Six!!??!!

My big goal this weekend was to get all laundry washed, dried and put away. It doesn't happen often, but I thought if I put my mind to it,maybe I could manage it. I was almost there when Kara got in the shower (in the middle of the day, which means she will probably be asking me to straighten her hair later). After she ran out of hot water, she walks out of my bathroom with two towels, one around her and one on her hair. She immediately grabs a bathrobe and puts that on. I then walk into the bathroom and find: one, two, three, four; FOUR towels on the bathroom floor. Two of them were still folded but all wet.

At my house we don't usually reuse towels. It is a hang up I have. I can reuse a towel, but it requires paying attention to what part of the towel is used to dry different parts of my body, because I don't want to dry my face with the same part of the towel I used to dry my feet, or other parts yesterday. I know it is weird, but it just is who I am, if I have easy access to a washer and drier I only use a towel once before washing it. So I suppose my children haven't been taught adequately on towel usage. But can someone please tell me how in the world you could use six towels for one shower. When I asked Kara her response was, "yea, yea, yea, I know..." Do you realize that it takes an entire load of laundry to wash 6 towels? Which means that the chances of reaching my goal for the weekend is not likely.

I say it's time for her to learn to do her own laundry...that will change things quickly :)

I say that, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't follow through.

Here's hoping you can get close to your goal.
