My youngest daughter continues to be a source of wonder to
me. This is a photo of her bed.

Tis fairly grim, is it not? So how can a child that messy be
so clean in other ways? I do her laundry, I'm ace at laundry, it is really one
of my best skills. And in 1 week, and I repeat for clarity, 1 week, my child has worn (and I did count and then
write it down so I didn't forget)
11 pairs of pants, 9 pairs of tights, 8 pairs of leggings, 7
pairs of jeans, 7 bras (and you know how sorry I am that it wasn't 6 as I know
some of you are singing along to the 12 days of Christmas)7 t shirts, 6 pairs
of socks, 4 shirts, 2 dresses....
and one skirt.
My argument in days of yore was always that
clothes should be hung up or put away like regular humans but as I am afeared
of the BBD and even more afeared of the BBD during AS levels, I am just washing
whatever is put in the basket, I am fairly certain that most weeks I am re
washing clean clothes but as conversations with BBD scare the bejaysus out of
me, I am letting dirty laundry get clean. If we have a brief 2 minute exchange
of words and there is no eye rolling (her), deep or sharp intakes of breaths (me),
slamming of doors (her), tears (either of us) I just count my blessings and go
on my merry way. If she passes her a levels and goes to uni, we can tidy up and redecorate
