Welcome to Aloha Friday!  This is a great chance to get to know each other by doing a little Q & A.  If you want to play along, visit An Island Life!

My question this week:

How many loads of laundry do you typically do a week?

I do laundry at least twice a week, and I probably wash 6-8 loads every week.  Which means I have to fold and put away 6-8 loads every week.  I enjoy having the laundry baskets empty, but they sure don’t stay that way very long!!

I would say about 5-6. I find that linens are what keep me ever washing...there's always a load of linens (towels, sheets, blankets) that need washing. ARRGGHHHH! :)

And yes, I was sad that now my baby looks like a little boy. But he's still cute as ever...just so grown-y looking now. :)

Hmm I would say maybe 3 loads. One for Savi, whites and colors. Not to bad, I am sure that will expand as our family does;)

Yikes. Laundry never seems to end! I'd say probably 4-5 loads on average. It would help if Jacob did not want to wear the same 2 shirts and 2 pairs of pants each week! ;-)

Hmm, good thing its not "How many should we do?" lol. I do probably 3 loads a week. Now, putting them away is another thing....

Not sure -- I try and do a load a day -- that means wash dry and put away. So I can keep up with it. With 3 kids laundry piles up quick.

I used to be good about it and would do one load every other night, now I've neglected the laundry and end up doing 5 or 6 on the weekend. It sucks because it feels like it takes up the entire weekend.

None! My husband does all of the laundry!! Isn't that neat! But I have to fold the clothes. So I fold about 4-5 loads a week. lol

I'm late with my Aloha Friday!

I probably do between 6 yo 8 loads a week. Plus my husband always does 1 load of his work clothes. I can't guarantee that all of those loads always get folded and put away... at least they are clean!

I only do my own laundry (I have no family) and I do 2-3 loads every 1-2 weeks.

About 2 a day so 14 a week. I'm not kidding. It's madness.

I loathe laundry. I am embarrassed to say I probably do about 7 loads. We do at least one load a day, sometimes 2.

Jennifer said…
Sadly, 21! 3 loads a day. *sigh*

Erin said…
i would say at least 2 loads a day. sometimes none. but typically about 2. making it at least 14 in a week depending on what linens make it in there in that week.
putting it away is a longer story.

Too darn many! lol I'd say at least 4 loads a day...ugh!

Well, in my attempt to keep "the laundry room" from not becoming a "mountain" again, I only do laundry once the 2 or 3 laundry baskets of clean clothes are already put away. lol And that takes a few days usually. SO, I'd say 2-4 loads a week (one is usually still in the dryer lol).

I do 3 load every day of the week. 3 times 7 =21! I knew it was bad, but now I type it, it sickens me.

At least this time of year I can hang my laundry outside!

We met you in May of 2004 at the Humane Society. You were the only dog who could have cared less that there were humans walking around.  While all the other dogs barked and barked at us, you lay on the floor curled up and awake, yet quiet and uninterested.  We almost passed you by but after mentioning you to one of the employees they said you were a good boy and that we should take you out for a walk.  Once outside you perked right up and wanted to sniff everything and explore and didn't seem at all like the dog you were inside.  We were hooked. We agreed to take you home and took care of the necessary arrangements.  Your name was Champ because the Humane Society had picked you up on the side of the road, very injured in what they assumed was a fight with another dog.  We were told you were maybe two years old at most.  The Humane Society fixed you up and you healed like a, well, like a champ.  We decided to rename you Baxter. We brought you h...

I’m more than just a stay at home mom.  I read. (see, the stack has grown since last time I showed this picture) I watch television. I exercise. I floss every day.  I go out with girlfriends. I spend time with my husband. I pay attention to current events.  I enjoy cooking. I enjoy drinking wine. I enjoy cooking while drinking wine.  I love trivia games. And Boggle. I make sure most of the food we have in our house is healthy. I love music. I am silly. I am serious. I DON’T like to be scared (meaning that my husband really needs to let me know when he comes home unannounced in the middle of the day and just lets me come downstairs to find him standing there staring at me like a criminal because for a split second I was sure he had just broken in  and that is the ONLY reason I screamed bloody murder and about lost my lunch before realizing who it really was). I am anxious. I am focused. I like schedules and routines. ...

Except Death and Taxes and School Pick Up Problems

Dear you, Hi there! We haven't met so I thought I would introduce myself.  I am a mom of two, a fifth and a third grader, at the school our kids attend.  You might recognize my car, as you drive by it nearly every day when you pass me (and plenty other parents) 10 minutes before school gets out to park at the very front of the pick up line. In a spot that is not a spot. Genius!  I mean why should you get to school early like many of us other parents do and park appropriately in the pick up lane when you can just come nearly at the last minute, go around a line of 30 vehicles, and park in a spot that is not a spot? Why didn't I think of that? You probably have special circumstances.  I'm sure you think that NOBODY else in the pick up lane,  many of whom have been sitting there waiting for 30-45 minutes have ANYTHING better that they could be doing with their time. I especially loved the day that you were parked there and ran over to grab your child and...
