Meet the laundry room

I was thinking this morning about how much time I spend a day on laundry. I would say that I average about 3 loads of laundry on any given day. If I dare to skip a day, ohhhhh. Let’s just say I try not to. I have some obsessive compulsive tendencies, and my laundry happens to be one of them. Nevermind that I sweep and mop my floors (and vacuum the rugs) every single day– that’s a post for a different time. Today, I’d like to introduce you to my least favorite room in my house. Bloggy friends, meet the laundry room. Laundry room, meet my bloggy friends:

I am just thankful that I don’t have to go to a laundry mat– been there, done that. But this room? Is the ugliest in my house. I think I loathe it. I store too many things in it, the linoleum is awful, and there’s a huge freezer that has no food in it. Nevermind that there is a huge hole in the drywall, we inherited the hole when we bought the house.

I am obsessed with fabric softener. I love bleach. Put those two together and I am in heaven. I could sit all day smelling my laundry. I hang my clothes on the line when it’s warm. I wash all the sheets in the house on Tuesdays. Bella loves to help put the ingredients in the machine. And, when I go once a month to the laundry mat to wash comforters, I can’t leave and come back when they are done. I put a chair right in front of the machine so that I can watch the clothes spin and wash. I love it! It’s better than television.

I thought I’d post this info so that you have further proof of how strange I am. So there. Are you convinced? You should atleast be convinced that I am having severe writer’s block.

That is all. :-)

If you get bored you are more than welcome to come and do my floors and laundry. I think we’re doing well if they get vacuumed and mopped once a week.

Well I made the mistake of buying a white comforter– I sort of set myself up for having to wash it once a month. You know, sticky fingers, jello, juice, etc… :-)

Oh, and my entire house is only 1400 sf, so that makes sweeping, mopping, and vacuuming really easy! ;-)

I am beyond impressed with your laundry upkeep! You wash your sheets once a week and comforters once a month? I love you. You are SO who I want to be. Seriously, I have that goal to do sheets once a week, but it never happens. And you’ll never catch me at the laundry mat… I would love it though… a good book in front of a washer would be heaven.

The kids are entertaining their father at the moment and I have a few moments to myself. How do I spend them? Sitting in front of my laptop, drinking a Diet Dr. Pepper, and reading your archives. Now if that doesn’t certify me as a weirdo, then perhaps the fact that I do laundry everyday and I love it will huh? Can you believe I was excited when the washer broke down the other day and my DH insisted on buying a new one? Wooohoooo here I come appliance heaven (otherwise known as Sears)!!!
