I hate doing laundry. I’m actually really bad at it (read: indifferent) – and tend to hold off until that desperate moment between wearing dirty clothing and going commando at church. But no matter how hard I try to avoid it, I have to do it eventually, and I know it’s time when:
- the dirty laundry pile has started moving itself toward the laundry room.
- my daughter is wearing a pillowcase dress, that is actually more pillowcase than dress (I should probably cut out the arm holes at some point).
- everything is failing the sniff test.
- the underwear I fashioned out of saran wrap isn’t really cutting it. Neither is the wax paper thong.
- the hamper resembles a dirty Mount Everest.
- my husband says he’s tired of wearing his boxers with a belt in public (I’m pretty sure no one could tell those #1 dad “shorts” were actually boxers.)
- I’m praying I don’t get into a car accident, not because I don’t want to die, but because I don’t want the paramedic to see the state of my granny panties. (Then again, I fear this one even when the laundry is done.)
- I’m using my Marc Jacobs perfume to Febreze my outfit.
- we’re stuck using the flailing, air-dry method to dry ourselves off after a shower.
- my three year old daughter offers to do it. For real.
Actually, that last one tells me that I held out just long enough for someone to offer to do it. If only she had the manual dexterity to hold an iron.
I keep wishing if I wait long enough the Laundry Elves will come and do it at night. Sadly, this never happens.

Ha! You are too funny! Laundry is the bane of my existence…
Also, don’t forget the maxi-pad in the undies to extend their use! It’s definitely time to do laundry then!

Omg – i never thought of that one. *mental note*
Ha! I giggled through this…mainly because so many of these points are true!!! Although the sara wrap undies….never thought of that! Guess that’s more creative than fashion them out of a tea towel?!
You don’t ALWAYS go commando to church? You should try it sometime – you might like it. ;)

I keep a clerty pile (not 100% clean but not totally dirty) and pick out of that when things get tough but alas, even the clerty pile must eventually be washed.
Ha! Clerty pile – Awesome.
If I wait too long to get laundry done, my husband will take the initiative and throw some in the washer. No, I think you misunderstood – he throws his OWN laundry in the washer! Yeah! Like the rest of us aren’t worth the effort for clean clothes.
So I whined and cried and argued with him about it, and now he doesn’t do ANY laundry, no matter how badly he needs clean underwear.
GAH!

I hate laundry! It’s my least favorite household chore. When you resort to wearing bikini bottoms as panties, it’s time to start separating your whites from your colors in my world!
