The Laundry Problem

The laundry problem LaughWithUsBlogLaundry is one of my biggest household chores that takes the greatest amount of time.  For  our family of seven I have to do two to three loads a day six days a week or I’ll be drowning in laundry.  Thankfully, I like doing laundry.  Go me!  Ha ha.  Now don’t go and assume the kids don’t help; they are very involved.  Whew I headed off that lecture!  😉  But a huge pet peeve of mine is washing clean clothes.  Thou shalt not throw clean clothes in the laundry baskets!  I hate waste.  I cringe over the water, soap, electricity, and time wasted every time I realize I just washed “this” yesterday, and I know nobody has worn it.  Am I ranting?  I’ll stop ranting.  A blog is not for ranting…right?  Ha ha. 

So it was with this in mind that I picked up one of my little boy’s pair of jean shorts that was on the floor in the laundry room.  I “knew” I had washed, dried, folded, and put away that pair of shorts the day before, and I “knew” he hadn’t worn them.  To make sure, I did the test of all tests that would inevitably prove me right.  I pressed the pair of shorts to my face and took a big whiff expecting to smell my awesome laundry detergent.  Pee.  The smell is  unmistakable, and it was all over my face.  I don’t think I’ll be repeating THAT any time soon!

    I usually do 6-8 loads on Monday of each week. Sometimes I have to split it into two days, for our family of four. I don’t mind doing the laundry, but for some reason I hate doing the whites! Our daughter was notorious for putting clean clothes in the laundry until I made her write an essay on all the things that were wasted because iof this. It still happens from time to time, but the essay helped quite a bit with the problem

    Ha ha!! I can relate. I’ve fallen “victim” to the whiff test many a time. 🙂
