Hooray for Fluff and Fold!............Funny the stuff we could "afford" to do in College when we had no money that we can't "afford" to do now when we do

mmmmmmmmm, boot camp memories, like the first day or two when I first got there, before they issued us our uniforms, they issued us sneakers, sweats, and a swimsuit, the swimsuit was used as skivies under the sweatsuit.....not that this has anything to do with laundry, its just 1am, and it brought back memories.......I'll stop derailing this now.

Or the small couch in the living room. Sad but true. I tell the family that I need help. I do the laundry and they put it away. I can make the kids do that but somehow, the husbands laundry is STILL on the couch. Oh well. It'll be there next time I do laundry too... which brings me to answer the question - I do it on weekends... and hate hate hate it.

I am all for this. Used to send out just work shirts but if I could pay somebody to wash everything.....

How often I do laundry is driven by the need for undies. Since I only wear those about 2 or 3 times a week I don't do a lot of laundry.

I confess (I know, wrong thread) that I've done the "buy new clothes to avoid washing the dirty ones" trick too.

I've bought whole new outfits, including underwear and socks, to avoid doing laundry.

David does his own laundry. I refuse to ente his bathroom and pick it up off the floor. Nickolas & I share a hamper that we never seem to use. The clean laundry will end up on the couch for a few days waiting to be folded. Since Nickolas is 100% pure boy I have to his wash quite a bit. When I do his if I have something that needs to be washed I will toss it in. Right now I have a big pile in the garage waiting to get washed, all smelling like campfire smoke from their camping trip. The stuff I had on when I took Boy up there reeks too, even though I only stayed for 30 mins.

I must confess I bought The Boy new jeans and socks just so I wouldn't have to do it as often.

I try to get my laundry done once a week. Out of habit Sunday afternoon/evening is my 'nesting' time. Time for laundry, cleaning the kitchen and making sure all the stuff that I've left around the house during the week is put away. Somehow it just makes me feel better knowing everything is in it's place. (I'm also one of those people who likes to make her bed).

At least one load of laundry gets done everyday...when you have one kid who plays baseball...and one who either has tumbling class or cheer practice almost everyday...it tends to pile up on you! So there's at least one load going thru daily....

Add to this that hubby travels alot....I totally 'love'

when he brings home his laundry for the week....and just dumps it off in front of the washer!

Last week I tried to be on "vacation" with the kids...meaning I didn't do any laundry!

I'm paying for that this week!

to set things straight, I really don't mind doing laundry. going to the laundromat can be productive. I get good reading or studying done there. my problem is the time to do it. the last thing I want to do after an 11 hour day is go do laundry...or any chores... I like to do that on the weekends... but when weekends get busy, chores get pushed aside.
speaking of that, I have enough socks, underwear and uniforms to get me through friday. looks like I don't have to go to laundromat tonight.
