Conquering the LAUNDRY BEAST!!

[Birgit Kerr]

Ah yes, the laundry beast. It is half way tamed here. Ever since I was on bedrest during my pregnancy with the twins, my DH took over the laundry duty (for the most part) and we kept at least some of that up.

However, his idea of doing laundry is throwing everything on the floor until the weekend comes (I DO have hampers everywehre though !!!) and then do laundry. Once it comes out of the dryer, his part is sort of done. If I don't get to the laundry real fast then, it'll end up on a heap on the floor again ... only clean this time.
Since my DH is however the one that goes through clothes like nobody's business (and towels) because he can't be bothered to put stuff away, it's probably just aswell that he is participating in the laundry beast. And sometimes I do think that something lives in the laundry beast piles he produces - no kidding !
Since I also have 2 15 month olds, that are at the "do it myself" messy stage, I do laundry every other day too though, but that part never turns into much of a beast.

Now, to the dustbunny and cat hair beast .... whole different story

oh my goodness! I just can't face my laundry beast! During the winter, it seems we have tons of sweaters, coats, socks, blankets... I have way too many things to wash. I do try to set aside a day to clean, but it doesn't usually work that way, lol.

Well, we have 5 kids and 1 grandson, so YES, our laundry is one BIG beast! We do an average of 3-4 loads a day and the whole family is involved!
