I remember my brother asking our mother an important question.
He asked, "How did you raise us five children and make it look easy?"
Immediately, our mother answered his question without any hesitation,
She answered, "Routine, we had routine. I washed on Monday. I ironed on Wednesday.
I baked on Friday and we all cleaned the house on Saturday morning.
Also, we had our meals on time".
She told that it was all routine.
She had a wringer conventional washer and hung the clothes on the line in the back yard.
That even had a routine. Sheets went on the clothesline closest to the street so -
People couldn't see the under ware hung on the second line when they drove by.
Colored clothes went on the clothesline under the the shade of the tree so they wouldn't fade.
Come to think of it ....it was routine upon routine.
I think routine gives more time in the long run.
Maybe when I think I need more time I really need more routine.
