I Heart Doing Laundry

I find it truly amazing how two tiny human beings can possibly generate such an enormous amount of laundry in as little as three days. I am the one that dresses them, so it always remains a mystery how after a few days half of their wardrobe, if not more, ends up in the hamper. How? Do they get up in the middle of the nigh unbeknownst to me and play dress up while I sleep fitfully across the hall? It's crazy.

And when I couple their clothes with my husband's clothes, I seriously am doing laundry every other day....multiple piles (yes, I am the totally anal retentive that seperates whites, colors and lights). I bathe every day and change my clothes but for some reason my items are always a tiny little mound while my husband who works, goes to the gym and takes off his socks in the middle of the night only to forget about them and use another pair the next morning generates enough dirty clothes to dress a small nation.

I really used to love doing laundry, like I used to love cleaning house. It was therapeutic to me. Not so much anymore. Which reminds me, I have to go fold lilliputian sized jeans and t-shirts before the kids wake up from their nap and decide there is nothing more fun than to wade through my neatly folded piles of laundry.....

every day

When I have a washer and dryer at my disposal (either ones I own or that came with the place) I always do at least one load a day. That keeps everything moving easy. But, I know what you mean! Of course, my situation is much diferent from yours! In order to keep my tiny dirt magnet clean, I'd need to change her clothes at least 3 times a day! And, given that I do not have a washer drier at my disposal ($1.25 to wash - $1.00 to dry!) THAT AINT GONNA HAPPEN!

ouch!

yeah at those rates, doing laundry daily gets crazy expensive! i cant believe how much they charge nowadays for coin-op machines! i grew up in apartments so my parents always had to use the laundry room in the buildings and i remember the machines costing 25 cents! my mom says just to use the dryer at their building now costs $2. what a rip off.

to try and find a place that comes with a set OR a place to put a cheap set! At the rate this kid dirties her clothes, I'll be broke just from laundry!

I don't fold

I don't mind washing and drying and hanging but the to-be-folded items tend to pile up until we're digging through mountains looking for matching socks. I SO need a maid. Or more time in a day. Either way.

i'll take the maid AND more time!

LOLOLOL! you should see our closet. oy. i do fold (half assedly) and hang up stuff but not very nicely and it all ends up slipping off and onto the floor anyways. i actually had planned to do a major clean up of the closet tonight and have decided to procrastinate on that along with the ever so delightful tax crap we have to do.....

That's one of the reasons

That's one of the reasons we're moving. The new place has washer/dryer hookups, and we NEED the washer and dryer. They have literally had to put signs in the laundry room of our current apartment complex, asking people not to urinate in the trashcans of the laundry room. I mean, what human being needs to be reminded of that?!?

For the same reason

people need to be reminded not to use the blow dryer in the shower! People are stupid.
