Creatures Great and Small
There are days when I feel like there are people put on this planet to torment me, most of them are related to me in some way---like I gave birth to them. And in a house full of men, socks have been the Torment Du Jour. Every time I turn around, there are socks on the kitchen floor. For weeks I have complained about having to clean up socks----why can't they just throw in the laundry basket????? Are they doing this on purpose? do they think I'm the maid??
The answer was revealed in a quiet moment when everyone else in the house was fast asleep. My little tormentor has 4 legs....
Oh sure, she's cute, but don't be fooled. She appears to have taken the role of the sock monster in this little drama. For there she was, at the top of the basement stairs leading into the kitchen, with a sock in her mouth.....and I swear I saw a grin! For weeks, she has been carrying socks from the laundry room in the basement and leaving them on the kitchen floor!
So now the laundry basket comes right up to the bedroom and clothes put away and the flow of socks has been halted.
Was she trying to teach me something, or has the list of creatures put on this planet to torment me just be increased to include the 4 legged variety?
Hope your day is torment-free....
Hugs and Stitches!

at least she's not taking tissues (clean of course) out of the box and strewing them all over the house. I never did catch the cats doing this but boy did I have a time cleaning up their mess!

Great story! I have 2 cats and they are great at keeping me company when I sew and messing up my quilting layout. I have taken classes from Karen Eckmeier and know her personally. She comes to our local shop on a regular basis. Love her! Wasn't Happy Villages a great class?

I'd like to borrow your cat, please. That way at least I'd know where all our socks are.
