Help Wanted

One slightly desperate individual needed to assist with laundry duties in my home. On a light day, there are 3 loads to wash, dry, and fold. Light ironing of school uniforms a must. There will be days when there are 10 loads or more. Usually after I have been excessively lazy instead of performing my household duties for an extended period. This normally only happens once a week, sometimes twice if there has been good TV on. On occasion there will be ants "hanging out" in the clothes, don't be frightened, it only takes one sting for you to get the hint. Sometimes, you might come across clothes that are still folded, I like to think they are keeping the dirty clothes company. You will come across lots of socks, bathing suits, and towels, that do not belong to my family. This is somewhat normal, plus as I always say, "finders keepers". Squeamish individuals need not apply, as "skid marks" are a regular occurrence as are crusty socks that resemble donuts. And, speaking of socks, we own 1,342 pairs of them. So, a pillow for your butt is required, since it takes approximately 3 hours to fold all of them. You're butt will thank you. Pay is once a month, in the form of cookies and Coca Cola.

Hi, my name is Ashley...

and I have a problem. A clothes problem! I have washed, folded, hung up, put away, and packed clothes since 6:30 and I have no more space. I still have 4 more loads to wash and fold. Not to mention the largest pile of socks on earth. It's amazing how much your sock hamper can grow when you do laundry! I now have a hamper and a basket full of socks and I still have to match them all up. The closets are packed, no one's drawers will close and I am almost out of hangers. I have no idea how I am gonna fit school uniforms into our limited drawer and closet space. For years I have complained about not enough room for clothes, and I finally realized that we have plenty of room, we just have too many clothes. I have packed 8 outfits and 2 sets of p.j's for each person, so I thought for sure that we would have some empty drawers and closets. But no, it's worse. Now I know why I am always behind on laundry, no where to put it. When we get home from Utah, I am doing a major clothes purge. Did I mention that we had a garage sale in April and that I gave away 4 garbage bags of clothes just today? Wow, I am just in shock.
P.S. packing for 6 people is harder than I ever imagined. If we ever get to go on our dream Hawaiian or Disney World vacation, we are bringing bathing suits and nothing else.... and I am not even kidding!
