Sorting Socks




When you have three kids, some things just get neglected. Laundry can pile up in a very short time. The garage can get messy in what seems like overnight. With boys present, you must keep an eye on all toliets, I finally stationed a scrub brush caddy in each bathroom and just try to make sure there is at least a hurried swirl a day...the one bathroom they use the most is equipped with toliet bowl cleaner sitting on the back of the tank at all times! Things just get out of hand quickly and I am trying very hard to get everything back in hand.




I went on a tour of all three kids bedrooms yesterday and did the dreadful digging out from under the beds.....(picture the mr. yuk smiley face here!). After a couple of loads of laundry I pretty much came up with one and a half baskets of unmatched socks! (This includes the catch all basket that sits on top of the dryer at all times.) I spent over two hours sorting socks yesterday and am pretty sure I came up with enough pairs for everyone in this house to have a clean matching pair to wear every day for at least 5 weeks. Holy wow! The strays that were left over would make Dobby the house elf in Harry Potter a very happy little soul!
