How my hubby can drive me insane

18/07/2017 By Savanna Robinson 2 Comments

How my hubby can drive me insane- married couple looking into camera with heads together

The problem

My husband has a secret habit. It’s not the worst habit he could have, but it is entirely devastating to my winter wardrobe. You see my husband can drive me insane simply by pinching and wearing my socks! My socks!

If that isn’t enough to drive you insane then this surely will. He has great big man feet! He pulls on my little ladies socks (okay, maybe not so little at ladies size 9 Au, but smaller than his), and the sock is forever stretched, never to return to its original size again. Never! And try as I might, they just will not fit right any more…falling down into my shoes, instead of sitting where good socks do.

Maybe if I was a better 1950s wife and always had his socks matched up in his drawer ready to go, this wouldn’t happen. He’d have every pair in there ready to do, instead of in the washing baskets in the lounge room because it’s his job to fold his own darn socks!

But instead of that situation, we have this one. One where I go to find my pair of new black socks that I knew I got off the line yesterday. Yet one is missing from the basket. In all likelihood said sock has made it into his suitcase for a trip to Melbourne, never to be seen by me again.

Attempts at solving the problem

Now I’ve tried a few methods to try and keep my socks safe. Made sure all mine went straight in my sock drawer. Nope! He just pinches a pair from there when he can’t find a match. Buying big safety pins to clip his together in the wash.  But he’s not organised to do that last thing at night when he takes his socks off. I’ve even bought socks with pink/purple accents so he could tell they were mine. He doesn’t look. And doesn’t really care. He will wear any socks! Even my knee length frilly pair! Stretched! Gone to sock heaven! No wonder he can drive me insane.

The not-so-perfect solution

Of course I still love him to pieces! It would just be nice if my socks could last one season! I think I’m resigned to the fact he will always lose his socks (and mine). Maybe I should just throw out all the old unmatched ones and make a new start of it. With a brand new husband proof lock on my sock drawer to lessen the chance of him being able to drive me insane.

This is a great way of just grounding yourself and helping to be mindful that you can’t solve all the world’s problems yourself.

After trying to transplant my avocado tree in summ After trying to transplant my avocado tree in summer, and it not coping at all with the intense heat and bushfire season, I was given a new one for my birthday by mum and dad. 
Avocado #3 is now in its new home. With lots of strawberry plants for company and the lemon tree that keeps pulling through, even when dad is sure it’s died on me. 
With being on school holidays, and socially isolating, I may get the  dirt moved that has to come out for the house extensions... whenever they may start now.

Trying this out for a few weeks. My teen thinks it Trying this out for a few weeks. My teen thinks it’s pretty good when she doesn’t feel like much breakfast (anxiety affects her feeling up to eating in the mornings). She loves the Ensure vanilla flavour. To me it’s bearable. Not a big fan of vanilla drinks. Will be interesting seeing what the chocolate is like.

But today was back to school for me. Bit of a comedown from this great spot.
Something to aim for again for next year though.
