Piles of clothes

How do we wear so many different pieces of clothing in one week? I swear we did laundry ALL weekend and most of the day Monday too! I was a bit behind, but seriously ... load after load after load! And yet, I only have 2 pair of jeans that I wear anymore and Steve has only 1 or 2 too! My biggest contribution was my sweatshirts. I wear them a lot and I have a lot of them. I often wear them more than one day, so I pile them on the end of my bed for another day. But I had gotten to the point where they were all piled there so they all had to be washed (literally about 8-10 hoodies). And then there is the girls ... seriously do there wear 3 outfits a day? Anyway, last night at dinner, the "laundry" piles got brought up. One of the ladies recently heard an organization "expert" speak. During some Q&A, my friend asked what the lady does with her clean clothes. The answer: dumps them on her bed until she folds them that night. Isn't that what we ALL do? Mine get piled in hampers at the end of my bed until the girls put their clothes away and Steve or I get to ours. But last night, it was about 6 loads worth of clothes and that doesn't include the 3 or 4 loads that actually got put away on Saturday and the 2 or 3 loads of towels, sheets etc that had been put away too. Where does it all come from? With all the technologies we have today, can't there be one that hangs up or folds clothes and towels as they come out of the dryer? That's a dream come true in my book! Note: Rather than go to bed and ignore the clothes and even over watching the BYU Basketball game, I put away all of mine and Steve's clothes, and folded all the girls' clothes so they can easily pu them away! Proud of myself for not just going to bed ... this time. :)
