conquer Mt. Laundry
I know that I'll never be done with this chore... 13 months ago

but it’s getting ridiculous. I swear that I get everyone in this house (4 people) squared away, and scads of clothes are piled up in less than a week. We don’t change outfits several times a day! I don’t want to be washing/drying/folding every day, but if that’s what it takes for a while, then I guess I have little to no choice.

Today, I processed a load of denim, a load of diapers, and 2 loads of towels. I have another load of towels, one comforter, and a load of my daughter’s clothes (along with her brother’s stained ones).
