The Myth of Sisyphus

Or otherwise known to me as, "The 7th Level of Hell"

In Greek mythology, Sisyphus was a brilliant rascal who sometimes played tricks on the gods to get what he wanted.  He even used trickery to avoid death.  Finally the gods had enough and condemned Sisyphus to eternal hard labor -- his punishment: rolling a boulder up a hill, only to have it roll back down to the bottom each time he finally gets it to the top.


I am convinced at this point in my life that it was not a boulder up a hill he was rolling, it is LAUNDRY.  Yes thats right LAUNDRY.  This is a project that no matter what you do, you will never be completely done with it.  The problem is, even when you are doing laundry, you have clothes on that you will eventually have to wash. (unless you want to go around naked all day, and well.... I dont think so)  I guess you could just buy new clothes each week and throw the others away, but that doesnt seem realistic does it. So what do you do? Do you wash them quickly so you only have small loads to do? which equates to doing laundry every day, all day, for the rest of your LIFE! or do you let the laundry pile up until you cant see large parts of your house and then spend the next week digging your life back out through the use and abuse of your washer?


UGGGGGGG  I get frustrated just typing about it...... and I roll the boulder back up the hill.
