If I were rich ;)

If  I were rich, I would give the boys (all of them) new socks every day and have them toss them out at night so they don't end up in the laundry ;) PLEASE NOTE that I am aware that this is very un-ecologically friendly and I am just joking ;) I am not, however, joking about how much I hate sorting socks. Although I joke about the new socks every day thing, there are some times that I go to the store and pick up a few pairs just so I don't have to sort out the ones that I have at home. Kind of like a back up to my sanity.... except the procrastination pile keeps growing and growing....

Today, I faced my sock demons and emptied out 2 3 big Ikea bags of unfolded socks onto our bed (seriously- bad, I know). I have been sorting them out all day in 20 minute blocks of time that are punctuated with coffee ;) I am almost done the boys' (minus the few that really don't seem to have a match) and am now tackling my collection of black ones that all seem to look the same ;) I am seriously considering buying myself socks with very obnoxious patterns or Spiderman on them so that I can tell them apart..... Wish me luck ;)

Happy remainder of Sunday to you all xox

  1. The sock issue is everlasting. Hate it. If I end up in hell, I'll be sorting socks twenty four-seven. Well, actually, I already am. Are we dead and gone to hell?!...

  2. Hi hi I totally understand you - soks are living hell for moms :-D And for some odd reason, one sok is always missing. In the end I only make sure that all soks was exactly the same on, that makes it easier - at least for a time ;-)

  3. Hihi - Jeg husker det var tiden hvor jeg boede sammen med børnenes far og vi var en husstand på 6. Ikke nok med størrelsen, så skulle de jo helst være ens.

    1. The socks that I have the most are those that look the same but are different heights and sizes... I give ones to Andreas that only cover his toes ;) I might have to colour co-ordinate... each person gets one colour socks ;) xox
