Ethan’s main “around the house” chore is laundry. However, since he is gone this week, that has been my job. Although, unlike him, who works at getting one, maybe two loads a day done, I tackled it one evening, and got it all done, and haven’t had to worry about it the rest of the week.
However. Just as I was feeling “proud of myself” — for not having to be reminded to do laundry. For coming in the house, after getting off work, and going straight to the hamper and getting laundry going … just a few minutes later, the phone rings.
David: “Whatcha doing?”
Me: “You wouldn’t believe me if I told you”.
David: Well, could you do something for me? Would you go check in my overall back pocket and see if my checkbooks are there?”
Me: “Gulp. Overalls?”
David: “You just put them in the washer, didn’t you?”
It. Figures.
If I would have gone in and done something else — sat down for a bit, played on the computer, ANYTHING …. his checkbooks would have been saved. But. Noooooooo. I couldn’t do that. He thought it was funny, and he wasn’t mad. I can’t win for losing sometimes.
Oh no no no no no. LOL That is THEIR fault. :) Their stuff, in their pockets, makes it THEIR fault. *giggle*

One other thing to think about in all of this, Carolyn….At LEAST it was only checkbooks…I mean, it COULD have as easily been another important piece of paper with irreplaceable information or something….COULD have been an important receipt. A checkbook is NOT really a big deal when you really get down to it.
