For the next nine weeks we're down to one kid at home, and I'm convinced that we have more laundry now than we ever did when everyone was living at home. My theory is that we as parents have been saving up all our dirty clothes until they were all gone so that (a)our clothes didn't get mixed in with theirs, and (b) we could be sure the washing machine and dryer were actually clean before we put anything in them...with five boys, it's amazing what kinds of things turn up in the laundry room!
