Yes, that is a gorilla in the dryer. Why do you ask??
The facts:
- I hate laundry and anything associated with washing, drying, folding, and ironing(!) clothes.
- I love my cluttered, messy, piles in every corner laundry room with a passion.
- I value “alone” time in my laundry room. I know “alone” time in the laundry room is inherently sad, but it beats listening to kids argue over whether Santa Claus is magical or not. Happened tonight.
- Be gone any child who wants to *help* unload the dryer. It’s a fact: A child who offers help will delay the completion of the project by about a million years.
- I love bottles of detergent, big or small. I like seeing all my cleaning products neatly arranged in a row.
- An empty detergent bottle makes a satisfying clunk in the bottom of the recycling bin. “She shoots, she scores.”

This is kind of unfair.. see I can “suck up” because I share the same laundering philosophy. I’d rather scrub the toilet than match up socks.. and DON’T GET ME STARTED on ironing! I loathe that chore so much I’m sort of cool with my kids looking like they slept in their clothes. And being that I’ve got 4 kids (5 if you count the DH, and I DO!)the number of mismatched socks I have borders on EPIC! I’ll confess, I just don’t count. It hits far too close to home, when I think about how my MIL irons socks and heck I don’t even care if the match!
Not that many really, I think maybe two pair. I don’t mind matching socks.

I have a whole basket on top of my washer filled with odd socks. There must be 80 or more. I think the dog ate the matches

I think my bottom drawer has about 22 odd socks. I had more but threw away a bunch. Thanks for the contest.
