Ugh! It’s laundry day. I’m not the biggest fan of doing laundry. Well, let me be a little clearer. It’s not the doing the laundry that gets to me; it’s the putting away of the laundry that I despise. Sorting it out and tossing it into the washer and then the dryer is the easy part. Sometimes spot cleaning is a pain when you have kids but not a huge deal if you do it right when it happens. Folding, ironing, loading items onto hangers and stuffing drawers… yuck! I’ll pass. I know there are laundry services out there. I wonder if there is a service that would include putting it all away for me.
I remember when I was a kid and mom would gather us all of with probably six loads of laundry and we’d go to the local Laundromat. It was a big event for the day. We’d all pile into the car with the mounds of dirty clothes and head out. Mom would have us scope out a row of washers next to each other and load in the clothes. As soon as all of the washers were loaded, we walked next door to the Pick ‘N Save. We’d each get a dollar or so to spend on something small. About 40 minutes later we’d all head back and swap things out into the dyers. Then after the dryers, came the dreaded folding. Ick! I’m glad I don’t have too much to do today.
I feel the same way about putting up groceries when I get home from the store. I would love to have someone come home with me, carry the groceries in from the car and put them all away. Then leave. I would gladly pay them $10 to do that. It is such drudgery for me, but certainly not a good reason to consider getting married or a roommate. I’ll just go on dealing with it!

Oh yes me too! I always dread it the second I leave the register and start heading out to my car.
