Pre-vacation

It always amazes me how much I have to prepare before I leave for a vacation with my husband. The kids schedules, clothes, shoes, bikes, blankets, school info, etc. has to be shipped over to the in-laws. And then I have to get myself ready and check my husband's stuff too (so I'm a little bit of a control freak, but I really have lightened up, really).

Yeah, yeah, I know I shouldn't be complaining, but it always stresses me out. I am always afraid I am going to forget something.

Sock Monster

There was mystery in my house. Missing socks. I was going to go the store and buy some more, but I thought I would do all the laundry first to get a better picture of how many socks the girls had and how many I would need to buy.

Of course, I think it would be a good idea after a few warm weather days to turn my whole house upside down switching out all the winter clothes with summer clothes (yes, I left jeans and a few sweat shirts out). So this turns into my spring cleaning of the girls bedrooms. Big mistake. I mean really big mistake. Extremely big mistake.

It was like pulling the small little thread attached to your shirt that ends up unraveling the whole bottom seam in the shirt.

I never realized that behind the dresser and under the bed was considered a closet, but who am I to question that. I completely enjoyed every moment of pulling out pants, shirts, pajamas, books, toys and (you got it) all the missing socks.

The sock monster must be extremely hungry these days.
