OH GOD THE LAUNDRY
OK, it was wet at the end of last week, and we did almost no laundry on Monday, so that's part of it, but today we did MOUNTAINS and ACRES and the WASHING LINE BROKE and I want to know why laundry is such a vast part of my life.
Here's the tally, for one week:
Mine and Rob's bedding, one load.
Children's bedding, one load.
Towels, one load.
Nappies, four loads or so? Astrid got a clean nappy about 8am, then two more before 9 am, and one at about 9am. Nappies are srs bsns in this house.
Rob's clothes, we know from prior measuring (no, really) constitute a load a week.
My clothes are a bit less, and the children are probably a bit more between them, so that's two more.
There are also occasional duvets, one per machine load, cushions, fleece blankets, floor rugs, and so on, but probably no more than two Big Household Things loads a week? I'm guessing here.
So that's eight loads, plus nappies, most weeks? I suppose if we got some dry every single day it would be do-able. I should probably try putting the children's clothes in a separate basket for a few weeks to see how much they really get through.
