This week's focus is on clothes. Dawn and I, following Hatmaker's example, have picked seven articles of clothing that we will wear for the week.
Yes, we can wash the clothes.
No, undergarments don't count toward the seven.
Shoes count as one item.
I naively thought this week would be easy-cheesy for me since I'm not a big clothing fanatic anyway, and fortunately it's summer so I don't have to wear anything professional for teaching.
But wow! For someone who is not a fashionista, I sure have a closet full of clothes! And shoes! I had a much harder time picking out only seven things than I figured I would. I finally settled on one pair of jeans, 2 pair of shorts, 3 short sleeve shirts, and flip flops. In theory, this means I can wear each combination at least twice and one of them three times. See? Easy!
Except it isn't.
What about pajamas? Nope, I have to sleep in my clothes.
What about exercise attire? I guess I will have to channel my inner nine-year-old and go for a run in jeans. (Dawn did allow me to make an exception for cycling attire though.)
Okay sure, but what about the drool/milk/cookies/dirt/boogers/goldfish that my young son inevitably wipes all over me each day? Um, ew. Welcome to motherhood.
I'm praying that God will continue to speak to me this week through less laundry and less wardrobe distractions. I'm going to try to keep my heart open and sensitive to His commands.
Aw man. I just got mustard on my shirt.
