In my household one of my many jobs is to do the laundry. Laundry is like bills, they or it just keep coming. Why can't I keep up with the laundry? Their our only four of us, it can't be that difficult, right? No matter what I've tried, I never seem to get or break even.
We have a laundry chute. It's my first one, when I was a kid we did it the old fashion way, dumped it on the floor and let mom pick it up. So, I'm thinking a chute makes it easier, I don't have to carry all the laundry downstairs. Well, its easier now for everyone. They throw clothes down it like they were sinking 3 point shots at a hoop-it up contest. Sometimes they get it so full, they jam it up. We don't have anyone small enough to send down it, so we have to use weighted objects like bowling balls or boat anchors.
I only wear one set of clothes a day. My wife and kids have a three or more a day policy. I am however a one towel one use guy. Some people use a towel several times, I just can't get behind that. A clean towel every shower thank you. (undies also) Sheets and blankets at least once a week. These are sane practices I hope. Even then it shouldn't add up that much, but it does.
The weekend is my catch up time, but important things like football interfere. Still I try to sneak in loads during timeouts and half-times. I have completed four loads already by noon and I just heard the chute making a growling sound. Maybe my kids are sneaking in their friends laundry and my wife is running a fluff and fold on the side. All I know is that I have more laundry to do...
