What am I tackling today? Well, I am experiencing laundry overload!
I know that many of you are laughing and thinking to yourselves “When doesn’t she have laundry overload?” Yes, I have tons of laundry to do on a regular basis and I am NEVER caught up! Here’s the math – 6 boys, 3 acres, lots of rain, mud, sloppy eaters, one occasional potty trainer (ugh) and a bed-wetter (sorry it’s simply a fact)! They have separate school and play clothes which means that although they look very decent when they leave for school (note that I don’t mention that they look good when they come home!!!!) – my laundry level is often doubled.
Having said all of that though keep in mind that life is relative! My current laundry state is only overwhelming to me today because it is bursting out of it’s baskets. For another person who isn’t used to the amount of laundry I do daily and weekly what is normal to me may put them into an institution (LOL)!
Well, gotta go get the clothes out of the dryer, switch the washer to the dryer, put my 3rd load in for the day, sort some of the escapees from various baskets throughout the house, fold two loads (since the twins are napping) and put it all away!
Really quick though I want to mention that I like to put the clothes into the washer, switch from washer to dryer and I don’t mind sorting but I absolutely HATE folding and putting clothes away! The reason I mention this is that I am absolutely amazed by our differences! There are many women who adore the parts that I detest and vice versa! My suggestion (haha) – form a laundry co-op! You go to your neighbor’s house and do the parts she hates and she’ll come do the parts you hate! Problem Solved!
