One day last week, while reflectively mopping, I said to my husband:
“I feel like I need more purpose in my life…”
My hubby, who’d just gotten out of the shower and was rummaging through his dresser drawers, replied:
“I just need some socks…”
So there you have it: missing socks, a quest for purpose and a real-life example of a couple communicating.
So where do I go from here? I could contemplate my need for purpose and deeper meaning in life but surely that’d be better done in a private journal. I could assess communication within male/female relationships, but that’d be a massive topic and therefore more effectively explored in a book, entitled: Couple Talk: Absent Socks and the Meaning of Life (or maybe not).
I think I’ll turn my focus, instead, to the exhilarating subject of socks and the ever-so-important role of Launderer …
So, head on over to Martinis & Motherhood. We promise you’ll feel less alone in all that laundering mayhem. Plus, there’s a Dirty Laundry martini waiting for you over there. After all, laundering goddesses, like us, are entitled to a tasty cocktail, right?! Click here.

You make me laugh, Shannon! Our husbands may have been separated at birth!
Really, Ann? That’s funny. Thanks for reading.
