I need to make a point today. I need you to listen and know this. Your dirty laundry is dirty, and you must act accordingly.
Do you know how many germs are multiplying and dividing and filthicating within your piles of dirty laundry? I don't have the statistics handy, but I am confident that the answer is scads and scads.
I see what lands in the laundry basket and I'm fearful of it. Remnants and vestiges of events better left in the past lay lurking, waiting, and poised to replicate themselves, if given an opportunity. We must not let this happen.
You see, I'm fighting a battle at my house. My husband, who knows not what he does, regularly digs through the dirty laundry basket in search of a wayward belt or leftover money. He roots around and throws everything out on the floor as he looks. That is just plain offensive. Then he loads it all back in the basket and carries on about his day as if he isn't now harboring disease.
This leaves me to follow his trail armed with a can of disinfectant spray. I spray the floor where the laundry fell, the light switches, door handles, anything at all he might possibly have had contact with.
Until the next day....wash, rinse, repeat.

LOL!!! Monk has nothing on you.
Have you seen Monk on USA network?? He has terrible OCD. This is the last season of the show. I am hoping he finds his wives killer. The show is definitely one that you can watch with your kids. They never really show any blood and definitely no cussing.
LOL!!! Then you would freak out knowing that one day my son took a shirt out of the dirty laundry and wore it!!!
Oh I do hope you dont have OCD as I know it is a very horrible thing to live with. I also have many of the same fears when it comes to germs. I do my best to overcome it, but I still find myslef doing things that say otherwise. LOL
Love and Prayers,
Tim
You are so silly and I think I love that best about you, lol!!!
LOL, I'm with you on that! I'm OCD'ish over dirty laundry and when I did hair, it was 10x worse!
I'd wash my clothing separate, even going as far as hiding my clothing away so the kids wouldn't touch it.
I hate cutting hair now..feeling those little itchy nasty hairs throughout my clothing.. I hate germs and I hate laundry even more heh heh
Can I say I've never really even THOUGHT about germs & stuff being on those dirty clothes... I'm sorta grossed out now... :)
Laundry germs are something I have never even thought about.
Stopping in from SITS.
I think I'll go do my laundry now...
I agree you and Monk ... LOL
You have my laughing so hard, love it my dear. Have all boys hear I'm afraid to think of it. It may make me go crazy if I think of it ... :)
this is the main reason i hate not having a washer and dryer here at my apartment. my laundry has to sit and sit for days. :( gross!
Thank you, now you've just goaded me into doing a load of laundry.
LOL! Yeah, it's pretty dang gross if you really stop and think about it. At least the dirty clothes are in the hamper to start. I'm constantly picking up dirty work clothes and socks courtesy of the mister. Thinking about the ick on them grosses me out: dust, crawl space heebie jeebies, attic critter poo, sweat...it's all nasty. And he just puts it wherever, even though the hamper is right there!
Is this the image that you see when you are spraying down your house each day? Wow! The inside goings of Blueviolet's head.
I would never be without my Lysol either. :)

ROFL wow, you really are a germaphobe eh? I already did some laundry yesterday but I guess I should work on that dirty pile and do some more today. Sigh. I don't want to think of all the little germies.
I will never look at my hamper the same again.
Men! I think their prpose on this earth is to spred germs in their wake.
And as an aside... Your black text is blending with the stripes in your background. Can you make it darker or bold it? Just thought I'd say something in case others are having a hard time :)
Ugh....at least I finished my tea before reading. LOL.
LOL does that mean I should start spraying my Hubby too LOL the source of the laundry germs???
I am washing the clothes today. I wanted to say Thanks for stopping by my friends blog the other day when I did a guest post. You rock and are a great blogging friend thanks....
Have a great Monday...
Oh gosh, like I needed something else to become neurotic over.
What if something IS growing in there? Or worse yet, what if something is growing in his jeans he hasn't changed in three days? Oh the horrors!
Hmmm, I am doing my laundry today. Are you psychic? Do you want to do my laundry?
LOL You continue to entertain and teach me all at the same time!
Ha! :-) That's cute! But, yeah, I'm pretty yucked out by digging through dirty laundry, too. It just reminds me of sweat and sloughed off skin particles .. UGH. Gross!!
Now with an 8 month old, my laundry basket is germ heaven.
At first, I thought that Dirty Laundry was a metaphor for something else, until I kept reading. LOL.
Thanks for visiting while I was away.
These are the things that I prefer not to dwell on...being as I have little boys who have not yet become proficient wipers...
Well, now that you put it that way!
Phew! That's one big germ phobia. Will you have sleepless nights if I tell you that I regularly dress the kids from the (dirty) laundry hamper?
yuck!
So I shouldn't admit to doing the same thing myself, right? Umm, I have NEVER done that...ever!
I am so glad that I wasn't the only one whose thoughts went right to the character Monk!
Ughhhh...my laundry area looks just like your first photo...ahem, as you know my neglectfulness's reason is Twilight.
I never thought about what you just wrote about disinfecting things. I'm shuddering....where's my Lysol spray?
p.s. Loved Hit 40's comment on you got nothing on Monk :)
At least he put the dirty laundry back into the basket. My beloved can't seem to get his dirty clothes into the basket in the first place, much less after the fact if needs to go "hunting" for something he left in pocket. MEN!!
I'm so impressed that your family knows how to put the laudry IN the basket. My family has no idea what that thing is for. Their laudry belongs on the floor scattered around the room ...right?
I do so much laundry a week I even do it in my dreams. Seriously. I nanny for a family of 6 and do all their laundry, linens, etc and then I've got my husband who wears 3 outfits a day....
My husband does the laundry, cause I don't "do it right"!
LOL You are too funny! I thought for sure this was going to be a laundry product review post. Good luck trying to change his ways, yuck!!
You remind me of myself! I about died the other day when I discovered that my husband washes my sons underpants (if he's had an accident) in the kitchen sink! EEk! You better believe I set out to disinfect the entire kitchen!
ROTFL!!!!!
Maybe I should have my kids start putting their laundry straight into the washer! :)
I love it!! This is the exact reason why hubby has his very own hamper...and I wash his clothes separate and Princess Nagger's and mine together...you know, because we have less germs than he does. Maybe residual cooties from grade school days? If nothing else, his socks really stink! And it's a nice surprise when I've laundered money...at least now that money that goes into my wallet when that happens is clean. ;)
Hahaha! You know what MY hubby does sometimes as a side job? He eels out sewers!. His dad works for the city water & sewage treatment plant so Jim sometimes gets to "help." Now THAT makes for some nasty clothes! Those go STRAIGHT in the washer!
hahaha! OK, so this is not funny. But it is. sort of. Sometimes I am really behind on the laundry. Other times I have it washed before my husband can even go look for his money, or belt, or security badge. That security badge has gone through the washer and dryer at least a dozen times. I'm amazed that it still works!
This just sparked all sorts of disturbing thoughts about my son's bedroom floor, since that is where ALL of his dirty laundry resides.
I better get the Lysol and get started.
I actually did know that and wash my hands after putting a load in, yes it is true.
I am grossed out just by handling my peeps dirty laundry. And they don't even do anything out of the ordinary! LOL
Filthicating? Excuse me a second... Running... Barfing... Running...
The grossest thing EVER is coming in contact with a "personal hair"...
I used to wash mine and Jack's clothes separately, but, after the Puberty Fairy slammed Emily...
SHUDDER.
Yikes. I try to do laundry a few times a week but maybe I should do it as soon as the clothes hit the basket!
you are funny - I will not even touch my hubbies laundry - at all ever!!
