🎵Happy little wash weekend song!🎶

[sisterofbloomerjunior]

Just washed some sheets and a blanket. Tomorrow I’ll wash the rest of them and possibly make my bed. I wish Mom would allow me to donate the Christmas items we don’t use so we’d have enough room to store blankets, sheets and other items that we do use seasonally. We’ll decide most of blankets we’re keeping after I wash them - except for one of the goose feather comforters that I know has a small hole in it since feathers keep falling out of it. That, and I’m allergic to the feathers.

I wonder why Target doesn’t ship Rubbermaid storage containers. Wal-Mart has other brand’s containers available for shipping, but not Rubbermaid. I also wish Rubbermaid listed sizes of their containers and totes. I’m planning on getting possibly two of them, but would prefer to reuse other people’s unwanted containers rather than buying new ones because I’m trying to cut down on how much new plastic we create demand for.

I did bring up a porcelain doll and more small items to sort through. Now I wish I had kept one of the larger doll stands so we could display it. 😕

I agree about Rubbermaid -- it's soooo much better than that crap Walmart carries.

If you have a Home Depot hardware store within range, I have found Rubbermaid totes there. I suggest checking availability online before you go -- sometimes the store personnel don't even know it's there. If I can say, "It's supposed to be in Bay X, Aisle Y," they can help me find it.

Rubbermaid totes' most common sizes are 10-gallon and 18-gallon. The 10-gallon tub is 15 inches wide by 21 inches long by 9 inches deep. (Rough measurements; I didn't count the handles at the ends.) The 18-gallon tub is the same dimensions in size (lids are interchangeable), but about twice as deep. (I have 10-gallon in the house, so I could measure, but the 18-gallon are out in the shed and it's dark. But two 10-gallon stacked on top of each other are very close in height to one 18-gallon tote.)

Hope you can find some.
