The Sock Monster


I started this blog because I have a horrible memory and I wanted to preserve the memories of my children for as long as I could.  I tried a journal in a notebook but that didn't work out.  This has been a much better way of preserving their silly stories and pictures.   This may be one memory I may want to forget...or maybe I'll look back on it an laugh.  It's the sock monster!  Kyle often helps me with laundry...until it comes to the socks.  The kids are in a bad habit of taking off their shoes and socks wherever.  In what ever room you are in, you are likely to find socks laying around.  There may even be a few shoes to trip over as well.  But when it comes to laundry time, it is impossible to match up all the socks.  So I got an idea of throwing the lonely sock into a bag until it's mate eventually turns up.  Last Sunday I decided it was time to do a pair up.  We looked all over the house for random socks.  We threw them all in the floor and I started making matches.  It was kind of fun!  I probably made 10-15 matches, which I was proud of.  But after all the matches were made, here lay the poor loners without a mate.


If each of these socks cost $1...well lets just say I need to stop buying socks.
