I have 8 siblings (6 that still live at home - ages 7mos - 13years) so I can relate via my stepmom. When do you find time to scrub the toilets?? ;) Oh wait, that's what the kids are for!

Now if you'd work in some time for laundry you'll have it made!<BR/><BR/>During the 2 1/2 years that we had 15 people living in our house, we went through two washers and two dryers (not to mention triple wear on carpets, walls, dishwasher, etc.)and the laundry was going about 20 hours a day. We had (and still have) pretty rigid rules about who can do laundry when...it's the only way we can keep our sanity at Granny's House!Grannyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15155489905427660732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782442.post-7606347182457248782007-10-24T09:33:00.000-05:002007-10-24T09:33:00.000-05:00I like you schedule and how you have no exact times etc....it feels less overwhelming than mine. I need to do more laundry each day. We only have a family 5 of but I work outside the home full time and it is hard to keep up. <BR/>I was reading your post about family meals and the decrease in eating out, etc. I find even working outside of the home my family has a meal together each night. On soccer nights hubby takes the youngest to soccer and I make supper and it is waiting for them when they come home or I put something in the crock pot. It really all comes down in my opinion, to planning and especially meal planning. What a life saver! <BR/>I look forward on reading more of your blog - I stumbled across it from Organizing Junkie.Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15489176885921787076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782442.post-80941281296960541322007-10-23T22:18:00.000-05:002007-10-23T22:18:00.000-05:00To bad we couldn't form a laundry club where we could talk about improtant stuff like shoes and Dancing with The Stars while we stood around folding.

I am getting initiated to the laundry piles of a family of 7 recently! One of which is our little newborn girl. So why do I feel like my laundry pile has doubled since she was born 6 wks ago?<BR/><BR/>Also, this wonderful autumn weather we've been having has been dry, dry, dry. So when the kids come in from playing in the backyard, not only do I have filthy clothes to wash, I also have filthy kids to bathe, sometimes twice a day.<BR/><BR/>No wonder I don't feel like I'm getting anything else done. I'm not even getting the laundry DONE. Is there such a thing as being done w/ laundry?<BR/><BR/>I'm glad I read your blog. I actually thought there was something wrong w/ me because I'm not keeping up very well.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for writing. Keep up the good work. <BR/>P.S. I'm becoming like my mother, too! Hmmm.Deborahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02334253316283014460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782442.post-14795211957643446462007-10-23T21:06:00.000-05:002007-10-23T21:06:00.000-05:00I do laundry every day also. Just when I think I have it all completed I find someone that hasn't brought their laundry to be washed. The never ending cycle. Having kids in sports doesn't help either. That is an awesome chart. I need to make one like that. I can also totally relate to the scrapping incident. Too funny.Melodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10852837971823569040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782442.post-72009550843002774192007-10-23T19:05:00.000-05:002007-10-23T19:05:00.000-05:00Oh, you love laundry as much as I do.....NOT.Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08247035131903329580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782442.post-29281542856128130102007-10-23T16:31:00.000-05:002007-10-23T16:31:00.000-05:00LOL! Katherine, I thought I had it hard with a 3 day laundry week. I'm still working on delivery though. Doing it is easy enough. They all know how to fold and put away their clothes and yet there are those who tell me they've put their clothes away and I find them piled high atop their chest of drawers, clearly not put away. Hmmm...perhaps we're having a miscommunication on what "put away" really means?My Pink Boutiquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08671800907463792864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782442.post-48936443045370647862007-10-23T14:19:00.000-05:002007-10-23T14:19:00.000-05:00I can totally relate to having few outside interests as well as feeling like my real job is that of a laundromat worker.

I only have a two year old, so mine is actually more boring than yours! (I actually broke out my laundry to - put clothes in washer (morning), move to dryer (afternoon), fold and put away (evening), because I am THAT much of a procrastinator!

I totally understand the laundry quandry...my husband has been doing the laundry the past few weeks since he's been home from Iraq and he's amazed at how it NEVER seems to get done. He even mentioned cutting everyone down to two towels a week! Like that'll work...lol!
