But, but, if I stop playing the martyr role, I wouldn’t know who I was. ;o)
I’d keep the sign, too. Just readjust your view of it. Maybe it could be a reminder to be grateful that you don’t have to wash other people’s dirty socks and poo poo undies for a living! And, I’m talking about people you don’t know…. as I type this I remember there was a place at college that offered wash, dry, fold service.
For college kids? Who go to keg parties and… well, you remember don’t you? Now that is just gross.
Somebody shake up my Etch-A-Sketch brain and help me draw a new picture! hahaha

So often we like to play the martyr roll but we really shouldn’t. As you pointed out look at all we get in return.

That was good, and I can’t help but think your children are sooooo well-cared for and tended to–to the extent a fashion center would be hard-pressed to “turn out” anyone.

I think of outings to stores like Anthropologie and all the wonderful centers of displayed merchandise as trips to the museum. Visual arts of work, and if I play it right, there’s no price of admission to the museum.

This is my first visit - I LOVE this post! It is so true … and I too am enjoying the visual of the tooth fairy and the laundry fairy slugging it out. I look forward to more visits to your blog!

…I’m betting on the laundry fairy. She’s used to getting down and dirty!

Ack! Keep the sign, it’s too cute! It would be a great visual reminder of the wonderful things that we can’t put a price on. You know, the things that cost us our sanity, youth and beauty. And yet we’re so grateful for them that we wouldn’t trade them for anything. Those kids…

I’m enjoying the mental picture of the laundry fairy and the tooth fairy in a knock-down slugfest.

I know there was way more interesting stuff in your post, but I got stuck at Anthroplogie. Oh, how I love Anthropologie. I could wander around for hours just petting all the pretty things that I would buy if they didn’t cost 80 bazillion dollars. The only reason I ever leave is so that I can go pet the pretty things at the flower store, lamp store, and Janie and Jack.
