Mother of Invention

It's Saturday, again. And I am wrestling laundry, again. My morning routine on Saturdays looks like this:

7:00am Kids wake up

7:01am Kids wake me up

7:02am I coerce kids back to sleep or lethargy, usually with warmed milk and screen time

7:45am Everyone gets up and gets dressed, I gather up laundry and start the first load

8:30am Weekly expedition to the gym -- all of us

11:00am Return home, turn the laundry, do the dishes

12:30pm Multi-task between 1) Keeping Kids Alive, and 2) Continue & Finish the Laundry. This step lasts the rest of the day.

Tomorrow, it will be a similar routine, minus the gym and swap in the meal planning and grocery shopping for the laundry. The whole thing seems to take forever, and I am far from rested come Monday morning.

So today, while folding the 73rd piece of small kids' clothing, I had an idea to actually test this little butler invention. Could I figure out how to outsource the weekly chores that are clouding the weekend?

One person to ask -- Katee. She's sharp and knows how to pick good produce. And she tells me she's up for the challenge -- it's a date, June 4th!
