I have to say that with three children, laundry is a big chore. It is constant. I could do laundry all day every day and still never be absolutely done. I am so tired of laundry!!!!! Plus, my kids seem to have an aversion to putting it in the proper place. Thus, I find items of clothing in various states of decay all over the house. It's frustrating.
Before you give me lots of advice, let me just say that I have tried various methods to deal with the laundry. I found it manageable, and actually, quite enjoyable, when I was at home full-time. It's been since I went back to work full time that I find it so onerous. And even worse since I have become a single working mother.
Ok, so what does one do with an onerous, repetitive, and annoying task? Offer it up! Yes, laundry, too, counts. Unmatched socks? 10 minutes off purgatory. Difficult stains? 1 day. A load of barfed-on towels? 6 months. Soiled sheets? 1 year.
I ought to be paid up before I die. Oh, yeah...I keep losing my patience with the kids over laundry. So, I keep "earning" more time...Sigh...
