Morning on the couch
I'm really good at making piles of clean clothes. But that's as far as I get. Those clothes are still on the couch, and will probably stay there until all used up.

I often tell people that the biggest adjustment that comes with a growing family is the exponentially growing piles of laundry. Now that we've got three kids, we can't go more than a week without doing a wash. It's a nightmare.

God, that is how it is here as well. I am the laundry queen when it comes to pre-treating, washing, drying and folding. However, putting it away, that's a whole 'nother story.

Beautiful picture as always,

Silly

Haha! I have you beat (at least from this picture!)
In our room is about 3 full loads of clean folded clothes piled wherever we can find room! On the changing table for the baby, on the chest, on the floor... It is crazy!

Ooh, I'm so guilty of this, too - in fact, I have a load in the dryer that has been there since Tuesday because I am too lazy to pull it out and fold it...I just keep walking by, turning it back on for about 15-20 minutes, convinced that THIS time I'll pull it out!

I had no idea that I wasn't the only person in the universe with this stupid problem. I end up moving our piles of folded laundry into our bedroom, then they fall on the floor, become unfolded, and get mixed in w/dirty clothes so that we don't know what's what. Why even fold them in the first place? I guess I can't let go of the idea that one day I'll actually be the type of person who puts them in dresser drawers.

Laundry is such a tedious chore. If you’re in a hurry and can’t find any clean clothes, do the Scratch and Sniff test; If you can scratch the stains off and it smells clean, it good enough for me

I solved my inability of putting clean clothes away by marrying a man that likes to put clothes away properly. Either that or he is just sick of stepping over my piles. Also, I can totally relate with Judy's comment of just starting the dryer again... I think some of our loads get "refluffed" about 5 times before my husband steps in.

I don't put away laundry either, but my piles are much worse, because we don't have a washer and dryer. So we did like rats through two weeks worth. Sometimes I go to the laundromat without having put away the previous time's!
