Midnight Laundry

So I was just taking Andy down to his bed - he fell asleep in my bed tonight because he was scared.  Andy getting scared takes no more then 30 seconds after I have turned off the light and closed the door.  Anyway, I was taking Andy downstairs and then went to get the latest load of laundry out of the dryer.  When I am done with this post I will begin folding clothes.  It is 11 now so I am actually a little early but it occurred to me when I was carrying the basket of clothes up the stairs that I do a lot of laundry folding at midnight.  Sometimes, oft times that is the only time I have to do it. 

We all have things that we don't necessarily enjoy doing, things that if we had a choice we'd simply take a pass.  I don't mind not having to do laundry but it is one of those things that I don't get to take a pass on.  It has to be done.  Life can be pretty exhausting, it can wear you down but there are things that just have to be done and so you pick yourself up and you do them.  People are counting on you.  It's okay to do laundry at midnight.  I feel like I'm giving myself a little pep talk.  Nice work Johnny.  Way to fold that laundry.  You are the man. 

Enjoyed a fabulous 6th grade beginner band concert tonight.  Natty is doing a great job with her flute and I think she really enjoys it.  I am glad for that and hope that she will stay with it.  The concert, well, it was a rough and sometimes painful but there were moments that were good. I especially enjoyed the announcement that the last song was coming up.  Seriously, the concert was hard to take but it is also beginning band with kids that never even touched the instruments before the school year.  Keeping that in mind these guys were fabulous.  There were just a couple of timing issues.   Anyway, it was just the motivation I needed to come home and do laundry... at midnight, after I pull the shoots of bamboo out from under my fingernails.
