Laundry day! Are you doing some cleaning today?

A already took a shower this month, so I guess you could say I'm on a cleanliness kick. But I've been wearing the same shorts for the last two weeks or so, so I decided to soak them and then do laundry today. That threw me into a cleaning frenzy, and I think I may vacuum as well. Kitty is shedding like crazy (do cats lose their Summer coats as they grow their Winter coats? I know horses do, but I'm still learning to speak Cat). I'll have some more kitty questions down the road, but that's what I'm up to right now. Are you going to do some cleaning as well today?

Americans seem to be obsessed with doing laundry. There is a post about this nearly every day.

I do love having clean, fresh clothes to wear every day. So laundry is necessary for me.

@akalinus I also have clean fresh clothes every day and I am sure @MALUSE too, but we tend not to talk about laundry, it's part of the household chores.

Our little housekeeper will be here on Thursday. Neither one of us can do the cleaning anymore. :-( Were your shorts able to stand up by themselves? Yes, I'm sure that cats shed as winter approaches; but then I'm a dog person; so I really don't know. :-)

Anna said they shed all year around, but especially in the Spring. I may try the brush on Kitty to help her along.

@LindaOHio She loves it when I pet her, but I haven't tried a brush or a bath yet.

@TheHorse Do you have Netflix? It is about a very dysfunctional screwed up family that has been in the town for 50 years or so. If you do not want whatever you have maybe you should cancel it since you do not watch much.

@TheHorse I didn't really "get" them to do it . . . I'm trying to teach them that chores are just something that we all have to do. These are chores that cannot sit and they can handle these easy chores all by themselves - doesn't take long - no excuses .

@much2say I think it's good when "chores" become a part of a kid's routine. It teaches them some responsibility.

I try to clean everyday at least a little bit. When I had a dog, I used to rub his fur outside with my hand cups and fingers, to take off all of his fur that was going to fall. I brushed my dog with my hands. The dog filled our entire floor with shed.
