Laundry, the Hidden Evil

I came to a strange realization yesterday. Laundry is meant to drive mothers crazy so that they'll lose their minds and not notice that their lives are passing them by. You do laundry (4 or so loads), you wash, dry, and fold. If you are having a really bad day a few things that need to be ironed find their way in too. It takes all day because each load takes about 30 minutes to wash and an hour to dry. Some people are lucky enough to have a laundry room where their cleaned clothes just sit in baskets all the time and the family knows to just pick it out of the basket. I am not one of those lucky souls. My washer and dryer are located in my downstairs bathroom. So when I do laundry it takes over the bathroom until it is done. After using up my entire Monday doing laundry I find that the basket is filled again on Wednesday. How many clothes are these people wearing? Are they secretly putting on two pairs of underwear at a time? Who decided that I'm a bad mother if my kids are wearing dirty clothes? Why are my children and husband such slobs? Do they have holes in their bottom lips? How do working moms get their laundry done? It takes up half my week! I have finally come up with a solution. All those hours of doing laundry gave me plenty of time to think about this. Robots. Yes robots. We need robots who would do laundry. My dream would be a robot who would do laundry AND clean my house while I sleep. I would wake up every morning to a clean house and a full closet. I know, it's a big dream but somewhere there has to be a scientist working on this right? It's not like there are other more important things scientists are working on. Disease? Famine? Global Warming? This is WAY more important! Maybe they could also throw in a cooking program too.
