Rambling. At 7. am.
The art of time management is indeed a gift. One that I lack. (Case in point, I am here on my computer. Rather than, well, pretty much anywhere else.)
I have laundry to do:
I need to collect it all and smoosh it down the chute.
I need to sort it into piles of different color. (I think I do that wrong. I am pretty sure laundry should be sorted by material?)
I need to get a load in the wash, then remember to revisit the basement in 47 minutes to flip the load in the dryer.
Then in an hour, I need to remember to go back down and pull out the massive heap. (My mother in law tells me I put too much in. But she doesn’t get the rarity with which I do the laundry. I try to make the most of it.)
Then I sort it out by child or adult, putting the frocks in corresponding baskets.
At this time we will not be discussing taking the child’s or adult’s clothes upstairs to their rooms and eventually their drawers or closets.
Why does the seeming clear cut chore seem to be such an ordeal to me?
And why does my lack of domestic abilities make me feel utterly deflated?
And who knew I could fill a post (with 255 words no less) about the process of laundry and my inability (seemingly so) to keep up with it?
I think I need breakfast.
Applejacks are calling me. (Eat your heart our Neil.)

You need second floor laundry..or in your case same floor laudry for the matter. Then you can wash and “chuck” them into the hall for sorting and putting away. Although I am also guilty of waiting til it’s all dirty and having massage loads to content with…. fun!

I agree with Gina, I LOVE having the laundry room on the first floor, Its easier for me to remember to change the loads.. Not that I keep on top of my laundry mind you… but its still a great thought haha
