That seems so strange, but instead of tackling some big project or going somewhere we all just did nothing. Well my boys spent most of the day doing homework (typical Sunday) but the rest of us just sat around, except for trying to finish the laundry.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been on a quest to catch up on laundry this weekend. I&#8217;ve done 19 loads over the past few days. Not only was it our regular laundry, I decided to wash all the sheets and towels. And I decided to finally wash all the sweaters and delicates that can&#8217;t go in the dryer.<\/p>\n<p>And of course because I decided to wash all the sheets, someone will wet the bed today. That&#8217;s just how life works.<\/p>\n<p>It is almost all folded and put away. Almost.<\/p>\n<p>I have this strange fantasy that one day I will locate all the missing socks and create matches. This will never happen, but I continue to press on searching the house for strays and putting the extras in our sock bag. I have no idea how much time I&#8217;ve spent on single socks, but I&#8217;m sure it is far too much.<\/p>\n<p>The kids got to talk to Commander for a long time today.
