I am a "laundry-Nazi," I admit it. I want my kids clothes to be stain free every time they wear them. When the clothes (Gymboree only of course) have a stain, no matter how big or small, light or dark, they are retired. They jump from closet status to drawer status, or clothing hell, and they are used strictly for play clothes, never to be worn in public again! Every day I do laundry, and it's the same routine: separate lights, colors, whites, and stains. I then sit on the floor, scrub stains out with a toothbrush and Clorox 2, and separate the stains into my lights, darks, and whites piles. I then put my a selected load into the washer, add Tide and a cupful of Clorox 2(yes, more!) and wash. I am also a laundry fairy, cause I get almost every stain out....As boring as this ritual is, I needed to explain this portion of my day to tell what is next.
I do this routine everyday, I have been married for over 8 years.......And because my husband doesn't do the laundry, because I am afraid he'll fuck it up....he may not have been paying close attention for the last 8 years, it is after all, a short period of time. So....when he returned back from his 2 week absence yesterday, he brought me flowers (beautiful might I add) and had another "surprise" in his suitcase. He promptly pulls out a huge jug of Clorox 2 from his suitcase, with a huge grin on his face, and because I am the Laundry Nazi, I was excited that he brought home such a large jug! (We don't have that size available to us in AK). After my initial excitement of my Clorox 2, I asked him what laundry detergent he used with it. (Yes it matters to me :) What comes next just made my day:
Pete: Isn't that laundry detergent [Clorox 2]
Me: Ummmm....no (laughing)
Pete: Well, what the fuck is it?
me: it's just a laundry booster and stain fighter
Pete: Oh well, that's what I used the whole time....
Me: That's hilarious, you are supposed to use it with detergent.
Pete: Well, whatever, they got clean....
Me: I bet they did (sarcasm)
Pete: Well, Mike used it too, and he didn't know either, so there!
Well played Mr. Browning, you just proved you are a dip shit and so are your friends! Lol, and honey, thank you for the beautiful flowers;)

There's no time line or format, just me. Let me know what you want to read or ask! Sit back, enjoy the ride, and embark on the the Browning adventure.
About Me
- crazychaos
- Let me tell you a little about me. I am one of a kind. I can be your best friends or I can be your worst nightmare. I walk the walk and talk the talk, but sometimes the walk and the talk are fake. That's right, sometimes I can be fake. Why be rude or hurt feelings if you don't have to? It isn't hard to fake liking someone. My mother calls these instances my "Academy Award Performances!" Which brings me to, Yes, Bitch! I am one, I am proud of who I am and have becomes, and it has gotten me everything I've wanted in life. I am a strong woman. I don't like help, and I love being independent. I love my life. It hasn't always been easy, but it has never been boring. My husband still makes me laugh my ass off. He's a good man. I could burn dinner, ruin the laundry, and not clean anything for days, and he would still say I did a good job! A keeper for sure! When our song plays on the radio he texts me the radio station to turn to. He also pisses me off like no one in the world can. I'm a lucky lady! My kids are my world, they make life worth living to the fullest and have forced me to become a better person. It's just awesome being a wife and mother.

Where was he at? cause it may have been my Mike..he doesn't understand the need for pre-treating, or why we have 3 different laundry soaps, fabric softener and dryer sheets (he thinks either would be enough) or why things get separated based on color,child,and dirtiness. men!
