Remember the 80's?

Lovely had so much fun with her new found skating friend yesterday. It took them ten minutes to make it one time around the rink but at least they had each other. Next time I'm going to bring brightly colored combs for their back pockets. Hi Marni, friend's Mom!

Did anyone do any organizing today? I spent most of the day on laundry. I even sorted through the evil sock basket. I started a bad habit several months ago and I can't even blame it on the pregnancy because the bad habit came first. I don't fold socks anymore. I just throw them all into a basket and make everyone fend for themselves.

The result has been that people are now wearing each pair of socks 14 days in a row because it's easier than rummaging through the basket looking for a pair. Although it's obvious Victor doesn't spend a lot of time rummaging because he will show up at basketball wearing one of his little sister's ankle socks on one foot and one of his Dad's tall socks on the other. He's ten. Apparently when you're ten this doesn't bother you. Even when your Mom cheers, "GO HOME SCHOOL!" during your game. You still think unmatched socks are perfectly fine.

I did more than laundry today though. I also baked bread and washed six storage buckets. SIX! If I wash six every week then it will only take me 24 weeks to get them all clean. I think that sounds like a good plan. Or I could just get off my lazy cow and finish washing the rest of them next week.

I also started making a list of items we need for food storage and emergency preparedness. You want to see my list don't you? I thought so. Feel free to tell me if I've forgotten anything.
