Hey Mom, where's my clean clothes?

What a week, I feel like I've been racing all week......and you know it's been a CRAZY week when the laundry that still needs to be folded doesn't contain any clean clothes for the kids to wear to school tomorrow! UGH! I suggested to the kids a few options to consider:

Go in the same clothes they wore today. (Met with looks of horror!)

Go in their underwear....there are clean ones available. (INCREASED looks of horror, followed by gasps, groans and other disgusted sounds)

Go in their bathing suits (This one was met with 100% jubliation from Carson as long as he got to wear flip flops too!)

Wear last years fashions, "everyone's forgotten about them, it'll be seem like a whole new wardrobe to your friends!" (BIG thumbs down from my fashion guru, Karlee)

Other options did include acts of diving, tunneling and frantic digging/throwing/casting aside that may be described as "desperate sorting". I think they both came up with "SOMETHING". I guess they'll survive another day....no one will die of embarrassment tomorrow afterall!

Dang, I was hoping for some more "creative thinking choices"......I really wanted to see what they'd do if they really were out of options! (Not that I'd honestly encourage the underwear scenario!)

I HATE laundry. It cause homes to catch fire. Just tell them you are making sure they still have a home to come to and they need to do their part in wearing the same clothes. LOL

Saving precious water, too.
