Usaully Monday is laundry day at the Dodson house, but since it was Labor Day on Monday, laundry day got pushed back a bit. Laundry to me is like listening to a bad song over and over again. I don't mind throwing it in the machines, but folding it, sorting socks, and putting it all away is one of my least favorite chores. I tried painting my laundry room a nice color and decorating it a bit to make it a little more bearable - didn't work. It's still not fun no matter how I try to trick myself. Riley always has a ton of socks with no mates (seriously, where can they all go?) and Kendle's clothes get so dirty that I have to scrub and scrub before even putting them in the washer. I do love the clean, fresh smell after it's all done. I just wish I could take it to one of these instead -
I am seriously the only one in my family who wears just one outfit during the day; it's insane how much piles up in a week. So I just had to stop and rant a bit in between my 99 and 100th load of laundry for the day. And if you happen to be doing the same thing today at your house, happy folding to you.

I love your blog Sarah. This is just too funny! I agree with you, I'm the only one wearing the same clothes all day. It's crazy. I did laundry all day on Monday, and I'm so sick of it. I already have more to throw in! Fun times!
I hear ya loud and clear!!!! Laundry is the never ending bane of my existence!
I despise this chore, too. I can't wait till my kids are old enough to do their own. I can't stand spending an entire day doing it, getting all the hampers empty and by the end of that day, there's enough dirty laundry to do another load! It's NEVER done!!
NEVER done. I've started doing 1-2 loads a day rather than all at once, but I'm not sure I like that either!!
What I've decided is this: there is no good way to do laundry. It all sucks. So I, like you Sarah, try to just do it once a week to minimize the agony. But every time I start complaining about it I think to myself "Just be thankful you have your own washer and dryer now. Those college days of collecting quarters and draging a million loads of dirty clothes that comes from 2 adults and 2 kids to/from the laundromat is gone now!" Sometimes that makes me feel better.
That is EXACTLY what I'll be doing today. The only thing that makes it bearable for me is to watch a favorite recorded tv show or I'll pop in a favorite movie while I fold the piles and piles of laundry.
A family of 6 makes A LOT of laundry...and don't even get me started on dishes.
Amen!
