Year 2 ~ Day 11: Laundry Time...Yay! by arkworld.

I'm not too fond of laundry time. I don't mind the washing and drying part. Even the folding part doesn't bother me. We'll just pile the clothes up in front of the TV and fold while we are watching. It's the putting away of the clothes that I find to be a real drag. I have a hard time deciphering between Sydney's clothes and Jessie's clothes since they are similiar in size. And it just seems like there is never enough room in the drawers for the clothes we just washed. How does that happen?!?

Shot this one from inside the washing machine. That proved to be much harder than I was expecting. The camera and lens just barely fit in. There's not as much room between the sides and the middle column thingamabob.

Thanks for the idea Sarah.

Ha, I just came onto the computer from putting a load in the washer. I feel the exact same way you do, if there were only a place for everything! :)

PS I found that photophlow thingy you were telling me about, now if I only had some friends to chat with LOL

i devised a great plan to get out of laundry... i kept throwing everything in the same load... finally i was told if you can't separate the stuff just quit doing it... i don't have to be told twice...

Sweet... I love putting clothes away, but I hate folding them. We'll wash, you fold, I'll put away...

I couldn't agree with you more. The putting away is the worst part.

Stacey Woods says:

for us it's the folding that bites. my husband brings them out of the dryer and piles them up on our bed, just leaves them there and never tells me.... then when it's time for bed, surprise! we have all these wrinkled clothes to deal with.

extremely cool shot, pete. love the perspective. I'd NEVER have thought of this!

Donnie Herrington says:

Agitator... That's the middle column thingy. I also agree that the worst part is putting away. It's like making the bed, I'm just gonna mess it up again.
