Laundry and a four-year old
This morning during my #speedclean I had Ryan help fold some laundry. His job was the dish towels. After a couple of towels he sighed (as if exhausted) and said, “I don’t want to do laundry anymore. It’s just the same thing over and over.”
I couldn’t help laughing at that one. Sometimes that’s how I feel too. Didn’t I JUST do laundry? Why are there SO many dirty clothes?
Speaking of laundry. This is the space in our house where a washer and dryer should go.
But we don’t have one. And so I pile junk there instead. Not having a washer and dryer is a major challenge for me with the laundry of three little kids, but we manage with a weekly trip to the laundromat. Three years ago we sold our house so my husband could go back to graduate school and the washer and dryer went with it. We opted to just use the laundromat while we were living in our small college campus apartment and planned to get one after graduation. But we still haven’t, six months later. Unexpected expenses keep coming up now that we are back in “real life,” soooo, we continue to visit the laundromat.
I took a picture of the washer and dryer space to motivate me to participate in the 28 Day Organizing Challenge. Maybe I’ll get that space cleaned up and we’ll get a washer and dryer to fill it! *crossing my fingers* You think it doesn’t look that bad? Well, you notice I didn’t show you the other side of the room. LOL. Accountability, my friends. But I’m not ready to strip down to my underwear just yet!
P.S. The adorable felties are coming to a grab bag near you. SOON!!

HAHAHA!! I can soooo hear Ryan saying that. Lina does the same kind of sigh and the “I’m tired, mommy”. Maybe it’s a four year old thing, eh? Good luck getting organized and good luck getting a w/d. That is one of my must haves. We passed up a lot of places because I was NOT willing to go back to a laundromat! Every time I started to cave I tried to remember those nights when the kids start vomiting at 2am… uh, yeah. Have to have a w/d. But kudos to you for making it work!! You have more tolerance than I do, lol. (btw – the felties are adorable! can’t wait to see what you come up with for me
)

I just grabbed your grab bag – it’s fabulous!!! And good luck with getting that space sorted – space is a vacuum… something must fill it! ROFL.

Your “corner” looks like my whole basement! I like that “organizing challenge.”

That’s right, laundry is “the same thing over and over again.” Good observation. But, just like so many things in life, has to be done. My mom use to say, “We have so much laundry–we must be either very dirty or very clean people.”
