Table For Seven

Before
Isn't this what everyone uses their pool table for? I had a hard week with the laundry... I just couldn't see to get it all under control this week. I don't mind gathering and washing it all but I don't like putting it away. So I normally wash once a week (Monday) Simply because I like to have it ALL done at once. I don't like a pile of towels here and an odd sock there. So if I really crack down I can get it all done in one day. I hang all the clothes and then sort the towels/socks/undies into 3 baskets. One for the girls, one for the boys and one for us. Then in the evening everyone works on his/her basket. It usually works well and saves me a lot of time.


After

When I was thinking about this post I decided to throw a little math into the blog, David and Zane will be so proud.
By doing laundry once a week, it means that on one day I wash:

49 pairs of pants
49 shirts
49 underwear
98 socks
20 towels ( we air dry and reuse them, 'cause we're green like that)
49 washcloths
about 20 pairs of PJ's ( I greatly encourage re-runs in the PJ dept)(bribery has even been known to happen on this one)
10 sheets
10 - 15 dishtowels

That's all assuming that each person only wore one outfit a day.......
Whew! I'm tired and it's not even Monday
