Ugghhh! Laundry

Why is doing the laundry such a chore for me? I always think about doing it, but I push it aside and keep putting it off until it is not only overflowing out of the basket but making it's way out the closet door. So why is this? Is it because whenever I drag it out to sort it, I have a 2 year old and a 1 one year old unsorting it? Is it because when I put a load in it doesn't quickly go into the dryer as soon as it is done, but rather sits and sits until I remember it is in there, and then I have to wash it again, which makes washing take double the time. Maybe it's when I go to fold it that frustrates me, cause you see I have two "helpers" and I end up folding everything over and over again, because for some reason, when you see clothes in the basket it means, scoop them in your arms and just throw them creating a rainfall effect. So you are probably saying, "Well, your kids nap, why not just do it then?" But you see that would interrupt my blogging ;) So here I am rushing to try and get all the laundry done today so we can actually have clothes to wear while we go up to visit Kenny's family this weekend. I don't think jammies would fly for the whole weekend.
I know it's my own fault, so I ask, anybody have any laundry tips? What works for you? How can I get myself motivated?

Tagged!

Wow, I didn't realize I hadn't posted in so long! Probably cause I don't have anything extremely interesting to post about lately. But my good friend Tiffany has tagged me, so Here are 7 things you may not know about me! This is really hard for me so hopefully I can come up with some that are somewhat interesting!

1. I am the biggest procrastinator! Sometimes I try to plan way ahead but I just don't work as efficiently, for some reason putting things off to the last minute helps me work faster and better!

2. My brother ran over my head with a snowmobile when I was three. 'nough said.

3. I like Hannah Montana. It will come on after one of Jackson's shows, and I don't change it and try to convince myself that he is watching it. (An almost three year old little boy watching Hannah Montana?) He does sing the opening song though, and he does know who she is, so maybe he doesn't mind.

4. I love building and making things. Wood, sewing, painting, anything! I just love a project and a challenge. Like seeing something and thinking, "I could make that!" Now if I could just find the time to do it more.

5. I don't like change. My furniture is always in the same place. Growing up, my bed stayed in the same place, the thought of rearranging things made me uneasy. Friends would change there stuff around and I always wondered how they did it!

6. I can drive a tractor, granted it has been awhile, but I was probably in 6th grade when I started baling hay in the summers for my dad.

7. I love Vacations! It doesn't even have to be that far away. Whenever I get back it isn't long before I am ready again. I think a lot of it is being able to be with Kenny everyday when we are on vacation and not having to send him to work. And just leaving a lot of cares behind. My kids are pretty decent travelers too, so they make it easy to go places.

Well there you have it. Hope I didn't bore you all too much. It was really hard to think of things!

Best Friends

Last night I was laying on the couch and Jack came up to me, layed by me and gave me a hug.
Jack: You my dest siend.
Me: I'm your best friend?
Jack: Yes
Me: Oh, thanks Jack you're my best friend too.
Jack: Your welcome.

What a great best friend to have!

October's Gone!

Yeah, I know I am little late but here are pictures from Halloween night. For those of you anticipating what Kenny and I were going to be, our costumes weren't fabulous, but they were still cute. My mom had her wild party, and it was a lot of fun. If you didn't know, my mom loves Halloween, she starts planning her costumes a year in advance and she does some crazy ones! If you don't go to the Halloween party you are disowned from the family. It's okay if you are not there at Christmas, but miss Halloween and you are in trouble!
Jackson is going to have a hard time saying goodbye to Halloween. He says, "It sill Howieween time, mommy". I guess I have to get him excited about turkeys now.
