Ok i am wrong.







I apparently misunderstood lance on the laundry thing. He was saying he was willing to do the laundry. and i guess i can still buy house stuff just not clothes for the kids. Like the shorts for the boys and some shirts i got at walmart last night. SO I AM SORRY LANCE! and no one realizes my laundry problem , no one could grasp the amount of clothes we own and how the majority of them are dirty! and even after purging huge amounts of clothing to a friend's " breast cancer walk" garage sale, we still have mountains of dirty laundry. I will even let my pride on this go, to make a point , for Lance. I have admitted addictions here before, and now you will see to what extent the clothes buying goes. but i have to say if we have dirty clothes, i just buy new ones. it's true. i have tried to get a grip on this and have succeeded in some ways but it is a habit that is hard to break. It is way more fun to buy new clothes than wash old, dirty ones. and Lance was doing an awesome Job doing the Laundry, but he has been busy doing house/moving stuff, the laundry has fallen behind. I have done some but i admit i wash the same load of laundry multiple times if there is a remote chance it sat too long in the washer. i hate stinky laundry. Ok so you see it here! 6 giant baskets of dirty Laundry, plus 2 tubs and 3 large piles! one time we took all of the dirty clothes to be laundered ,(right after i had thyroid surgery) and there was over 2oo lbs of dirty clothes. so please don't judge me for this! and Lance i am sorry!

*correction* Lance tells me it was over 350 lbs plus the ones his mom took to wash like underwear. * not kosher to send G's to be laundered right? some got mixed in , in the garbage bags and they hung them up!

I would never judge you by your laundry. Please you have seen my apt when it was not clean. Nothing shocks me

What a great husband to help with the laundry! I don't know how you do it, I can hardly keep up with it and only have two kids. It's nice that he would like to have it done before you move, so you don't have to start out catching up on it all once you get there.

Girl, your kids will never care whether or not the laundry is done. You are a fabulous mother. That's all they care about. The laundry will still be there...
BTW: I have loads and loads to do too. I haven't washed but 2 loads since we got back from Disneyland!

You are right, it is much more fun to buy new clothes than was the ones you have!! Julie, I love you! You always have the balls to admit to things the rest of us would never dream about telling! Makes us all feel good to know we aren't the only ones who have struggles and aren't "PERFECT!" You are FABULOUS! I am so glad I get to know you and hang out! If you need help moving or anything, CALL ME - - I am always up for SOMETHING TO DO!!!

I love this line..."I would rather buy new clothes than do laundry..." Pretty sure we'd all like to do that. I just never knew it was an option. Pretty funny that you misunderstood the whole HE was going to the laundry! What a guy.

I think you are doing great Mamma!

I thought i had a lot of laundry. That is so sweet that he helps out so much. I love to buy clothes for my kiddos too,especially for the girls it's just too tempting! I have to tell myself get nothing! But, i always seem to find too good of a deal to pass up. Don't get to down about it. Think of how crazy life is right now for you and your kiddos are still so happy and singing! You're doing something right.

O.K. you have a problem girl! Did you see that Oprah where the lady had to take all the clothes out to the front lawn and sort them? Don't worry, I buy my kids too many clothes too. The problem with me is that I buy the girls new things but I feel bad buying me new things. What gives with that? This summer we are having a purging of clothes. I'm excited. It's good every once in a while!

I think it would be nice to have someone hang up my G's. It would make me feel important! Haha! I don't ever do laundry. Who likes to do laundry except for my friend Brookly. She admitted to feeling like her life was in order as long as the laundy was done... Silly me, I feel like my life is in order when the bills are paid and my boys aren't making a mess everywhere.
