Doesn't Santa bring socks and underwear to every family? Or is it just us? Every year, we get a new package of socks and underwear. The kids were on to us last year, and practically deemed it inappropriate that Santa delivered undies. But we all love our new socks and drawers when it gets down to it.
The other day I'm washing all of our road trip clothes, and I think to myself "I should wash all those new drawers and socks." So, I go grab them all and take the stupid tape off of each pair. And as I'm trying to get the stupid tape off my finger and into the trash so I can start on the next pair, I realize that Max's socks and Ricardo' socks are the same size and brand. THE. SAME. SIZE. Y'ALL.
Lucy's socks have purple toes and heels. I have super fancy running socks. So, I can tell them apart. But the boys, the son and the husband - they have the same brand, same color, same size sock. Did I mention that Max is NINE YEARS OLD? To be fair, Ricardo's are slightly bigger. At least, that's what the bag said - extra tall. That's just great, I can't find pants that fit us, but socks, no prob. Still, in my best laundering haste, there's no way I'll be able to tell them apart.
Gone are the days of the "did the dryer eat a sock?" concern. Oh no, we're now upgraded to a new sock concern.
I sink into a mini panic because how will I separate the socks? I mean really? No, seriously, someone tell me.
The best I can figure out is now I have to do laundry for them separately. Currently, I get everyone's dirty clothes into what some may call a large pile, but once they're all there in one place it's Mount St. Murrell. But now, I think I'll just do each of their laundry on separate days. This could lead to something great really. Instead of taking 4 days to do everyone's laundry. It'll only take one day to do each of their laundry.
How do you do your laundry? What's your laundry system?
That's how I roll.
