Whoever said you can never have too many clothes obviously never had to put them away! I'm well on my way to purging anything that doesn't fit, isn't in fashion or is damaged; but these are just 2 weeks of my laundry that I actually wear!
As odd as it may sound, doing laundry is therapeutic for me. Something about sorting, cleaning and the simple folding relaxes me. When I was younger, I used to watch the water churn and slosh in the machine - I loved it! Putting the clothes in their separate wash loads; the noise and the water combined was so calming. I still love putting clothes up on the line - neatly lining them up, making the heavier items were on the end so that they don't pull on the line, then seeing the way they flutter in the wind. I fold everything and put them in organized piles on the bed. Then it comes time to hang up the shirts and skirts, and my love of laundry crumples. I HATE hanging up my clothes - and don't know why! It should be simple, right? I should be able to do it when I'm folding the others and putting away my pants and pjs. That's why i have this giant pile of clothes that I pull from or why it sits in a basket for 1 week while I deal with the messy room.
Possibly its because I have too many clothes and they don't fit in my closet and I have to squeeze them in the drawers. I think hanging and putting away the laundry would be the one chore I would have someone else do if I had the money. Well that and clean up the bathroom. If anyone has any tips and tricks, I'd be open to hearing them!!
