I have a GIGANTIC pile of laundry to deal with too, nuggetrn, cabgirl. All of my clothes have not been dealt with for an embarassingly long amount of time. Laundry/clothes is the hardest thing for MH and I to stay on top of. Inevitably, our bedroom and closet are strewn with piles of our clothing. Does anybody have any good systems for staying on top of it they'd recommend?
Piles of dirty or clean clothes? We are lucky in that we have a master suite type situation, which includes our washer and dryer, so it's really easy for me. But for anyone else...just one load at a time? I also usually do it all on weekends.

We have a hamper in our room plus two laundry baskets under our washer and dryer (DH built a stand for our front loaders). This doesn't help laundry get done any faster, but it helps us keep on top of sorting things so it's one less step to do when we actually get around to doing the laundry.

This is the problem - they are all mixed together. Some things have been worn once but aren't dirty and don't need to be washed. More baskets, I guess. everywhere.

Well if you don't intend to wash it, hang it back up right away when you take it off. And keep a laundry basket in your room for the actual dirty stuff.

You are making too much sense
It's easier said than done. I often leave worn-but-not-dirty clothes sit in a pile on my cedar chest at the end of the bed.

I have cinnamon rolls in the oven. I rolled the dough too thin and/or rolled it up too tightly because I ended up with 20 mini rolls instead of 10 normal size. But whatevs. They still look delicious. A cinnamon roll is a cinnamon roll. I also made cookies last night. My goal of eating healthy is going really well!
Today I have laundry, dishes, and grocery shopping. After we eat I am sending DH and DS out in the yard so they aren't under my feet.

Are you inside my brain? I was about to say the exact same thing.
Today is a day to remember & honor those who died fighting for your freedom. There's nothing "happy" about it.
I definitely get your point. But that's not to say there's nothing happy about it. While people do forget the significance of the day, to remember and honor those who gave it all is to celebrate their lives.
I must respectfully disagree. It's not really a day to celebrate their lives, it's a day to mourn their loss. It's a somber day. That's not to say you have to sit around being sad all day. I just think it's disrespectful to give a cheery "Happy Memorial Day!" These are not my words (they are from a Vet), but they sum up how I feel:
"Memorial Day is set aside for remembering those that died while serving their country. It is not a happy day. It is a day of rememberance of comrades, friends, and family members who have fallen in service to their country. Never wish anyone a Happy Memorial Day. If you can't think of something more appropriate to say, simply say nothing. We understand and respect your silence much more than your cheery well wishes."

feel better soon, shemarie82! I'm Canadian so like kellybenelly83 I was working this morning. I'm eating pizza for lunch now and will likely crack a hard cider with dinner later (I'd do it now but I have to work again this afternoon).
"Happy Memorial Day!" is a bizarre sentiment, in my opinion - if you're considering the actual meaning of the day, and not the fact that it's just a three day weekend for a lot of people. I'm pretty sure most of the people (mainly customers at work) who wished me a happy Memorial Day or told me to "have a good holiday" were thinking of barbecues and family get-togethers. But maybe I'm wrong, and other people just have a different take on the day, or what memorializing should mean.
Hi everyone! I went for a run this morning with my dog, and now she is wiped out and sleeping on the couch. DH slept in till 10:30 but he's been helping out around the house since he got up and even made me breakfast after my run! Now we're just lounging around, watching Happy Gilmore on TV.
Unfortunately, I have to go in to work for just an hour or so this afternoon to take care of my cell cultures. The joys of being a scientist...

I went grocery shopping alone and the store was dead which was lovely. I stayed in town rather than going to the bigger stores which was the right choice because traffic is ridiculous. Highway and back road "short cuts" basically like a parking lot with people trying to leave. 36 more days until moving day!
TheEleventhHour - I'm jealous of your grocery store experience. My store is in the middle of renovations. Both out of towners and locals were wandering around completely lost.
I also got a call into on-call line while in the middle of the store. I loved the grumpy old women glaring at me as I tried to push my cart out of the way to talk on the phone.
