Teleport To The Free Market

Teleport To The Free Market

He was in a recliner. On one side was a giant stuffed gorilla and a gigantic fluffy dog on the other. He threw them violently to the floor but remained seated. "This is nice. I like that this seat has cookies and lemonade. Now I have to swim. I'll have to use my swimming suit." He brought the invisible cookie [...]

14 Places To Hide Dirty Laundry!

14 Places To Hide Dirty Laundry!

I wonder what it's like to do laundry in a home where all of the dirty clothes are in a designated location. I think it's called a hamper. Maybe some people are more familiar with the term laundry basket. Here in my family we like to play a little game called "Hide & Go Seek [...]

The laundry needed to be done and I was not motivated. Me: [...]

Mom’s “day off”

I didn't go to work today. In my world that means I didn't report to my "official" place of employment but replaced those labor hours with things that desperately needed to be done at home.
