Nothing to wear...

Well I'm only on day 7 of my Babysteps journey and I am already failing miserably. 2 of the steps thus far have included clothing, and laundry is one of my biggest challenges (note I said one of, because I have many).

Laundry in my house is typically in one of three states:
1) Feast or famine. I'm a marathon washer, I tend to wait until my mini vacations and wash everything in a 2-3 day period. Then I burn out and don't want to do laundry again until my next holiday break.

2) Wash and go. This is the most frequent state of clothing in our house. Hubby and I each dig through our laundry piles, baskets, and small islands and wash what will get us through the next couple days. Then the clothes typically live in the dryer until we wear it with a short fluff cycle each morning.

3)Interclothing relations. When we hit this stage Handy Hubby knows a meltdown in brewing and stays out of my way. Sometimes when I go on a laundry marathon and I don't get everything put away, my clean clothing can't keep themselves away from the bad boy dirty clothes. It's like my mom trying to forbid me from seeing the boyfriend she didn't like, it was futile, we always found a way to get together. So it all intermingles and then there is no way to tell what is clean and what is dirty, I am sure one of my dresses has been washed 4 times since I last time I wore it. Damn dress is a hussy though and always hangs out with the dirty clothes!

So FLYlady says I should be getting dressed to shoes first thing every morning, well it hasn't happened yet. I have nothing clean to wear and my shoes make my feet stink. My Babysteps yesterday was to set out my clothes for this morning as part of my bedtime routine. Well, I'm still in my clothes from last night, does that count? I suppose not. I'll work on the mountain of laundry and try to get to the point of having something clean to wear in the next week. I'll let you know how it goes.

Do you get dressed every morning to start your day or wait until you need to leave the house? Also, confess or brag about your laundry situation here I'm curious to know if everyone else is cowering from the laundry monster like myself.

Merry Christmas Eve, I'm off to sort the old toys to make room for the new ones!
