I'm so sorry your clothes are clean...

Who knew being efficient was a bad thing?

Here is a snip-it of a near daily conversation between Brad and myself...

Brad- " Where are my pajama pants?"
Me- "The ones you left of the floor near the dirty clothes pile? Those are in the drier."
Brad- " Grumble, grumble....darn you and your efficiency!"

Apparently, I should decipher better which clothes amongst the ones strewn about the floor on Brad's side of the bedroom are actually in need of laundering. Forget the fact that the dirty clothes pile is a few feet away, his clothes (other then work clothes) rarely find their way there. But Murphy's Law would take over if I started sorting based on my opinion of what Brad was thinking when he took this clothes off; if I left the PJ pants then he would get a new pair without looking for yesterday's and if I washed them well then he'd want to wear them again.

I wear clothes more then once before I wash them. But I lay those clothes on my dresser- NOT on the floor. The floor is where the dog lays, it is not where I think "clean" clothes go.

Perhaps the answer to my problem is simply that I need to get that load of laundry back upstairs, folded, and put away before Brad gets home from work ( maybe even toss his PJ pants back to the floor clean then pick them up if he chooses a different pair). Or perhaps Brad should remember the days when I sucked at laundry and didn't do it until there was a mountain over taking the basement. Ya know, when he'd have to look the night before to see if he would even have clean clothes for work. Or when the laundry was run but left in a wrinkled pile in the basement and he'd have to make time to tumble them every morning. Yes, he should definitely remember those days!

And seriously Brad, if you really need that one specific pair of PJ pants, then just go get them out of the drier... it isn't like I said they are in the WASHER!
