- You stare at this basket. You don’t remember if you’re supposed to fold the contents or wash them. You resort to The Smell Test.
- You are reading too many books at once, including “The Autobiography of Helen Keller,” “The CHICKtionary,” “The Bible” and “The Hunger Games” and suffer from constant haunting mental images of a blind, deaf and mute angel in Spandex shooting Anne Bancroft with a bow and arrow.
- Your To-Do list is the length of the Mahabharata. Not one item is crossed off. Sorry, one item is crossed off. The one that says “Destroy To-Do list because it is making you feel terribly guilty.” You feel terribly guilty after crossing this off.
- Your friends are planning an intervention, where they will lock you in a room devoid of your laptop, files, cookbooks, Febreze, adorable home-made thank-you cards, briefcase, half-finished Lenape Indian diorama, pruning shears, poultry shears, pinking shears, and Mahabharata-length To-Do list. You are given the March issue of Real Simple.
- You Google “Elective Lobotomies” just for fun so you can have a humorous ending to this article. You read for an embarrassingly long time. You don’t admit that in this article.

Um… same laundry. That’s how bad it’s gotten.
#2 made me truly laugh out loud. Luckily, I had just swallowed my mouthful of tea because my laptop doesn’t look too kindly on spewage.

Grateful for the near-spew, Kristin.
I’ve had the laundry basket that I can’t remember if it’s clean or dirty and I always just assume it’s clean and fold it.
Then that’s my new strategy, Sarah.
Oh, Dusty, not only do I love you because your house is a mirror image of mine BUT you can write the bejeebies out of anything.
LOVED THIS.
and *high five* from one of you to one of me.
