"If you spend the majority of your days in the company of babies, toddlers, tweens or teens, then your happiness will be directly proportional to your ability to laugh often and enjoy the chaos. The child-rearing years, in particular, are meant to be hectic, playful, and fun!"

7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess-Chapter 2 Day 3


Day 3 

I'm starting to realize I'm really going to have to be proactive with my laundry this month.  I'm not a proactive person by nature, so this may be a bit of a stretch.  I will definitely need to think ahead and make sure our 7 items are laundered in preparation for the next day.  We've already encountered one incidence of Brad drying his sweatshirt on the dash of the van while cranking the heat on high.

And speaking of Brad, he really has the harder path.  I mean his job requires business attire.  He is required to look professional on a daily basis.  God bless him for agreeing to partake in this experiment.  I'm starting to feel like I really should have given him some parameters to include more items in his wardrobe.

Two other observations I've made:
  1.  Purchasing a white winter coat even if it was cheap was not very smart.  After all, I have 5 kids, some of which can't resist wiping their paws & faces on me.
  2. Why did I pick 2 items out of my 7 that require "Dry flat"?  And why do I even own these items? Hmmm....

One thing I do know is in this bitter cold my Grey MJ pants and Huskies Hoodie feels heavenly!  I am so thankfully for a warm house no matter what is in my wardrobe right now.
