Laundry, Drop Clothes Here

Got caught with 4 c l e a n piles of laundry  in the house recently.  No time (or priority) to put them away.  They are in baskets, some plastic, some cute and some strategically placed or semi hidden around our small home.  At least they are clean.  I hope they knew they were clean.  They were folded.

We are a family of two.  How do folks keep up? Wash, fold, put away.  The put away part is the hardest.  I'm thinking that maybe we should donate whatever is in the dresser or closets?  No, 'cause we might wear that stuff sometimes.  Like if we go out at night to The Taj or a local comedy club.  We might wear that stuff if we need a sweet swimsuit cover at a pool or Caribbean resort.  We might need that stuff if we need a long sleeve shirt if it should get cold, or socks too if it's brutal out.

So there is the neat nicks frustration.  Mostly swimming upstream in the laundry whirl.

I do know that I've always changed my clothes several times a day.  Mom said I did this as a child too.   This adds to the dilemma.  Now, I have work clothes, walking in the park clothes, comfy clothes, and going to town clothes.  If I get a bit warm...bam!  I throw shorts on for a few hours...then since they haven't been worn that long, I can wear them again.  They then go into the in-between section.  This pile is carefully put together and layered (yes layered) in our master bathroom.  Somehow I don't see it anymore as I don't really want it there, but it is a "go to" when I can't find something to change into again.
