A Day Late

The thing with having a teenager home for the summer, instead of in school, is that he sleeps in - to all hours. Since it's the first week of summer vacation, I haven't yet decided what time he should be getting up, so I've been letting him sleep until 10:30 or 11:00 - not so late in teenager world, I'm sure, but still late. On an ordinary day it wouldn't be that big a deal, but Mondays (yesterday) it really causes me problems.

The big problem is that Monday is laundry day. I need to get the laundry sorted and started fairly early in the morning and keep it going, so I can get everything washed, dried, folded, and put away by the end of the day. Now, when I have a teenager still in bed, that means I don't have his laundry, so I can't get the laundry going until much later in the day. So, the last load was still in the dryer when we went to bed last night. All the clothes I usually fold on Monday night didn't get folded until today. (Why is spellcheck telling me that didn't is spelled wrong?)

Yes, it all got done, but I just feel behind now.

  1. When my daughter was home, I would get her up at 9:30 am. Really early by teenager standards I'm sure, but I had stuff to do and I had stuff for her to do. I'm a morning person though, and I guess most teenagers aren't.
