Laundry Mountain

Doing laundry for seven people is an overwhelming job. I am continually amazed at how many clothes Mikayla must maintain on a weekly basis. It's SO. MANY. CLOTHES. This evening I went over and helped get kids into bed, then she and I watched a movie together as we sorted and folded the ENORMOUS pile of clothes. (The pile was nearly to my waist as I stood up.) It was nice to be with my sister, and so nice that I could help her with that overwhelming job.

Back to the Old Routine

Because I'm between jobs at the moment, many things have quickly returned to pre-work conditions. Cora has wanted me to take her to school which I've done several times. She, Brick, and Kal also want to come to my house after school, just to play and hang out. Today they were over. We had snacks, played a couple of games, and Cora wanted to draw. She drew this wonderful portrait of the two of us. I'm in red with the bigger head and she is in pink with the smaller head. We are holding hands and we both have exceedingly hairy heads. In fact, while our hair isn't very long, it goes all the way around. I just love this picture, and I just love the small person with me in it. 

Here's to not working (for a bit) and being home!
