Sheets

I may lose some of you here (cuz you know I have so many to lose).  I think of myself as fairly organized and clean.  I'm a flylady fan and try very hard to keep up with my routines, weekly home blessing hour and such.  If you don't know what I'm talking about, you really should check out www.flylady.net, I absolutely love it.  Anyways, there's one thing I struggle with.  Well, one thing I'll talk about today...Sheets.  I read the other day that if you take a shower at night, you can probably get away with washing your sheets only once a week, if not, you should wash them every three days.  Are you freakin' kidding me?  Who has time to wash sheets every three days?  I've even tried to do the once a week thing and it seems ridiculous to me.  I mean, I sleep in them and then I wake up and shower.  Well, most of the time I shower.  Okay, the further along I get in this post I'm starting to sound like a real grunge type.  But it's such a PAIN to change the sheets, especially on the kids bunkbeds.  Confession time:  sometimes I can't remember the last time I changed their sheets.  Luckily, they shower before bed, but they are gross boys who smell a majority of the time so I realize this is just plain nasty.  Not really sure where I'm going with this post, I think I just need to hear that I'm not the only one who thinks washing sheets is just a big pain in the butt.  I enjoy nice clean sheets just as much as the next person, but I like them so much better in a hotel where someone else does all the dirty work!  That's it, I need a housekeeper.  I suppose this is one of those things that I'll do someday when my kids are grown up and I long for the crazy days that have passed.  I'll wash my sheets every three days.  Someday.

  1. I am there with you!!!! I HATE washing, folding, changing, etc SHEETS!! My boys also have bunk beds and it is a PAIN to change them, the girls used to as well and then I really didn't change sheets often!!! LOL!!!

    I consider myself successful if I wash and change them once a month - I know, gross maybe, but just the honest to goodness truth!!!

    So - NOPE you are not alone!

  2. With you 100%. I am exactly the same way. Think of how eco-friendly you are being, though! Washing sheets every 3 days? Or even every week? That's a lot of wasted water, in my opinion. So...just say you are being eco-conscious - especially considering we live in an almost desert. :)
