Charlie and I have been swapping illnesses since before Halloween, but hopefully as of TODAY we’re finally on the mend.

Because of my lack of energy and coughing fits, our house is a Code Red/Level 5 Disaster Area. I’m cleaning like a fiend and trying to catch up on laundry, but the laundry is kicking my butt! There are only three of us living in this house. We wear one outfit per day and maybe wear the same pajamas for a couple of nights. But anyone that could see the massive amount of dirty laundry could easily be convinced that the Duggans stayed here for a week. That’s with me doing a few loads here and there while sick!

I have some theories on how this has happened. Not all of them can be proven, but since when have I needed proof for my conspiracy theories? Here is my list:

(I won’t name specific names to keep from finger-pointing.)

1. We must all use a different towel every day. Maybe two each.
2. Someone thinks that dishtowels are only used once, like paper towels.
3. People are breaking into our house, borrowing our clothes, and then breaking back in to throw the used clothing into the laundry room.
4. Someone is throwing clean clothes into the laundry room to make me suffer.
5. Our parallel universe selves are jumping over into our world and leaving their dirty clothes for me to clean, and then coming back later to collect. I really should check our closets/drawers for duplicate articles of clothing.
6. It is a voodoo curse.

One day my children will do all the laundry and I will pay them handsomely for it. Clearly it will be worth it so that I keep my sanity. Plus, I’ll have more time to guard our house against clothes-borrowing home invaders and parallel selves.
