Sock It To 'Em

Laundry. Really, I do not like to do it. It piles up quickly and there is almost always one load I forget. And, please remember, even when you think you have done it all, there really is always more to do. But of all the laundry that must be done at our house, the part that I detest the most is socks.

Maybe it is because there are 6 people who have lots of different kinds of socks.

Maybe it is because so many of them are wrong side out, or folded and balled into a cotton or polyester-blend origami.

Maybe I am just too particular.

DEFINITELY sock-OCD. Which makes the matching very difficult.

So I thought I would try an experiment to hopefully get the family in on the sorting and matching of their own socks. I decided to just skip the socks and put all of the clean ones in a separate basket...and I found that when I just threw all the socks in that basket, the folding of the other things was not so bad (it was even somewhat enjoyable!)! However, it did not take long before the kids began complaining that they were out of socks. I would point to the basket and they would sigh and go digging until they found a match. This was working rather well until Dana ran out of socks. When he told me he had no clean socks, and I pointed to the basket, I got the nicely put, but no nonsense request of, "Can you match these today, please?"

So....
I matched 'em...
I did!!!
But...with attitude:

I think my attitude needs some working on! Pray for me.
