The tenth commandment

So, I started working as a volunteer in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple last night and it has caused me to struggle with the tenth commandment. I serve in the laundry there- yes you have to bring your own clothes- but we still do a ton of laundry. Most of the laundry comes from baptisms. There are three huge washers that will hold 30 towels in a load and you don't even have to add detergent or bleach or anything- just push a couple of buttons. The whole cycle take about 35 minutes and then you move the towels to one of three massive dryers that take about 25 minutes to dry them.
Here's the thing, my washer and dryer at home only hold about 10 towels in a load and don't complete their job in anywhere close to one hour. Luckily I don't have to wash 30 towels at a time at home, but if I did it would take atleast 4 hours. As I thought about this I began to realize I would love to have a set of the temple washers and dryers at home, it would make laundry for three rowdy boys much quicker and easier. Now I am worried. If I continue to spend time in that laundry room and then come home to my tiny walk through room with its tiny slow machines how long will it be before I move from admiration to coveting.
More importantly what does it say about me that working in the temple might lead to my breaking a commandment? I guess I had better come up with a covet prevention plan quickly. As I write this it occurs to me that the plan would probably come to me more quickly if I thought about it with chocolate in my mouth. Yummm!

Trying to get the hang of this

I decided maybe I should learn to blog since I sit at the computer all day long anyway. I hope this will help me keep my connection with Raylee strong this year while she is far far away at school. Okay, so school isn't very far away but after having here downstairs all summer it sounds pretty far away to me right now.
