An Uphill Battle

I feel like we have an uphill battle in our house on a daily basis.... The enemy.... laundry and dishes.  You never seem to win.  The other day I cleaned up the kitchen and did dishes and ran the dishwasher to make room for me to make some dinner.  Then what happened.... I made the whole thin dirty again and the sink was full of dirty dishes.  Now it is not like I am a gourmet chef and I whipped up something exciting and got a great reward for all these dirty dishes.  It just never ends.  Same with the laundry.  With 5 people in the house and three active little kids, we are always facing a mountain of laundry.  I have taken to trying to wear something several times before I put it in the laundry pile.  So when you see me out with a spit up stain on my shirt, sorry about that, it could be from today or from last time I wore the shirt.  And don't even get me started on trying to match up socks for 5 people.  It takes forever.  At least Mateo and Sienna can load the washer and dryer at this point (except for the soap) and can transfer loads.  And I am sure that it will only get worse as they get older.  But maybe then we will have some helpers folding the laundry.
