It's gonna be a two-pot day

Mondays, it's just tough to get moving.  I've been meaning to put away the laundry since Friday.  With a family as big as ours, the washer and dryer run almost constantly.  At the end of the week, I dump all the clean laundry out on my bed to sort into baskets according to each items' owner.  Bigger children and adults put away their own clothes in their respective closets/dressers, and the I put the little girls clothes away.  Every week, I dump the big laundry pile on the bed fully intending to sort it that day.  Every week, I spend another two days dumping the pile on the floor at night and re-piling it on the be the next day.  

We have a lot of clothes, let me tell you.  For reference, that is a king-sized bed supporting the pile, and a standard-sized two year old in front of it.  There are two more loads down in the basement being washed and dried, and two more loads directly behind me in the hamper, plus plenty of stuff still clean in closets.

Also for your consideration is our permanent sock basket.  The intention is to get all the clothes put away, and then come back and match the socks later.  Later, however, rarely comes, and most mornings there is a pack of small children rummaging through the basket looking for socks.
