Laundry

I hate laundry.
I love clothes.
But, I hate laundry.
Who doesn't?
I cannot stay on top of it. 
Well...actually I should say, I cannot stay motivated to stay on top of it.
I am one lucky girl. Braden folds all of the clothes 99% of the time.
I am not so lucky in that I don't have my own washer/dryer and have to cart my laundry down to the laundry room.
And pay for it.
I use to only do laundry once a week for this reason. Resulting in a day of doing 6-8 loads. (The washers are tiny). 
Like I said, Braden folds.  
But the putting away is really what gets me.
I hate it. I mean, really hate it. 
I think even more than unloading the dishwasher. Which I guess, is the same type of thing.
Now I try and do it twice a week. Although it's not so time consuming, taking up the majority of a day, I still cannot seem to get them all put away before I'm needing to do another couple of loads. 
Suggestions? 
How can I make it seem like less of a "chore"?

20 minutes

I have to tell myself this period in my life is only temporary. In another 6 months, everything will be different... with my day to day schedule that is. Like most people, I think, I would love to have a set schedule. A set time to work out, a set time to craft, a set time to shower, heck, I might even schedule bathroom breaks. (Okay, so maybe most people aren't like that). But motherhood, as well as a husband who works a rotating shift, has obviously made me realize there is no "set" anything. I like when he's on a Monday - Friday day shift (6 - 2) best, but it seems like we only get that 1 week out of the month. The other weeks are swing shift (2 - 10) or graveyard (10-6am), and his days off could be anywhere. So not only do I have to adapt to my girls ever changing schedules, but to my husbands too. Woe is me, right?

No no, I have plenty to be thankful for, not trying to complain... and I'm getting to my point... Some days, and sometimes most days, my girls don't overlap their naps by more than 15-20 minutes. Sometimes Boston will take a cat nap after Brighton's gone to bed, which gives me another 20 minutes, and then I could stay up as long as I wanted after Boston goes down, but I'm usually pretty darn tired.

SOOOOO, what do you do for "you" time when you only have 20 minutes? A lot of those 20 minute breaks get filled with cleaning, laundry, etc., but I like to have something to look forward too every few days, and I can't think of anything I really WANT to do that only takes 20 minutes. I'm not a huge TV watcher... I guess I could read. But I tend to want to get a bowl of ice cream or something when I'm just going to be sitting, and that is b-a-d. So I want suggestions. What do you do?
 

Blog Questions

Couple of questions to all of my fellow bloggers.

#1. I want to turn my blog into a book to keep every year, and the software I originally downloaded doesn't work with blogger anymore, and really wasn't that good anyway. Does anyone know an easy, cute way to accomplish my book publishing?

#2. Why is it that you can enlarge some pictures and not others. I always thought it was because people downsized there pictures or something, but it seems that is not the case, and it is a mystery to a lot of people. Is it just a blogger error, or can someone shed some light on this for me?

Thanks friends!

PS. And you thought I was computer savvy.

Such a Wuss!

Did anyone else cry when Mike & Ron went to see their family (Biggest Loser) and the other brother Max started crying? So sad.
