Nudist Colony???
After the last two weeks of laundry I am seriously thinking about signing the family up to join a nudist colony. I think it would really help on the amount of laundry that goes through our house. In the past two weeks I have counted each week how many loads of laundry we are doing. An experiment I wanted to try so that I could figure out why doing a load of laundry a day was still adding up to, being behind on laundry...ALL the time. So this is what my experiment yielded. You ready for this....
18 loads of laundry a week.
36 loads of laundry in 14 days!!!
So I am pretty much convinced that it's either a nudist colony or each person in the house hold only gets seven outfits total. One for each day of the week.
Oh and while we are on the subject of laundry. My genius husband who got so fed up with sorting socks...there are a lot of feet in this house...decided to start this new pinning system. Before anyone puts their socks in the dirty laundry they have to safety pin them together. This way they go through the wash as a pair and come out as a pair..no sorting socks. It has actually worked out great and saved a lot of time.

HOLY COW!!! Sure adds up. Course, you could do what grama barbara used to do to us. Send them outside with just their underwear on and then there's not much to get dirty or wash!! Course, we were out in the country!
Mallory and Rachel would perfer that. I think the nieghbors wonder if I ever put clothes on them. They are always out in the cul-de-sac playing with just a diaper or unders on.
Just in case anyone hadn't already guessed my vote, I vote for the nudist colony. Is my best invention really a way to keep myself from sorting more socks? Ouch. I need to get out more.
