Laundry.
Laundry will be the death of me. See that pile (I mean, “piles” – I don’t think that can be defined as just one pile – HA!). That is my everyday.
Does everyone hate laundry as much as me? Wait, hate is a strong word. Die, laundry, die! Okay I feel better now, did I really just tell the laundry to die?! Is it gone? Nope, still there. Nothing like a little (A LOT of) laundry to evoke such strong feelings ;)
It never seems to end. I tried doing one load everyday; wash it, dry it, fold and hang it, & put it away. It worked, for maybe a week.
Is there a laundry solution out there?
I can’t wait until V is 3. Maybe, just maybe, she can do the loads for me – we’ll call it “whimsical wash” & “fantastic folding” – the fun will never end. Wait, is 3 too young? Nah-nonsense.
Seriously, if anyone has ANY magical solutions for doing laundry, I am open to anything, I mean, EVERYTHING! I can do the washing & the drying, no prob Bob, it’s the FOLDING & the HANGING. UGH – it takes FOREVER. Maybe it is all my many years in retail management? This is why I despise folding laundry – I can’t delegate it to anyone – HA!
That pile, oh that gorgeous pile, well, it’s all clean, it just needs to be snapped at by the magic Mary Poppins fingers & insert itself into all my drawers and closets. Oh, if I could be Mary Poppins, for just ONE day…ahhhhhh…
Singing in my head now:
In every job that must be done
There is an element of fun
You find the fun and snap!
The job’s a game
Everyday I wake up saying (in my head of course), that this is the day all the laundry will be done & folded, and the hubs will walk in the door and do a happy dance that he finally has clean clothes.
And then real life happens, and I go to bed each day tripping over my pile of clean laundry needing to be folded.
If I was Mary Poppins for a day, I would spread the wealth, I truly would. I would show up at everyone’s house and snap my fingers…it would be great fun (and I just might even sing about it).
Who would you like to be for a day?
My 9yo has been folding the washing as one of her chores for a while now. She is determined to invent an automatic laundry folding machine. if anyone can do it she can.
YES! She definitely needs too! Shark Tank here she comes! I, along with 95% of the population I do believe, would buy it :) Thanks for stopping by!

I leave my laundry in the middle of the kitchen so I have to trip over it all day until I get sick of seeing it and actually put it in the wash. Happily, my hubby will fold my son’s clean clothes, and he does his own laundry (not because he’s super dad but because he’s very particular about it). So that leaves mine! Tomorrow…
:) Now that’s a theory…maybe I need to leave the bins in my hallway to force me to fold it!!! The hubs broke down & folded a bunch tonight. There is not enough time in the day…I would rather spend more time cuddling with my babies than worried about the horrid laundry ;) Thanks for stopping by!

I love laundry on a sunny day, especially after a long winter. But the novelty soon wears off… also with just two adults and one child we’re not really in laundry hell yet. Bub #2 is on the way though and I think that just might tip us over the edge.
Kids, no kids, hubs, no hubs, single gal days…yep, always very torturous for me. I need to learn how to love laundry…baby steps, I suppose :)

I did 3 loads of washing this morning – hung them before 8:30am… at 9:30am it poured :( My dryer got a work out!! Real Life and laundry is not a fun thing!!
OMG!! You must be wearing your badge of laundry honor proclaiming your laundry victories!! Someday it will happen for me ;)

Yep… I have a mountain that looks just like yours and I HATE laundry too. I think it is the never ending-ness about it that really gets me down. Just when you get to the bottom of the basket it is filled back up again… horrible nasty vindictive washing!
There really needs to be someone I can pay with cookies that can come to my house & fold it ;) Thanks for stopping by Kate!

I do believe I hate laundry as much as you do! So much that I made a video about it! Hope you enjoy it ;)
