Our has gotten so much easier to manage since our oldest has been doing his own laundry the past few years. We started that in 6th grade which seemed to work out well because that is the same time his clothes started to matter to him.

Love your blog!

I do mine on Sunday evening. We’re almost always home then. I’ve tried different days, but I have to make it work consistently at a time when we’re home. Wouldn’t laundry service be so great?

Oh yes, and I don’t wait ’til Sunday to relax…I work 3 ten-hour days so I snatch rest throughout the week. Due to light deprivation, naps are a must.

The thing I love about a ranch house is that laundry is on the same floor as where we do our living…so I usually change around laundry and try to fold a load in the am before I head off to work & take girl to school, or at night right before bed (am doing laundry now). I do not hire someone to do laundry, but I used to have someone come in and clean every other week. That went the way of SHG tuition, but it is my first splurge when things loosen up.

No kids yet, so after church Sundays are for Swifering, shopping and folding. We circulate the laundry during the week. The only way it works to leave everything for Sunday is the split the chores dead even … otherwise it would take all day.

Back when the husband and I were childless and both working full-time, we did all of our cleaning on Thursday nights as soon as we got home from work. We were always done by 8:00, which is when Must-See TV started on NBC. We’d eat dinner and relax once our shows started.

After getting all that cleaning done, our weekends were free for either big projects or for playing.

As for groceries. We usually went together on a week night after we’d already eaten dinner.
