I am folding laundry AND looking for any ol' excuse to get out of it. It has been sitting in a basket for just a couple of days. It's been taunting me BUT I've been able to walk past it and say, "Nope not today. I am TOO busy." Well, Dusty is working, my friends all have their hubbies home or are working or are playing, and all my regular weekly chores are done. I thought that maybe I could be too busy working on Christmas presents today but I ran out of thread, yarn, buttons, and all other fabulous things that would of kept me busy.
Laundry makes me feel charitable. It makes me feel like giving away all these clothes to someone who needs them. Our little family has been very fortunate. We haven't had to struggle as much as most during the economic downturn. We have very supportive extended families that are very generous. I am looking at just Lucy's clothes right now. I've folded them and they are sitting here ready to be put away and I honestly don't know if I can fit them all in her dresser. She has AT LEAST
20 pairs of pajamas
12 pairs of good jeans and leggings
14 pairs of play pants
18 play shirts
23 good shirts
I'm sure, in fact, I KNOW that there are people out there that have that, if not MORE. BUT I don't like doing laundry. With that many clothes I don't have to do laundry for at least 26 days. BUT at the end of those 26 days I am left with a full days worth of laundry. That is what I am doing today.

I try to keep only enough for only 8 days. I have to do laundry every week but I don't have to fold much. I'd rather fold more often with less each time. That's just me...it is time to go through the drawers again though. I noticed I am only doing laundry closer to 10-12 days now. That's just too much folding for my liking. Glad you got it done. Did it all get put away?
I HATE laundry!!!!!!!!!! stinkin' clothes. Why can't it just be kosher to go naked. It would save so much water, energy and time.
I absolutely refuse to believe she has that many clothes. You're going to have to prove it.
