here." I went downstairs to see Charlie happily spreading the quizzes and tests of three of my classes all over the living room floor. She seemed pretty proud of herself. I apologized to Lydia and promised it wouldn't happen again.
