Socks Meet Your Match

I believe everyone knows the feeling that the dreaded "laundry day" induces.  Sitting around mindlessly folding and storing, folding and storing, folding and storing laundry.  You think that would be enough to make laundry day bad.  It gets worse.  My worst enemy, socks.  Only four people live in my household, but somehow there is a mountain of socks to match up.  You know what I am about to tell you next right, THEY NEVER ALL HAVE THEIR PAIR.  Can I tell you how irritated this makes an obsessive compulsive person like me!  Well, I am not going to battle this out any longer.  I will safety pin those little buggers together with their pair before I put them in the wash.  I keep a baby food jar of safety pins in my laundry room and I just safety pin as I am sorting the loads of laundry.  I take this same baby food jar and put the safety pins back in after I have folded the pairs together.  Some people like to leave the socks safety pinned together in their drawers, but I have a three year old with nimble hands and I don't want him poking himself with a "safety" pin.  Anyway, this makes for a great little system and never am I to play mix and match with the sock monster again.

By the way to my personal friends out there, if you have empty baby food jars that you are dying to get rid of, send them my way, I have some ideas I would like to try on them.  Thanks.
