Potty Trained…

So I was noticing the other day (my daughter hasn’t worn a diaper in about 5 months or so now) that my normal laundry seems to be piling up!  The extra 2-3 loads a week that my diapers created for the 3ish years that Amelia wore cloth diapers never bothered me.  She is my only child so I didn’t really know any different since we never used disposables.  I don’t dislike laundry like many of my other mom friends – granted, I have one child and not 5-6 like some of them!!  I thought that I would *never* be doing laundry once we weren’t using cloth diapers anymore.  Wrong…..

I guess like anything else, I have slowly gotten used to doing less and less laundry and now that I just have 2-3 loads of clothes a week I have gotten spoiled.  I realized last Friday that I had 3 loads piled up in various collection areas around the house, PLUS I needed to do the sheets and blankets on the bed that my parents sleep on when they visit.  This seemed crazy to me since it really amounted to over a week of not doing ANY.  How did that happen??

Doing a load a day is certainly more work, but it forced me to not get behind.  Could *not* washing dirty diapers possibly have become a negative??  I suppose that is how everything stays in balance, one thing positive for a negative – I am sure most people would read this and think I am off my rocker…  I might have less laundry, but now that I don’t automatically do a load a day, I am slacking off.  I guess my husband will tell me when he reads this that I am never happy….sigh

Happy diapering everyone (unless your toddlers are using the potty, that is!)
