Coyote00. I hear you... my kids change a minimum of 3 times per day. On average it's 4 times, and yes I do all the washing. I don't even want to know how many loads of laundry I do per week, hence why EVERYDAY for me IS laundry day. Hang in there love, we only have to do it for 20 or so years :yikes:.

I have sadly discovered that they will wash one outfit at a time as required. Hubby looked and me last night an said "..not to be rude BUT are you ever going to do the laundry....".

So now I have two kids that complain about no clean clothes and a hubby who is not backing me up. Sooooo, after 1 week, I have thrown my hands in the air an have now started on mounds of laundry.

Ok, rant over LOL. That is a small problem in comparison to others problems :-). Pity parties for one are never healthy ;)

The filling tasted great, and it's got a sweetened sour cream topping which gets baked on later.

When I met DH (at 20) he barely knew how to do laundry. I've pretty much did his laundry since we met.

I leave my machine set to my usual wash level and all the kids have to do is throw in thier laundry, add detergent and push the on-button after closing the door. If you can get an 8 yo to do that, then an 18 or 19 yo should be more than capable of the task.

Well, the cheesecake turned out fabulously - it's very yummy! We just had supper together here at home, and had the cheesecake later in the evening.

In late morning, my husband's youngest sister called from Serbia - it was too bad he wasn't at home, so it was an interesting conversation I had with her - I can't speak their language, but thank goodness her English was good enough for us to have a short talk.

Husband is off work today, so it's going to be nice to have him home another day! :)

LOL, I just noticed I hit this post a minute ago!
