If I wipe the baby barf off....

Laundry...the bane of my existence. Who'd have thought that adding one child would increase the laundry load by 1000 percent? I used to be able to keep up with doing the laundry, but holy moly, there's too much laundry to keep up with. I find myself sorting through sort of dirty shirts thinking, "if I wipe the baby barf off does that count as clean?" I'm thinking not.
I find my clothes last on my list of things to wash. I think it relates to the fact that nothing fits quite right. I find myself lacking motivation to even wear clothes, unfortunately public nudity is frowned upon.
This line of thought makes me think of Mom, and other moms who have three kids in diapers at once, or some equally hectic timing of children. I wonder how they ever manage to keep kids in clean clothes. How do they do anything but change diapers and sleep? I feel like all I do is nurse, change poopy diapers (thanks antibiotics), wipe snotty noses and do laundry.
Thankfully, however, Hannah has recently decided that she doesn't have to eat at 3 a.m. And boy am I enjoying the sleep. She still wakes up and fusses around, but thanks to earplugs I just go back to sleep. Ahhhhhh sleep! Sleep makes everything better! : )
