Laundry-laundry and more laundry!


As I gathered the laundry from every crevice of my house I was thinking about how laundry is such a mind drain. I have known people that love laundry. I am not one of them. The actual sorting, washing, drying and folding is not the problem. That is easy. The problem that I have is that it seems to take up so much of my life.

Today I decided that I was going to load up all the laundry and take it to the laundromat. At the mention of this my sis-in-law Julie is gagging! How gross is it to choose to take my families clothes to a laundromat? Well, I decided that the sanity of this family's mother was more important that the idea of using washer's that strangers use!

So, I loaded up the 'burban --I actually had to lay the back seat down, and we headed to town. Little J was so patient. He thought it was fun for a bit. I sorted and sorted and then loaded and loaded machines. I filled eleven machines and then one HUGE machine that held about three loads. After feeding the machines with quarters we went and had lunch. After lunch we headed back to start sorting the dry with no dry clothes. We once again fed the hungry machines. The dryers seemed even hungrier than the washers.

After we folded and folded I finally reloaded the 'burban with the clean clothes.

Now to get them all put away before I have nine more loads!!
