Photo Challenge... Day 8

a bad habit
so... today i'm airing my dirty clean laundry
i'm not sure when this started... maybe sometime in june of 2008?
i don't know... that's just a guess.

LAUNDRY
i don't have an issue sorting, washing, moving, drying, or even folding
(although i don't really enjoy any of the above)
my issue or BAD HABIT is... PUTTING IT AWAY

i do most of my folding and sorting on our bed
i make lots of neat piles... jace's clothes, jaron's, towels, scott's t-shirts, 
stuff that needs hung up, comfy pants, socks, etc.
then... i leave it
on our bed
you know... for the right moment... 
for when i FEEL like putting it in the right drawer, closet, or on a hanger
when i get the urge... 

for some reason... most days... i NEVER get the DESIRE
so
it stays on our bed
then...
10:30 rolls around and it's time for bed
well... 
by then it's too late
so i NEATLY (yep... NEATLY) put all of the piles in a laundry basket,
PROMISE scott i will put them away TOMORROW, 
and i go to sleep!

tomorrow comes... 
i do laundry
sort and fold on our bed... 
and
well... you get the idea

10:30 rolls around and now we have TWO laundry baskets full of CLEAN FOLDED laundry

and i promise scott that TOMORROW i will put it away...



 folded clothes placed on floor last night

clothes ready to be folded

nicely organized piles of CLEAN clothes

 the goal... empty laundry basket!

 oh my!



BONUS bad habit... 
just for my mom!  
aren't you proud!

for cryin' out loud... who runs this joint anyway???

I hate putting away laundry, too!
In college my roommate and I made sticker charts for ourselves and we would give ourselves stickers "when we did a good thing" like eating healthy, going for a run, getting to bed on time... and putting our laundry away the same day we washed it. There was awhile where I would just keep wearing the same clothes over and over because I would take them out of the clean laundry basket, do wash when the basket was empty, then start the cycle over again.
Maybe we're related...
