PROJECT 365- Day 136 - Battle with "The Basket"

PROJECT 365 - Day 136 - Battle with "The Basket"

I'm not sure how it happened.  But the darn basket is full again.  I swear I just washed towels, socks, and underwear.  I swear I just folded them and put them away.  But somehow, the hamper was full again today and I needed to wash another load.  I make a conscious effort to wash, dry, fold clothes and put them away in a prompt manner..... I usually do that.  But for some reason, the towels, socks, and underwear are my nemesis.  I wash, dry, and pull it all out of the dryer straight into the laundry basket..... then it sits there mocking me.   I don't mind laundry in general.  Although I do wonder if the children and My Wonderful Husband are plotting against me and wearing things for 30 seconds then dropping them in the hamper only to wear something else....  Seriously it seems that the hampers are full before I finish washing what was already in there.  It's a mystery to me.  But "the basket" of towels, underwear and especially socks...UGH!!!  I really hate the socks.  They all look the same, but they are not the same.  So you have to pick through and figure out which belongs to who.. This is not a job that I enjoy.  The kids do help with this frequently.  Especially if "the basket" sits for a couple of days and they realize that if they want socks and underwear they will need to help go through this pile.   I know that you are thinking that this might be motive after all..... perhaps.... but in this battle with the basket, I need all the help that I can get.
