this sounds very much like my own sauce, only I use canned tomatoes instead of the prego. Viva la fresh herbs!

I just saw this post, but wanted to reply. I only have laundry for seven people, but God has taught me to view that laundry as a blessing. I am reminded of the bible verse, “Without the ox the stall is clean, but much increase comes from the strength of an ox.” Every dirty shirt is reminder that God has granted me another week on earth serving and learning from the one who wore that shirt. That said, I installed a lifesaving plan a few years ago. Once a child reaches ten years of age, he or she must wash, dry and put away his or her own clothing. I will still reap the blessed reminders of their place in our house by doing their bedding and towels on the appointed days, but they must each take responisbility for their own clothing. Each child has a scheduled time of the day and day of the week in which that chore must be accomplished. I am not a merciless dictator; I accept good excuses like the time the basement flooded and the non-stop towel loads pushed others out of the laundry room for days. I have seen my children mature and take responsibility for their own needs by allowing them this responsibility, though. I confess this has also been a great relief for me; I am free to finally attack that mending basket! Now I can focus on patching jeans while I thank God for the child who tore the hole in those pants!
