I just copied this ABC Quiz from a link I saw on DadGoneMad.com, a girl who left this comment (censored slightly):
A Letter to my Laundry:
Dear Laundry, Quit multiplying every single time I turn off the light g**dammit. I swear to G*d, last week I had you down to nothing...NOTHING! But this week there is a 6 foot (and growing) pile in my room, flowing like a cotton river out the door and into the hall. WHAT THE H*LL??? Stop it. Just stop it. Thank you. Kristine
Man, I just said the same thing today! How do I all of a sudden have two loads EVERY DANG DAY!?!
It's time to get a little interactive with the ABC Quiz...whatayasay? In case you don't know how to do this, click on the comments, copy (Ctrl+c) and paste (Ctrl + v) this quiz into the comment box and type your own answers over mine. Then visitors to my blog can read what you wrote and leave their own info! C'mon, it'll be fun!

sorry but i'm not going to take the time to do the ABC quiz but i will comment on the Laundry thing. I have to say that I'm very lucky that I only have to do my laundy. Even though I do like to help Jill at times since it does pile up. Which in away it is understandable, due to the fact that she is pregnant. I feel bad at times because it gets pretty close to being all done then like you all say over night it piles up. So I am very lucky like i said to have myself, where my laundy doesn't multiply as much.
