Socks.

Why am I a sock hoarder? Today, I went through a box I had full of socks. I matched them all up. And then I went to my garage and got a basket full of socks from there. Yes, that's right. Another.full.basket.

I used to chalk it up to having all those little girl socks. They need everyday socks and frilly church socks, and then there are the character socks they pick up here and there. Slipper socks and knee socks for colder weather. I no longer have itty bitty kids. I have a 6, 8, and almost 10 year old. Why do I still have all these socks?

So, I go and get the basket of socks. And they have been out there all summer and winter (2007) and have accumulated the appropriate amount of dog hair and garage muck. I had to wash the entire basket of socks, and it filled my whole washers basket. They are now drying.

My living room is covered with socks. Sorted into the following piles: adult white, adult male dark, adult female darn, preteen, childrens' white, children's color and short socks. And I have not sorted what is in the dryer. I can hardly wait. Is my sarcasm showing?

Yes, this was drivel. I have a headache...and I'm feeling lazy even if I did a ton of catch up stuff today.

The real question is, will I ever catch up??
