Emptying the diaper pail has to beat any other chore. :)

Great question!

My most procrastinated chore is keeping up with the paperwork, like filing important papers, and keeping the bills and receipts in order.
I do fine recycling paper, like junk mail, however, if my kids have papers from a while back, I have trouble knowing what to do with them.
We are working on putting things in portfolios for the kids. I have files for the financial stuff. I am also hoping to get them to send some of their papers to relatives(everyone needs refrigerator art).
I just hate working with paper!
I'll do the diaper pail any day over the paperwork. Maybe that's because I have a system for keeping the cloth diapers under control. Just don't make me do disposables. Thanks.

I am in the process of getting rid of all socks that have holes in them. Then, I am going to get rid of, or use odd socks for crafts. Then, I will cull the socks down to a managable amount for each of us. There are 6 of us, so that will take me some time to do. I'm a procrastinator! I also like the cute toddler socks, so I don't want to get rid of some of them. I might try putting them in a lingerie bag when I wash them to keep them all together.
Anyway, I just bought myself 10 pairs of short socks and 6 pairs of crew socks. If I keep slippers on my feet, I shouldn't have anymore sock problems 8)

Oh, dear! What about dusting with them? What about making puppets?

You can also put them on your hands and use them to take hot pans out of the oven. Or you can fill them with sand and knock out burglars. There's no end to the uses!

My sisters would take some of the thinner socks, cut holes in the toe end, and turn them into dresses for their dolls :)

:oops:

Just hours after I posted that I discovered that DH had thrown away a pair of socks because one had a hole.

I must educate that guy!
