* Never fold socks right away. I always put in a big pile and after folding the clothes, then deal with the socks. It was troubling me how much time I was spending of my life looking for the match.
* I love color-coded socks. Love them. Especially with a family of five.
* I rarely have unmatched pairs. I've always heard about dryers eating them. Mine hasn't very often. Maybe it is because my dryer is rarely hungry since I feed it so much.
* Enough on socks. Why do I feel compelled to make sure all the laundry is done up before company comes? It's not like they are going to take an inventory of our dirty undies. But I do. And that's how I am.
* Always do neat stacks when folding for the family. That way each kid can put their own stack away. It's only recently that I decided that hauling the folded clothes wasn't my job anymore. And now they know where they put their own stuff.
* I still have a few (cough) unnamed family members that occasionally have a stack of clean clothes without underwear in their pile. After a few questions, it gets better again.
* Bleach is a blessing for those nasty dishcloths in the kitchen. Except my hands are nearly raw after handling it.
* Leaving the laundry pile behind... today was nearly perfect. Wonderful weather. Had work time. Beach time. And a family walk to boot!
* Having the kids around has been quite fun. Trevor got an early birthday present of a fishing pole today. Only one major snarl so far.
* And tomorrow is Sunday. How much better can it be?
Your blog posts are always so refreshing, honest and fun to read.

Socks? my fiend Maxine and I have a theory about socks. We buy new socks on the way to convention. It is just easier. Of course between us we have 20 kids. LOL
