I don't mind the actual washing and drying part of the laundry; it's the putting it all away that throws things off track. That, and when I forget to actually start the dryer, you know. <BR/><BR/>Dishes are worse. Laundry is on Mondays (because a load a day is just Purgatory). Dishes are at least every day.

Because it SUCKS royally, that's why! And the worst part is matching up the FREAKIN' white socks. It is definitely the 7th circle of hell. Or 10th. I don't remember my Dante. College was too long ago. Remember college? You just bought NEW socks (and undies) so you didn't have to DO wash. Sorry. I sound like a bitter housewife.

I don't mind laundry at all (if you don't count having to refold every single bloody item in my husband's closet before I can put away the clean laundry, that is. That I mind. A lot.).
