...LAUNDRY!!! I can not stand it! I feel like I have to do laundry every second of every day or I get behind. When ever I start feeling like I am doing good and can relax, I get behind. No fun! Anyone have any great tips on how to make laundry fun or easier??

no suggestions here! I know exactly how you feel. I can never have all laundry done. i feel your pain.
the only way i can handle laundry is this: i only do the wash one day a week. i choose that day based on my favorite t.v. show: the office. so i do laundry all day on thursday so that after the kids are asleep by 8, i pile up the clean clothes next to me on the floor in fron to of the t.v. and fold like crazy while i watch the office (or sometimes 'so you think you can dance') and then it's sorta fun. then i plop it in piles based on each drawer at the foot of each kids dresser and that is their chore before school the next day. that's how i do it.
Delegate the responsiblity out to your older girls. Have them help fold or at least fold their own clothes and put them away. Growing up, we each had a bin with our name on it and we were responsible for folding our own clothes and when we got older, we were responsible for washing them ourselves. my mom worked and just didn't have time to do EVEryone's laundry.
Angela, unfortunately I feel the same way you do. I've heard "Just fold it and put it away as it comes out of the dryer", that's all well and good if I was home all the time AND if that's the only thing I had to do that day, which seems to be every day. My kids usually don't watch T.V. unless they are folding clothes. It works pretty well.
disposable (after one use) clothing?? wouldn't that be nice! my biggest issue is folding it, i can throw it in and switch it and lug it upstairs and then it sits in my room for like a week getting more and more wrinkly! maybe you should give yourself a little reward for doing a few loads or something. i have a friend who lets herself buy a new itunes song when she cleans all 3 of her bathrooms :)
Some people in my house think a little fairy comes and cleans the clothes then magically puts them away...but I know otherwise! I have divided my laundry into 2 days, I wash whites on Tuesdays and the rest on Friday. Friday nights we usually watch a movie with the kids so we all fold while we watch. I love that the kids are old enough to help! I don't know that it's fun...but it works for me and we usually have clean clothes to wear. :)
