Laundry

I hate doing laundry!  I have no problem putting the clothes in the washing machine and then putting it in the dryer.  That is not the issue.

It is the taking it out of the dryer and having to fold it is the issue.  You have a few choices when it comes out of the dryer you can either: (a) start folding it, (b) lay them nice and flat on the bed so you can tell yourself you are going to fold it later and then not end up folding it and you use your laundry bin to become a clean clothes holder, (c) throw them on the futon in a guest room and run away (d) Not even lay them flat and lie to yourself that you will fold it and just pile it up in a clean laundry bin, (e) add any excuse but folding it.

 

I love having clean clothes and you can get in a groove and do like 4 to 5 loads or keep it a manageable level all the time so you are not at full dirty clothes bin capacity and have to start dressing up for work cause your "work" clothes are all dirty.

 

I think that is the key is to do laundry every week so that it does not become overwhelming and make you spend 2 days of constant washing.  I understand that and it all well and good, but I still hate it. That and when you do reach that all the clothes are done you are so spent of constantly laundry that you take a break and the cycle begins.

 

The worst part about folding laundry are the socks.  Somehow you always lose a sock from the pair or its in another pile so you wait and wait and then you end up with a pillow case or a hamper full of odd socks or you end up buying more socks. I am sure someone has come up with something to keep the socks together.

 

I did not realize I had so much inside concerning laundry.  If you have not guessed it - today is that laundry day for Kristen and I.  Wish us luck.
