10 Thoughts You're Inevitably Going To Have On Laundry Day

Let me start this out by mentioning I love organizing. I love having my things neat and tidy so it's easy to find and grab whatever I may need. Laundry, on the other hand, is a daunting and endless task and I can't figure out the science of perfecting it. Sometimes I consider hiring someone to complete this endless task but I will never pay anyone to do the things I'm fully capable of. I am fairly certain that it will eventually lead to my insanity. I know, big things to look forward to but for now, here are some thoughts me, and the majority of other laundry folders have while doing laundry.

1. Today is laundry day. I have mentally prepared myself this time to expect the unexpected and get it All Done!

Goes to the laundry basket, sees it's full, falls on floor and cries. Gets up.

2. Well, I was going to carry this all down in my arms but never mind!

Finds the closest bin and swaddles up clothes so no socks go missing on the way to the laundry room.

3. Is there REALLY more laundry in this freakin' washer?! And clean ones in the dryer? There are literally two full loads of clean clothes I need to fold and now I'm adding four more. I guess I'm devoting my day solely to laundry. Sorry gym, social life, anything else I enjoy.

Gathers all the laundry, separates colors, starts to wash the FOUR EXTRAloads, one color section at a time.

4. If I'm going to fold all this laundry I'm going to do it right. First I'll separate by shirts, pants, undergarments, etc, and them move on to who's clothes are what.

Throws significant others oversized shirt into own pile for maximum comfort sleepwear. Noticing towers of clothes in piles; beings to fold.

5. Am I really not doing this with a glass of wine and no tv? Why should I torture myself by folding this without some liquid strength and catching up on recent reality tv?

Get's glass of wine, returns to folding while watching a drama that I'm not personally involved in!

6. Okay, done with the shirts. I'm seriously confused as to why there is this much laundry from one week. Is there a third and fourth person living here that are wearing our clothes?!

Takes a break. Folding is exhausting.

7. Why do none of these socks have a match? Does my dryer have a personal vendetta against my socks?! Is Harry handing them out to free elves?? What is happening???

Finds more socks in shirts, balled up in towels, between the washers, etc. Puts on another load of laundry.

8. I'm not matching all those right now, you can all go in the corner socks. I'll come back to you later. Will folding and sorting never end? Is this my own personal laundry hell? I'll do better I promise!

*Four weeks later* Socks are still there.

9. Why is this so exhausting? Can I count this as an arm workout? I can't lift my arms anymore!

Keeps folding clothes until piles are too tall and folding over. Get's frustrated over clothes towers falling.

10. I'm putting these away and will finish later. I probably won't. I'll come back to it tomorrow when I have further prepped myself.

Throws clean clothes back in hampers; returns them to the laundry room to lay in wait for the day they may be folded.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
