We are literally drowning in laundry here...Its beyond me how 4 people can create so much laundry in the matter of one day. I seriously hope that other homes go through the same laundry steps that we do.
Step 1: Wash clothes (wait a minimum of 3 hours)
Step 2: Wash again b/c you left it in the washer too long and they are starting to smell rotten. (I seriously did this 3 times just this week)
Step 3: Dry (wait one day)
Step 4: Hit the dry button again to get the wrinkles b/c you're feeling motivated and just stuck a new load in the washer.
Step 5: (this can go two ways- a: you lost your motivation and now you throw the clean clothes in a laundry basket to deal with later just so you can dry the other wet load. b: you are still feeling good so you take them out and fold them in neat piles on the couch. )
Step 6: Stack the different piles on top of each other and move them to the edge of the sofa so you can sit to watch TV (leave a minimum of 2 days)
Step 7: Take the large pile upstairs to the guest bed so that visitors don't see the clothes on the sofa and/or your husband doesn't give you that look of "what have you been doing all day?" when he comes home again.
note: during step 6-7 you can certainly take things off the piles as needed (ie. you're down to wearing your holy/stained crotch underwear or your children have no matching socks left)Step 8: Hang up clothes or stuff as much as you can in drawers.
Step 9: Start all over again
