VICTORY ~Shouting from the Roof Tops!!!!

The laundry has finally been defeated! For the first time since we arrived home with Ruthie the clothes hampers are EMPTY! I had to record this because it is such a huge mountain. Yesterday I did 9 very full loads. I have been reading big family blogs about laundry and the last big family blog I read was a dear friend of mine and she summed it up referring to her own family, so I am just going to steal it because it fits: we are a big family but we still think we are small.

I am thankful for spring break which has allowed me to focus on all the things I neglected from spending HOURS on Rumor Queen waiting for TA.

I am thankful for clean closets and the discovery that each child used the back of their closets as a dirty hamper OR a place to stash clean clothes.

I am thankful for clean closets, the proper season of clothes hanging in them AND the 7 bags of clothes we are getting rid of and hope they will bless someone else.

I am especially thankful that I am able to do many things with a baby on my hip. And I look forward to the healing that I will have of my shoulder (feels like a rotator cuff tear PAIN) from carrying around the empress.

I love having a large family and I am absolutely overwhelmed. This has been a big jump from 6 to 7, but I am believing that in time I will realize we are a big family and that doing laundry 2 times a week will not cut it!
