What you see here represents at least 11 loads of laundry. Some of which has been deposited here today and some of which has been in these baskets for about two weeks now. Some of you will look at this and think about the ensuing ironing from being crumpled for two weeks. Like my mom. My mom is something of a "militant ironer." She will iron for hours on end (and she doesn't even crumple for two weeks!). Impressive but I think I would rather walk barefoot on broken glass scattered over hot coals. Upon seeing this picture my mom would roll over in her grave, were she already dead. Thankfully she is not, so she will likely just shake her head and smile ruefully and think I am crazy and wonder what have I been doing for two weeks that prohibits me from folding 11 loads of laundry? Well, maybe I am more like my mom than we knew...I am thinking the same thing!!
The other issue that this photo brings to light is "what are we wearing if 11 loads of laundry reside in my living room?" Sadly, we still have plenty of clothes in our closets. Maybe I need to set aside my laundry folding problem and focus on my other problem first...a shopping addiction? I will say Husband #1 gets the worst of this and has to sort through the baskets to find clean underwear. Maybe I should just buy him more underwear and then I don't have to feel bad about it?! However, being the great husband he is (and why I am still on #1) he does not complain. Maybe he is just fearful he will be the one folding it if he complains. Either way, he is approaching sainthood in his tolerance of clean but unfolded laundry.
Well, maybe I should get off the computer and fold laundry!? Hmmm, that brings up a whole other problem I might have...internet addiction. Geez, I am a mess!

*laughs* I think it's called procrastination. It is a fairly serious disease. Scientists are still stumped for a cure. Maybe you need to round up some girl friends and the kids and get to it.. tomorrow.
Love it!!! We have similar issues in our house and I, like you, as you know, despise ironing too and see no problem with "crumpled clothes". What i want to know is do you still sit on the chair on top of all the unfolded laundry and try to pretend it doesn't exist - cuz i would do that! :) Good luck folding - Double A is old enough to help now, right?
Find a sappy flick and get it over with. Funny thing is, as I'm typing, to my right lies a giant pile of clothes that need to be folded. This evil machine!!!
