Airing My Dirty Laundry

I've spent the better part of my life avoiding that pesky chore known as laundry.

Mom did it for me during my 18 year residence "under their roof" and I even managed to pick an undergraduate location close enough to home to make weekly laundry trips.

Hubby now does all of our laundry.  

I typically try to toss my dirty clothes into (or as close to) the laundry basket as I can, but even if I leave them on the floor, hooked on the footboard or in other random locations they always find their way back to me clean and folded.  He's a good man.

What he doesn't do is put them away.  He makes a nice pile of freshly laundered garments and places them neatly in our bedroom for me to put in drawers and closets.  I'll be completely honest and admit that I typically pick through this pile as if it were my dresser until he "reminds" me to put them away. Again, he's a good man.

I've noticed lately that my return pile is not the heap that it once was.  I found this to be strange, but figured that he had fallen behind on his little chore.  Not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth I didn't question it.  Another week passed and again my large pile of laundry was nowhere to be found.  Instead, I had a small little basket filled with lots of underwear, a pair of shorts, a couple tank tops and a pool coverup.  Strange.

Then the lightbulb went off.  

This is all I wear.

Seriously.

The combination of pregnancy + hot summer + seasonal unemployment = me living in bathing suits and cover-ups with the occasional same pair of shorts and tank tops for big outings...like to Target.  

I'm so stylish!
