Sock Wars

It's a sock in a drawer. I found it in there last week and took a picture to demonstrate for you the frustration I feel. Why? Why does a child put a sock in a silverware drawer? Socks are my nemesis. I beg, I sternly chastise, I cajole, I wheedle, I implore, I reason. And yet, every day I find a minimum of 12 socks littered all over the house in interesting places.

I look forward to summertime when everyone wears flip flops (or thongs, depending on how racy you feel) and there is a cessation of the sock wars.

I totally agree- I get so sick of finding socks all over the house.

That's really funny. At one point, I took a permanant marker and wrote a first name intial on the bottom of each sock. That way I new who's it is was. It made sorting them out a lot easier too. Good luck.

Do you remember the huge bag of unmatched socks we used to have? Ahhh the good old days! So, suddenly your blog will not open on my computer, so I have to use Dad's! Suzie's won't open either, what is up with that? I don't have any trouble with any of the others I look at. Hmmmmm........

Socks end up all over at my house too! Even my dog Shelby is in on it. She likes to pick up the dirty ones the kids leave around and deposit them on my bed. Weirdo.

Just don't let them wear socks. hmmmm... stinky feet... that would start a whole other type of war.

Glad to know I'm not the only one waging this battle. I remember my mom used to charge us $1 a pair if she found them where they didn't belong. I remember certain siblings framing each other though:) Though I think only paid out $2 before I was better about it.
