When I discovered the topic for today was sacrifice, I said to Sassy, “I’m going to write a blog post like ‘I have been sacrificing all my time for Just Jot it January,’ and just be all ‘Bye!'”
We laughed.
It’s not sacrifice, because as you know, I enjoy interacting with y’all.
But as we all wandered to the back of the house to retire last night, The Mister asked me, “Do I have some clean white socks somewhere?”
“Yes.”
Yes, of course he does. Because all of the clean socks are in a basket.
were ya gonna wait and match’em in february, joey? i dunno, maybe.
Sacrifice is not my thing.
I’ll have a head full of words while I do the dishes, take them sledding, walk the dog, sign the reading log, make the dinner, do the dishes — and I’ll think I’m sacrificing, but then my husband is white-sock-less and Sadie’s got a clump of dreadlocks behind her ear and the sink could use a good scouring and Moo’s outta dental floss and well…
Bye!

Sacrifice. Now that is a good word. If you do things for a loved one,is that sacrifice?

Yes, I think if you give up something, it’s sacrifice, no matter who it’s for.

Hey kids, you know what’s really fun? All the socks are going to get married. See, when they find each other, they make a cute little bundle, like this. Now you try…

Haha, yeah, they do the odd socks. I call them sock-matching parties, but they’re never as festive as I imagine 😉
They aren’t careful enough to do ALL the socks.

I know what you mean about having “a head full of words” while attending to daily tasks. I try to keep a note pad with me to jot down ideas. I seem to be most creative when I’m in the car, but driving and writing probably isn’t the best combination. It’s all a balance I guess. 😉

Haha! Yeah, I try to only do it while waiting at a traffic light. I don’t want to tick my guardian angel off too much. 😄

I guess it gets exponentially worse the more people there are under the same roof. We’re only two and yet lately the sock gremlins have been outwitting me at every turn 😦

Terrible, Norm. It is worse with more people, but Moo is the worst sock offender. She loses socks like mad, putting them in strange places…

It never ceases to amaze me, with all of the advancements in technology and equality that husbands still have to ask us where their socks are. Too funny. My hubby had just asked me that yesterday.

Love the ‘flamey’ artwork to accompany the story. And I too have miles of socks to match and tiny, tighty-whities to fold. Ah sigh.

My brain is constantly working! I’m not good at sacrifice AT ALL. My husband says he’s the giver in the relationship and I’m the taker. He’s kind of right! But I have determined that I am a giver…just depends what I’m being asked to give.

Interesting, Deb.
I think I’m the giver and my husband is the doer.
I can’t decide which of us is more spoiled with the giving and taking and doing, but I can tell you these are good problems to have 😉 Hahaha!

If I could, I would have to do it for the Mrs first. She would also like a pencil interface and she still has a working rotary phone (I gave it to her). I’m not a fan of touch screens and I miss “clicky” keyboards.

Definitely don’t need to sacrifice for us since you give us food for thought and/or laughter every time. You nailed this one and can get your chores done and maybe get some quiet time, as you rightfully deserve, Joey! 🙂
