how to do laundry
First get everyone's socks and shoes and coats on. Get two loads of laundry in the bags, get soap and quarters. Feed Henry. Get Stan's socks and shoes and coat back on. Put Henry in the Moby wrap. Walk s-l-o-w-l-y down the stairs, out the door, and over to the laundry room. Put the laundry down, unlock the door and put the laundry inside. Go find runaway Stan and make him come back to the laundry room. Put the clothes in the washer and let Stan put the quarters in. Go to the playground. Plan to play for ten minutes and then spend twenty trying to get Stan to come down and go back to the laundry room with you. Put the clothes in the dryer and let Stan put the quarters in. Go home, feed Henry, feed stan, put socks and shoes and coats on. Go back to the laundry room as slowly as possible with two clothes baskets. Leave one basket in the laundry room and carry one load back to the appartment in the other. Go back to the laundry room, this time fighting Stan's laundry fatigue and desire to play on all the tricycles along the way. Get the other load and come back. That's it.
Six trips: Laundry room -playground -laundry room-home-laundry room-home.
That's if there are two machines available at once, and if we can get by doing only two loads. Every once in a while it's nice enough that we can go to the playground during the dryer part and I can feed Henry outside and we pack a picknick lunch for stan.
The thing about laundry is that it's not just henry's little jammies that make the extra wash, it's my clothes. Every shirt gets spit up or something on it, and he often pees when I change him or give him a bath, and only sometimes am I quick enough to not get it on my clothes, so there goes another outfit. And since I dont' fit in most of my regular clothes and sent most of the maternity clothes to my sister, it doesn't take long before all my clothes are used up and it's time to do laundry again. Phoey.

Make Scott buy you a washer and dryer for the house, or whatever it is you are living inside. That's too much work for clean clothes.
