Got all of the clothes, and I mean ALL of them washed that were in the dirty clothes basket. We're talking about seven loads that got washed today, plus the ones that got done yesterday, in the six load amount. I was at the verge of asking everyone to wear their pants and all for a couple of extra days, so's I could catch up.
The thing is, when it's cold out, the clothes take so long to dry outside (if at all) and running the dryer drives up the electric bill so much.
As of this minute, there are still things hanging out on the lines, gathering frost on their uppermost parts. I know the clothespins are frosty, and the towels and all will be stiff in the morning. No matter. I can't bear to run the dryer non-stop, and the 4 clotheslines we have out back work really well.
It's one-day-at-a-time thinking. Just doing as much as I'm able. I read a quote the other day--wish I'd jotted it down. Something about how God doesn't bless things He's not ordained as needing to be done. If that's true, it sure does put a different spin on life, doesn't it? Even housework.
