When Your School Colors are Red and WHITE


I have a sneaking suspicion that whoever chose WHITE as a school color never had to do laundry.  In fact, I know for a fact that Ray and Ryan (the baseball coaches) think that the white uniforms look "sharp".  I also know for a fact, that at least in my family, I am the one who sprays, soaks and scrubs these things numerous times a week so that they stay looking "sharp".  Rather than watch the games, we moms discuss whitening and brightening techniques.  (Slight exaggeration there....) But I have learned that Cascade dish washing detergent is a must.

After a night of soaking, everything is all right again.

But I'll tell you what.  If they ever decide to change our school colors, I'm voting for something that matches grass stains and dirt...

Wow I think you should do a commercial! Seeing is believing and I am going to be using a lot of cascade this summer! :)

I am so impressed with your laundry skills! I don't think I could ever get any pants so white again! What a kind and loving mother you are to help your son look so clean and cool! You are a great mom and wife! I am assuming those are your sons pants and not ryans!

Too bad someone won't allow any black in our school uniforms.

I am so impressed! I pretty much stink at getting stains out, really!! So someday I'll have to get a few pointers on that!

Marcie, I LOVE your wit! Who else could make laundry so funny! Love the cascade tip, who would have thought?

Thanks for the tip about the cascade... Ican't get things white ever.

And by the way, it is a student I have had twice. I bet you didn't have her unless you taught a regular class.... try that on for a hint.
