It is no mystery that I am a little neurotic. I like to do things in certain ways and I believe that everything has a place and it should be in that place. At times, this effort can be futile with two small children and a husband at home. One thing that I still maintain some control over is the laundry; or at least the method in which it is completed.
Laundry is a never ending task in this house, much like yours, I am sure. I normally begin the process on Sunday and it may end on Thursday. I have no specific way of washing and drying, other than the usual separation of colors and towels. I do, however, have a certain method of putting the laundry in it's proper place.
Once the laundry is dry I throw it on the master bed. The items are then sorted by owner and there is a "linens" pile. So I have a pile for Little Man, The Babe, the adults, and towels. I then take it to the appropriate place and put it away. This sounds a lot more time consuming than it is but it works for me.
The adult clothes are usually put away last and while doing so I separate those that need to be folded versus hung up. This is all so exciting isn't it? Well today as I was hanging up my clothes I realize that two shirts I had placed in my pile were actually Little Man's.
I was freaking out. Not because they were not "in their place", but because during separation I actually thought they were mine! I know his growth is inevitable, especially with a Grandaddy that is about (or once about) 6' 6" and another two that were over 6' 2" with the width to match. What freaked me out is that one day, if he were my daughter that is, we could share clothes! One day he will not only be taller than me, but taller than hubs!
Hopefully while he is looking down at us he will still be looking up to us.
I too have a plan for laundry. I do it only on Saturdays throughout the school year. The washer and dryer runs all. day. long. When one load is finished the clean clothes are thrown on the bed and the folded at night while I watch something on TV. Every week I swear we will be going nekkid the following week because I hate laundry!!
It is unbelievable how fast our children grow. Hubby and I are short so maybe we won't have to worry about them getting too big on us.
