Airing My Clean Laundry

I have a laundry problem.  I should make that a more accurate statement...I have a putting-laundry-away problem.  I can get it clean, even folded.  But it sits around forever after that, because I "don't have time" to do the next step.  Then it gets to the point that I have to put it away because my stacks are going to fall over onto the floor or onto Eliana, or Christian runs out of socks in his drawer, or I can't find any pants for myself because they're buried three loads deep in a pile on our bed. Well, today I stood up to my problem and tackled it head on.  I put away all the clean clothes I could find (and they were scattered all over, from school room to living room to our room).  I was determined especially to put away the clothes that were in our bedroom; they were taking over the bed and the dresser-the top of the dresser, not the inside where they are supposed to go.  It took a while, and I felt really motivated and even swept under the dresser, bed, and other furniture in the room.  The whole experience was quite satisfactory.  Michaela was sweet and kept Eliana entertained while I did this (does this count as home ec?).  And when I was done you will not believe what I found in my room! I had forgotten that was there!
