YAY!!! Electricity is back at the Tatta house! For those of you who prayed that I would not get food poisoning from the sausage pizza, I thank you. Your prayers worked. ( I know that none of you actually took the time to pray for that, but whatever)
So, the aftermath is this: laundry piled to the ceiling and mold growing in the dishwasher. GROSS. Eight loads of laundry. Technically, that may not sound like that much, but when you are actually having to do it, it's an albatross. I would soooooo love a first floor laundry room right now!
I've decided to start making my blog slightly interactive. At the end of each thread, I will pose a question related to the topic. I would greatly appreciate getting your responses if you are so inclined to do so!
Today, the topic is laundry. The question is this: Do you love or hate doing laundry? And, what part of laundry do you hate/love the most?
Obviously, I hate doing laundry. Mainly because it's downstairs and I can't do it as efficiently as I would like. However, easily the worst part of doing laundry is putting it all back in the drawers after it's washed. Man, I hate that. I HATE it. I have to spread everything out on my bed to divvy it into piles for each member of the family, then proceed to put it all away in different rooms, drawers, closets, etc. I always procrastinate, and then the laundry piles up again before I've put away the last batch.
So, there you go.
Do you hate separating? Folding? Switching from washer to dryer? Having to lay certain items out to air dry? Putting away? Everything about laundry?
Spill.

Okay, I have been shamed into "interacting". I really don't mind doing laundry(except football practice pants). I can gather,sort,wash,hang out to dry(hopefully),fold and divvy up the piles with the best of them - BUT- I despise folding socks! I have even been known to use this as a form of punishment for the unlucky soul who has "nothing to do". Anyone else??
Okay, first of all, I don't suck! (In fact AT&T sucks because we just got our internet up and running since our power went out that fateful windy night almost 2 weeks ago!) So, what I love about laundry is the therapeutic nature of it- that feeling of having actually accomplished something. However, the putting away thing is rather gruesome. I'm working on solving that one though- I think the girls are getting old enough to start doing this on their own, so now I just place nice, neat little piles on their beds that they will then put away at their earliest convenience. BUT, the reality is this- I put the clothes on their beds. At bedtime, they dump those damn piles on the floor-half unfolded at this point. The clothes then sit on the floor for a couple of days- and Lucy finds them very cozy to snuggle next to. After a few days, I have to threaten the girls to either get them put away or I'll just take them. After I say this 5-10 times, they pick up these, now heaped up pile of unfolded somewhat clean clothes and stuff them in whatever drawer happens to have any sort of space left over inside. Whatever does not fit in a drawer somehow manages to find its way into the dirty clothesbasket and the whole damn process starts over again! I guess we have some work to do on this topic. Am LOVING your blog- keep it up! Wendy
