You should frame it and put it in your laundry room!! :) Amen to the statement "the dirt comes out better when we let the crud soak.' Sometimes we need to step away from a situation and just let it soak a bit, and soak up more of the Lord in the meantime. I love the picture of the laundry!

I especially like the last line. I've lowered my expectations, much to the delight of my blood pressure. My sinks are atrocious, the bookshelves are dusty, but I am a more relaxed mommy.

I always think my DH is coming home at 6:00 but I'm usually lucky to see him at 7:00. I am so with you about expectations.

My daughter actually surprised me this year and came home with all of her clothes washed already, I only had my sons laundry to sort through but it kind of made me want to feel her forehead because what self respecting teenager does her laundry before she comes home, so her mom doesn't have to do it? I think she is a rare bird that one.....LOL! Thanks for stopping by my site! Blessings Wow that is a serious amount of laundry!
