I didn't learn everything I know in Home Ec Class...

I learned a lot in Home Ec, just not everything. My gift of knowledge on underwear is a self taught skill. Oh, would you like to know ‘the underwear skill’?

Well, it’s brilliant…here goes. I have made certain that the husband has a weeks’ worth more than me of underwear and socks in his dresser drawer. Why is that? When I run out, then I know it's past time to do laundry and I have only a few short days to get some done before he'll be hollerin’.

I also have bulky items, other than clothes, in the bottom of my laundry basket that takes up space and tricks my mind into thinking I have more laundry to do than I actually do have to do. Thus, I sorta, almost, stay on top of my laundry duty. Now, I haven’t figured out what skill to adopt in order to keep the employees from running out of timecards.

This week the timecards came to me on just about anything they could find to stamp. That happened on Monday. Did I reorder right then and there? NO! Did I forget? YES! Well, God didn’t! Guess who called this morning to ‘just’ check on me and say, ‘Mrs. Trainham, you haven’t ordered anything in awhile. Is there anything you need? We can ship it by tomorrow or Friday.’? Not God, Quill! Although, I was having a quiet time at the moment of their call and thought the interruption must be evil. But, it turned out to be a blessing from above. Well, you know what this means?

Those timecards will be here before Monday, the next pay period. Thanks Lord, for getting me out of that jam! And I’m waiting for a divine skill to fall from the sky to resolve this matter for the future. Moral of the story, don’t let your hubby get caught with dirty undies, get creative!
