So, this post is a little different from what I normally write about, but couldn't help myself.
I was thinking the other day how I seem to do the same things over and over again during the course of one day! I'm not complaining (really) repitition can be a good thing. For example, how many times a day do I pick up a toy before I trip over it (or trip over it then pick it up!), put laundry in the washer, then into the dryer then into the laundry basket to carry it upstairs to take it out of the basket, fold it, put it back into the basket to carry it up another flight of stairs. Here it will sit for days before I get annoyed digging into the basket to look for the kids socks, etc...then finally put it all away. Just to continue on with the cycle again.
Now I don't mind cleaning house I find it very theraputic (although you can't tell if you ever been to my house) and I don't mind doing laundry. Something satisfies me with getting rid of the dirt and sorting and matching socks is like a big puzzle (I love puzzles!) Grocery shopping on the other hand is one thing I could easily pass on to someone else. I don't know why, it has the same repitition as doing laundry!
Take items out of cart
Place on check out belt
Put items in bags
Put bags in cart
Take bags out of cart
Put bags in car
Take bags out of car
Bring into house
Take items out of bags and put away.
Don’t look at receipt because nausea hits hard for paying way too much.

Actually, as I write this I am beginning to appreciate more the repititive things in life. These things offer stability, the same thing over and over again and it feels good. Wait? Did I just say that? I realize it feels good because I can control it. I am in control of the laundry, the groceries, the house cleaning. If I want to change it up, I can do that and if I want to do it the same way every time. Well, I can do that too!
So, over and over and over I go!
How about you? Do you enjoy the daily repetitive things in life?

I never looked at what I do as doing it over and over. I like your list and like you I enjoy what I do around my house and those errands I have to run. Great post!
