This picture is really how exciting my day was today.
I spent my day doing laundry. I know I've already posted a laundry picture but this is seriously what my day consisted of. I thought I'd show the wonderful machine that helps me with my laundry. I love my machines. "Why," you might ask, "did I have so much laundry if I've been doing the one load a day thing like my previous post suggested?"
Way back in Texas (not sure of the time frame but it has been at least that long), I used to do my laundry once a week. I would wash everything on Mondays and then not worry about it the rest of the week. We did it this way when John and I were first married and continued while we lived next door to my mom - before I had my own washer and dryer. It was easy. Somewhere between that time and last week, I decided it would be better if I did a load a day. That seemed much more simple. However, I really had a hard time washing, drying, folding and putting away every single day. Sometimes we would have baskets full of clean clothes folded but that would come unfolded when we needed to get something at the bottom of the basket. Sometimes we would have baskets full of clean clothes that weren't folded. I didn't like those times. Sometimes I wouldn't do a load one day, then two days, then three days.... etc. That would make getting the kids dressed kind of chaotic. I don't function too well if I'm not organized. So, I decided that I MUST switch back to my old ways of once a week washing. Today was the day. I washed 6-7 loads of clothes, folded them and put them away (mostly). Wednesdays have been designated to be my towel/diaper washing day and Fridays are sheets.
I guess everything won't be washed in one day but I do have 5 people living here - clothing is enough to do in one day. I don't want to do laundry ALL day long. :)
