Laundry quest vs Olympics


By now you know there isn’t much posting going on here.  We save the daily rants for the Facebook page.  
Besides what is there to talk about lately?  The weather.  The 59 inches of snow that is barreling down on us right now.    
(we love to exaggerate at MOS.)
One would think with this weather we would have all the time in the world to catch up on laundry. Right?  Too cold to go outside AND you’re snowed in.  What else is there to do? We should be folding laundry.  There is no reason for 5 loads to be sitting in baskets waiting to be folded. 
For the love, pull out the iron for the first time in 9 years and flatten out that collar.
It sounds doable, right?
I don’t want to be dramatic about it but the task of staying on top of the laundry pile IS impossible.  Mission freaking impossible.  No, I don’t want to accept this mission.
Mainly because I’m too busy watching the Olympics and pretending that I didn’t listen when the anchor said “Spoiler ALERT!”
The status of Bob Costas' eye is more important to me than matching socks.
It’s the Olympics!!! This only happens every 4 years.
These athletes are in the best shape of their lives and I will happily watch them enjoying my pepperoni pizza and eating off paper plates. It is like an extended Super Bowl party in my house. 
You know what I’ve learned about laundry wait for it, wait for it, I don’t care that it sits crumpled up in baskets for weeks on end collecting dog hair and dust bunnies.

So with this nasty winter weather and wondering if Curling should be an Olympic sport I will continue the great laundry quest. Ketchup stains and snot-covered sleeves screw you.
I got my hands full judging double toe loops and triple axels from the comfort of my couch.

Random thoughts


Pure randomness.  I think that sums up MOS. Right?

We really don’t have anything of importance to say.  If it is on our mind we just blurt it out. We don’t filter or proof read, because who has time for that!

We are too busy thinking about after school snacks, 365 ways to make chicken, Clorox wipes, dirty socks, and who’s going to clean up the toothpaste in the sink.

We’re busy watching Benedict Cumberbatch on Sesame Street.  Ok, LOVE Sherlock on PBS.  LOVE.

And Downton Abbey this season. Can we just talk about that?  Bates, what are you going to do?  It is G-O-O-D!

Sunday nights at my house have turned into Mom Night. 

I write DO NOT DISTURB on my forehead and grab the good Pinot.

I hibernate under the covers for a couple hours watching PBS.  I feel like a big kid. Watching mature television.  Dreaming of a Viking River Cruise.  I think I will take a crack at the 2014 Masterpiece Sweepstakes. A chance to win a 5-day trip for two adults.  YES, adults only! Of course I wouldn’t know how to behave at a Highclere Castle VIP reception. 

Note to self, don’t enter sweepstakes.

I have better things to do with my time like catching up on the latest news about the Velveeta cheese shortage. What are we going to do? I hope everyone got to make their prize winning queso dip for the big game. 

I won’t be able to sleep tonight thinking about the Cheesepocalypse that everyone is talking about.  Hang in there MOS’s there is still Colby Jack and Feta.
