Keep up with the laundry

With a husband, 2 young kids, a full time job, laundry is the last thing I want to do when I get home.

This is now my favorite chore since I can watch tv while I do it. I have been caught up all week!

I used to hate this task but since I’ve been folding laundry upstairs where the TV is I love it! It’s the best chore because you get to watch tv. I am all caught up and laundry AND Oprah.

I am caught up on laundry. Yesterday I folded and put away the ENORMOUS pile of laundry that had built up. Yay! I have clean clothes in my closet where they belong and my spare room is clean. A double bonus.

I am still on top of my laundry, despite going through some pretty intense midterms. Yay! Finals are coming up, but I remain optimistic about my laundry conquering abilities.

I’ve stayed caught up for about 2 weeks now… yay!!! I just do a load or two every week and it doesn’t get overwhelming.

It’s taken around 3 days of concentrated effort, but I finally conquered the 6.5 ft. pile of laundry that accumulated during finals and during my vacation. Woot! All that’s left now is the bedding… which will be no small feat. Whew! I need some champagne.

I’ve always had a problem with laundry but ever since we moved it’s become a crisis. We have a washer/dryer hook-up but no washer/dryer. The complex is tiny so there’s no laundry room. The only place to wash clothes is the laundromat down the street but it’s so expensive and I can’t fit more than 2 or 3 loads in the car with all three kids. I have a pile of dirty laundry so high I have to climb over it to get to my room. I’ve begun just giving things away! I already took several bags to Goodwill and I have more to go. If I don’t get a washing machine soon, I’ll have no clothes left!

I came up with a new plan. I washed all the un-necessary stuff first. Usually I do the clothes and towels first so if I run out of time or energy I have what I need. But I always end up with a pile of linens and bedspreads that never get done. So this time I got all the big bulky things done first and eliminated the option of not finishing. Would have worked great except I ran out of quarters and laundry soap midway through. But at least I have all the extras out of the way so I only have 6 or 7 loads of clothes left! :*)

Just got a notice today from the management. The cost of washing clothes is going up to $1.75. As if I didn’t hate it enough!
