Is it normal to do at least one load of laundry every day??? I am on my fourth load of laundry today, and I do at least one load of laundry on most days. I am convinced that my family produces an obscene amount of laundry! I am not complaining, I just want to know if there is something wrong with us!

There not all clothes loads either. I have dish towels, clorox loads, regular towels, I usually wash red things by themselves, etc.
That's pretty much the norm around here. I try to hold off as long as I can, though. I know it's been too long when I'm digging through Drew's t-shirts to use as jammies for Mary Des.
AMEN! I do laundry almost every day. I hate letting it pile up, too. Sometimes I think there is a monster in my hamper with a big, ugly grin, going "UUUUHHHAAAHHHH, I'm going to take over your bedroom if you don't wash me!"
I will say, if I can without everyone thinking I'm slandering my husband, that when he was out of town in May for a couple of weeks, I only did laundry 3 times (!) as opposed to almost every day... I told him, "Not to complain, but I do so much more laundry when you're here!" He's just a big guy like Jonathan, so his clothes take up more room in the washer/dryer I guess - haha. :) Have fun tackling the monster . . .
I think you are actually right on target with the laundry. I'm still trying to keep up with the FlyLady thing. Each month, she gives us a new mission. August's mission was "Do one load of laundry each day to keep up with it". I think she meant at least one load but the point was just to do something. You're not crazy, just up to speed with Flylady! It's still a struggle sometimes but I think our home is better off for it. Love you all. Glad you are feeling better. I want to come swimming!!
Lori- when new baby comes it will get worse, but you'll feel better, so it won't be so bad.. does that make sense?? My daughter Bethany (age 4) helps me do laundry- it slows the process but i figure it will help on down the line- even handing her the wet clothes to put into the dryer. husband clothes are bigger... but baby clothes are easily "lost" in my husband's shirts and pant legs. we just started homeschooling- if you need some info on preschool stuff for hannah in a few years or some good general books- let me know.
Sounds like a lot to me. Of course there are only two of us to worry about for the moment. But Mike produces way more laundry than I do. If he wears a pair of shorts for 30 minutes, he'll throw them in the pile instead of putting them away. But I'm lucky because he'll do our laundry, too, on occasion. Sometimes that's a bad thing, however! He doesn't like to read tags. And folding to him means roll it into a ball. I'm not talking socks, here. :)
