You'd think after 4 years here, i would know to always be at the ready for someone to drop in out of the blue. But No. I was caught this aft at my worst. Its laundry day...for most not a huge deal, but here its a large scale production. We havent much of a laundry room so the washing is brought down to the livingroom...sorted and taken back, then brought out sorted folded and taken up by its owner.... well, having a young one, there is also her days mess in the livingroom....and since my washing is being done with the other 4 residents.... you can guess where all my bras are. So, whilst jay is at the kids swimming lessons and im working thru washing, and cooking dinner, with the Twins Hanging where the good Lord and nature left them after nursing three kids... there is a knock at the door. Its only Jays buddy and co-worker Andy, whom can understand the whole scene being a father to three himself...but dear andy has another of jays co-workers in tow.... So here i am standing infront of various piles and stages of washing, amidst Cadies blankets and halloween costumes, and my southerly inclined boobs unholstered....hair pulled tighly back in quick bun, no make up...... SOOO NOT a sight i want Jays friends and co-workers to behold. Im ashamed and humiliated, with only myself to blame...... well, im gonna share the blame! Its the militarys fault too! If those fools would post our asses to Petawawa where we could have a basement where i could have a laundry table, and all the kids CRAP, i wouldnt ever run the risk of people dropping in on an untidy house!!! Sure, im to blame for looking like nothing but a housemaid with saggy tits, But in London our house was always company ready. The kids had a playroom in the basement, all the washing drying sorting and folding was done down there, and taken up by its owner.... so with no kids and no laundry over-taking the livingroom, it was simple to keep clean. Just another reason to want to be posted. We have the STUPIDEST laundry room here, you have to get at the machines without bumping the safty valve of the hot water tank, the furnace is right by the dryer, there isnt room to turn around once you get a basket back there.... i wish i was able to have a table back there.
Oh well..... just had to get that off my chest.
