I have a dream.\u00a0 A very small, simple dream, really.\u00a0 I dream that one day the laundry will be all clean AND put away.\u00a0 Clothes, linens, everything washed, dried and in its proper place.\u00a0 Silly, huh?\u00a0 But I\u2019m not sure at any time in my mommying life I\u2019ve ever achieved this goal.\u00a0 I\u2019m great at getting things washed (and Sugarplum’s current potty training situation helps me stay on top of it!) but it\u2019s the getting things put away that eludes me.<\/p>\n
Generally a clean\/dry load will stay in the dryer until the next load needs to go in.\u00a0 Then the clean clothes are put in the designated laundry basket (one for each member of the family and one for linens).\u00a0 Hubby puts his own clothes away (though not real regularly) and I do most of the rest.\u00a0 I\u2019m pretty good about getting the girls\u2019 clothes put away because I get tired of digging through the baskets each night looking for pajamas.\u00a0 It\u2019s those darn linens and my clothes that sit around for weeks (and admittedly, sometimes even months) waiting for me to get enough energy\/free time\/desire to put them away.\u00a0 I\u2019ve even tried putting the clothes in a place where they\u2019ll have to be put away the same day, like on my bed, but I just move them when I\u2019m tired.<\/p>\n
In college I used to hang my clothes up as I took them out of the dryer but I don\u2019t have a proper set up for that currently (nor do I generally have the time at the moment they come out of the dryer).\u00a0 When Honeybun\u00a0was a baby I would plop down with her nice, warm fresh out of the dryer clothes and fold them on the living room floor.\u00a0 When Sugarplum was a baby I began piling everything in laundry baskets and folding it when I got around to it.\u00a0 Who knows if the clothes will even get washed when baby #3 comes along!<\/p>\n
Sigh.\u00a0 Guess it\u2019s just a reality I\u2019ll have to live with for now\u2014unless someone wants to come do it for me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
