Slaying the Dragon; My battle with laundry

Every woman (man, child, cat, etc.) has a dragon to slay when it comes to chores.  
Cleaning the kitchen?  No big deal.
Getting dinner ready?  Piece of cake.
Taking out the trash? Ain't no thang.

But laundry.  
Oh my God, laundry, laundry oh my God.
I just can't.
I don't even understand where it all comes from.  
There are only TWO people.  Where is this mountain of laundry coming from?

That being said, I've done about 27 loads of laundry since January 3rd.  Why do I know that?
Because I make my own laundry soap and am trying to see if it's actually worth the time and effort.  We'll go into that another day.

For probably a week now, there has been a mountain of laundry on our love seat.
It is so much easier to just toss a blanket over it and let the cats snooze.  

I do have a system when it comes to sorting/folding laundry.
Towels first, because they're huge and bulky and make up most of the mountain.
Then I separate.  Things that get hangers in one pile, socks/under things in another pile, then fold the rest as I go.

Finally this morning I put up the majority of the mountain.  It's probably a molehill now.  
Sigh.

What dragons do you have a hard time slaying?
