Laundry can be found in; piles, mounds, baskets, and the good ole trail leading under the bed.

Someone said to me many years ago, “I want to stand my family naked in the living room for an entire afternoon, just so I am caught up on laundry.” I didn’t get it back then, but do now.

Not quite getting the disgust of laundry at a young age, I would venture to the Laundromat with my mother, sister or brother, only because 7-11 was next door. That meant a few hours with candy bars, pop and bubble yum! If only Mom would have realized that we were not on a septic system, like Dad said. Those trips would not be part of my childhood memories.

Gathering your naked family in one room is most likely not an option, but it sure sounds like a slice of coconut crème pie to me. How many clothes does a teen need, an outfit for school, one for after school and one for after nine pm. It causes a lot those piles.

There are things about laundry that drive me nuts; inside out and pocket goods. Well it’s good to be in charge, yet not thrilled at the policing of the cloths, there are some advantages. Pocket pickings, if it’s in there, it becomes mine; there are some valuable lessons in this from time to time. Teens can’t drive if they don’t have a license, and they think twice about that one. Money is the best, take a mason jar, glue the top on it, and cut a hole in the lid, display it near the washing machine and low and behold, in six months time, over sixty dollars may appear. The pocket posse can have a great “mom’s” night out or pamper herself with something else she wants to indulge in.

Inside Out, how long do we have to stand and right the balled up inside out socks, we could be blogging. T-shirts and boxers, I have found will and can be worn inside out, jeans those are a little tougher. I started implementing, the way it goes in, is the way it goes back!

You may not want to display the money jar though; they begin to catch on to that. The inside out is working well, and I am not spending as much time on that task!

With almost 5000 hits since, and two orders for custom sketches, it seems to be going in the right direction. Art is my therapy and I enjoy sharing works in progress. I have been blogging since June 2007, when I started one for the company I work for, and it has become quite an addiction.

One of my favorite subjects to draw is the late great Stevie Ray Vaughan - http://soul-to-soul.com/2007/12/23/stevie-ray-vaughan-pencil-sketch-drawing/. I will be married 20 years this year, and am trying to get my computer illiterate husband into blogging, look out!
