 This is for mature readers only:  Ok, so the bad news first.  Yes, this was my Friday night.  All of you young pups getting cute and having a big night out...this is real life.  Organizing socks. I kept getting after the big boys for wearing unmatched socks.  They were thinking this was fine and dandy seeing as their big cousins do it....16/17 year olds mind you.  Fine, but really there came a point where I had to see what was going on. Then reality hit: 67 unmatched socks.  I have a designated spot for the unmatched ones out of the laundry and the stack had grown impressively-hence a little extra guilt to sit and "do socks".  Thankfully we are provided with hand me down socks...but still a little taste of humble pie.  I really try, honestly, I really try to stay on top of every single detail around here... So, here goes: the final story.  I do believe after all these years that the washing machine does eat socks.  I was in denial as are most of you--especially the judgemental ones reading this blog, but you should see my washer--it's huge!!!  But just in case we find one in a crack or cranny...I still have my "lone sock stash".  I think I have Jaiden's lost sock, Lisee. : )
