    The Little Red Hen
    Hooray for a good work ethic! The little red hen asks but receives no help in her efforts to put bread on the table. Yet all who wouldn't help would like to eat. In a refreshingly old-fashioned triumph of moral consequences, they don't get to!

That's funny - but how did you end up with only ONE missing sock? I have many and I blame it on the sock eating alien that my children made up. As a matter of fact a few years ago I began considering sock a consumable item on the clothing/shopping list. Every six months we do the underwear/sock drawer clean out and throw and boogie and have us a "Sock and Underwear Shopping day"

I wondered about the missing sock too! I always have a bagful and periodically I go through the bag and try to match them up. Of course in this house, there are groups of sock wearers who wear the same size, so now I don't even match them, but have a different basket for each group and the kids come pick out their socks. I do roll hubby's though :)

That's better. I was getting envious of all the pretty laundry rooms. This is much more like what I live with. This week I could not hang the clean clothes or use my folding table because my husband and sons were busy building a trebuchet (a type of catapult). http://www.trebuchet.com/ for those who might be interested. I still think I would like a nice laundry room inside the house.
