I must admit, I've done pretty dang well keeping up with the "washing." And even have done well with the transferring of washing into the dryer before that musty smell kicks in. Austen needing Free and Clear laundry detergent pretty much demands that no load get to a musty stage. Because, free and clear detergent is free of good smelling chemicals that take the place of the musty smell.
Where I'm not doing well---is the folding and putting away. Surprised? I know! I have PILES. and PILES of clean laundry. My entire bedroom is like an artistic rendition of the Rockies via baby clothes, school uniforms, and all that random laundry that never really has a place to go. The only thing that ever really gets put away immediately are towels. Because the closet for the towels is 2 feet from the dryer. So i just pull out the towels, fold, place. so easy. That and we go through like 8 a day. And my family refuses to use the same towel twice, even though they are clean when they get out of the shower/bath and therefore the towel isn't dirty after one turn. bunch of lazy germaphobes.
So...I think I need a laundry folding party. Or someone to occupy my little ones for like 2-3 solid hours so that I can pound it out. I'm not even sure I can focus for that long anymore. Anyone else know what I mean. Lately, even when I'm alone, about 15 minutes is my max and then my mind goes "squirrel!" and I'm pulled to another task. Raising 4 under 5 has given me ADD or ADHD-what's the difference between those again? The point is, I used to be able to focus and now........now I have piles all over the place. I admit, I've never been totally organized, but at least I only had ONE pile. Simon is shouting in his sleep. I'm terrified that the moment I lie down, a baby will cry. Teething. Joys. I need a full size bed in the baby room--because someone should sleep in there. chris is usually on the couch these days and the babies are in my bed, and I'm either hanging on the edge, or on one of the levels of the bunk beds.
and SNAP, Carter is waking up for his midnight*ish feeding.

I am with you on the keeping up with the washing, but as for the clothes, I usually manage to sort them into each person's basket, and they can go from there.
