Yesterday was a slug day for me due to work and lack of sleep. I washed and dried a load of towels. Really didn't have enough laundry to do much else anyway. I had left the basket of clean towels by the linen closet and finally folded & put away last night. I had left the kitchen towels since I was heading to bed. Those were folded & put away this am.
So far this am, dd's sheets are washed and drying. Gathered up a load of darks magically. I think I had enough last night for a small load and wow .... found enough for a full load this am. Those are washing.
Goal today is to put clean sheets back on dd's bed. And fold/hang & put away darks when done washing.

I started a load Friday evening, and hung up some of the clothing yesterday before going out for the day.
Today I'm going to do start one load now, and work on catching up on some of the backload.

Sunday I did get a little laundry done.
Wash, dry, fold/hang & put away load darks Wash & dry dd #1's sheets - fold & put away Wash & dry dd #2's sheets plus a few towels - fold & put away Clean linens on both girls' beds
Nothing too overwhelming for the day. Things have been running pretty smooth. If I can just keep on top of things this week since it's my 6 day work week and do a load every day or so I'll be good. I should not have enough of anything to do today (Monday) which is okay. But I will probably have a load of lights to do tomorrow.

I haven't posted in a week on this thread. I was doing laundry okay last week. I had a couple days where I stalled. I was caught up on a day to day basis, only small bits waiting to be washed. And then it happened. I got behind. Not too bad thankfully and I recouped it today! I had washed 1 load of darks 2 nights ago and it was sitting in a basket in my room. Then I had 2 loads worth of towels to wash, thanks to having to use half of my towels for a flood mess my 2 yo made in the bathroom that night. So yesterday I washed and dried 2 loads of towels and 1 load of colors. But they all sat.
This am I folded & put away 1 load of towels. Then washed more clothes. Just finished a 30 minute laundry sweep with hubby's help at the end. I folded and put away 2nd load of towels. Folded/hung & put away 1 load of darks and 1 load of lights. He took 1 load of lights that was all #1 daughter's and hung/folded & put away. Then we had bedding. I folded & put away 1 set of clean sheets and he put the other on her bed.
My mom gave us an old set of girly sheets and comforter. The sheets are too big for her bed, but the comforters works. So we pulled out one of her old ones to part with. Keeping the sheets for our air bed though since we have to use one of our King's on that.
I have 2 more loads in machines that will be taken care of tomorrow.

Laundry & other clothing successes for today: Fold & put away set of sheets & a few blankets Pulled 2 blankets out of linen closet to add to donations (gone bye-bye now. Hubby dropped off 4 hours ago) Pulled out a small load worth of clothing for dd#1 from donations from my niece. Remainder of items (still 5 sacks of clothes and 2 stuffed animals) dropped off for donation. Folded & put away clean comforter Folded/hung & put away load darks Folded/hung & put away load lights I have the load of donation stuff for daughter drying now and a load of towels washing now. How can I have more towels when I got 2 loads done yesterday? And my motto is "hang it and reuse it?"

I had to read this for motivation. I haven't washed in about a week now and it's getting out of control. I don't even know where all the dirty clothes are because they haven't walked their way to the laundry room. I am going to go start what is in there waiting and then send the resident kid on a Laundry Rodeo when she gets home from school. Maybe I can get 2-3 loads completed today and get Mt. Washmore reduced to a mere foothill.

Good plan Di! Get going with what's already in laundry room. My 7 yo gripes about having to round laundry. But it is one of her chores. Although I have been wrangling most of it this last week since I have been home from work on a short staycation and getting real sleep at night. Things will be "back to normal" (not that I am happy about that) starting tomorrow. This morning I have: Washed & dried 1 load of towels Folded & put away 2 loads of towels Washed & dried (still drying) our bedsheets .... Clean sheets put on bed already ... yea! No doing it at bedtime! Put clean rugs from dryer into bathrooms I have the sheets in the dryer which will need to be folded & put away later and a load of darks washing. I have been a laundry maniac for a couple days and yet I still found a medium-largish load of darks once I grabbed what was in our bedroom hamper and added to the smallish amount I had in laundry room.

No laundry done now for 3 full days. ack!! Guess I threw a load of towels in day on Saturday night .... or Sunday am? Not sure, but hubby tells me this am that our daughter's wet bedding is on the floor of the laundry room because the towels in the wash smell bad and need to be rewashed. Go in there and sure enough he did not start them up. That was information for me to take care of because he might've spent an additional 10 seconds in the laundry room getting those towels started.
So today I just need to do a total round up of dirty laundry from all rooms and work on washing. I can kick myself for not getting any done for the last 3 days. But I knew I was going to bomb on all things in the house going back to work on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Today is my 1 day off this week. Next week I only get Monday off also. So I need to recoup and get myself in check so I am not doing 20 loads next Monday!

As I promised myself last night, I have folded/hung & put away a load of darks this afternoon that I dried last night. They were all belonging to 1 child in the house.
I gathered up darks belonging to hubby and I and have in wash. Need to go put in dryer.

Got my first load of darks folded/hung and put away. Washed a 2nd load of darks. They're in dryer now. Rounded up enough towels to wash a load.
Heading to bed soon so will ask hubby to swap the loads.

I got 2 loads washed and dried yesterday. I folded and put away the one that had been hanging out in the dryer for a couple of days. Got One load done from start to closet yesterday and have one calling me from the dryer right now to be folded and put up. Will be doing an odds and ends load today sometime. Where do single items like one top sheet, random washcloths, and socks come from? I can see the clean balled up socks since mister Tommy my cat is a sock thief.
