One Question for You

I have just one question for today . . .

Is it bad to keep children in their pajamas all day long because you don't want any more laundry than what's already there?

Please understand my rationalization:

1. It's still a bit cold here and footed pajamas keep the kids nice and warm.
2. I cover the boys with blankets when we are out in the stroller so people really can't tell what they are wearing.
3. They'll be heading to bed again before I even know it.
4. My laundry pile is large enough without another day's worth of clothes! Isn't that reason enough?

I'm rationalizing my indiscretions because I am hanging my head very low right now. Yes, my boys wore their pajamas all day today. I never got them dressed, and they are asleep right this very moment in the same pajamas that they wore last night. Truth be told, we did this more than I care to admit during our hotel living days, and I really liked how much it cut down on my laundry demands. Now that we are back to the world of normal living, I need to make sure my children are presentable and dressed each day. Yes, I will start tomorrow.

But for today, I sure enjoyed the small pile of laundry!

That really isn't any different than when you lived in Texas... you ALWAYS had those boys in their PJ's. I should know since I used to live with you!

Say hi to the little boys.
