The Laundry Fairy no longer works here.

Dear Hubby, C1, C2 and partially C3

For whatever reason, you guys seem to think that there is a laundry fairy that gathers up all of the laundry and washes and puts it all away for you. Guess what, Its ME! and there are a few rules that need to be set.

Hubby, and all C's

I will not empty pockets. Hubby, you are an adult, empty your own pockets. C's minus c3, if you dont want it washed dont leave it there.

I will not turn things righside out. If you take it off inside out and I wash it inside out, you had better double check before you leave for school C3, this does not necessarilay apply. I will warn you before you leave for school cause you are little. Heck, on more than one occasion, I have warn a shirt inside out to the gym. Ask KF. I still check every day when we go into the childcare! Can you belive that people dont ever tell me! I wonder if they just laugh or are they grateful that they checked before they left the house and I didn't?

I will not remove underwear from pants. That is my most hated thing about laundry. I dont know why, but underwear that is still trapped on a pant leg gives me the heebie jeebies, so just cut it out!

Socks, oh my socks, sigh socks, god how I hate socks. Most people who know me know that twice I year I do a sock swap. I take very single sock in the house and throw it away and buy all new socks. And then for that day, every sock in the house matches up! Its such a wonderful feeling! Try it!

Laundry baskets...they are meant for clothes not toys. I hate when I dump it in and I hear a clunk. No one wants to have to dig down through the dirty laundry to the bottom to find the matchbox car or lego or what ever else you thought should go in there. Its for Laundry!

C1, please, oh please, change you underwear once in a while. I dont care if you are having a contest with you BF, its gross. At least dont tell me about it and put clean ones in the laundry so it makes me feel better.

C2, I knit all kinds of cool socks for you. It would be nice, just once in a while to actually have two matching socks in the laundry. I am not sure what you do with them, but because they are personally knit and of many different syles and colors, you cannot match them up with a different pair. Well, I guess you could. You did wear knee hi florescent stripped socks to BB on Saturday. I thought they looked great BTW.

C3. Drapery rods are not for hanging underwear on. I dont even want to know how you get them up there. They belong in the laundry. They do not belong on each and every blade of the ceiling fan. It may look cool, but you can explain to dad why the fan makes such a horrible noise and he has to keep re balancing it. Oh, and if you brothers underwear winds up in your drawer, please do not wear them. he finds that gross.

Hubby, please do not step over the clean, folded, full laundry basket at the bottom of the stairs. It will not walk up there all by itself. If there is a full basket on our bed, please empty it. You do on occasion, but did you know that my dresser drawers actually open. Nothing in there will bite, feel free to put my clothes in the drawer rather than on top of my dresser. I am at a loss for this one!

Now, if we could please just follow these simple rules, It will make my life much happier.

Sincerely,

Management
