Laundry…..

Sometimes I feel like all I do is Laundry.  Not really but you get it right?  Laundry is such a process, an all day affair.  I find it really hard to remember the next step and totally forget to put the clothes in the dryer or sometimes I even start the water and forget to add the clothes!  Crazy, I know but I’ve come to accept that {a load of laundry a day} sounds great and all but it just can’t happen in my home.

I have decided that Tues & Thurs are now Laundry days.  I can potentially get 4-5 loads done in one day, if that is my focus for that day.  I can sweep, vacuum or play with the kids in between, but my main focus that day is laundry.  This way I have found I am way less likely to forget a step!  That makes Wed & Fri my “spill over” days.  With every load I get out of the dryer I hang up the shirts immediately.  As in have hangers at the ready and straight to closets throughout the day.  That way if I want to sit down and watch a little TV I can fold the other stuff.  If it doesn’t get put away that day I can easily do that after my morning coffee.  It astonishes me how much laundry a family of four has I can’t imagine a larger family or heck when the kids clothes get as large as mine!!

But hey by then they will be helping, right?!?!?

So in conclusion, no I don’t like laundry but I’m crossing my fingers that this system will work for us.  Since I’ve spent the last 4 years trying to wash one load a day and getting no where fast.
