Little MissMatched



While browsing online stores, in search of
Christmas gifts I found this store:
http://www.littlemissmatched.com/ what a fun place
to explore. Someone has actually taken something
we all live with and made a business out of it.
mismatched socks, so cool! They sell socks, of course
but with a twist, they don't match, and you get three
socks instead of the standard two. Now this
would have been Cassandra's dream come true
15 years ago...I battled with this child over her
socks, she was the most picky sock wearer I
have ever encountered...honestly I would let
her go barefoot rather than battle with her over
socks. Rarely did her socks match, and often
she would just give me this look as if to say "what
is the big deal" of course I'm worried what
people might think, what kind of mother is she
that her poor child doesn't even have matching
socks, "what can I say I was young and actually
pretty dumb about life" and to think she actually
survived me, amazing! Naturally I had to order
some socks, definately for Cassandra, and not to
leave anyone out, Beckie, Yahaira, and Rosie each
got a set....and so did I. Ok that mom from years
ago now values the importance of fun in life, and
bending those rules on occasion, so your socks don't
match, I do beleive the sun will rise tomorrow. The pic
above is Yahaira, Rosie and I modeling our mismatched
socks...and when I look at that picture I will remember
Yahaira's giggles and Rosie's excitement and that is
a great thing. Cassandra's reaction when she saw the
socks..."well it's about time" she said with a big smile.
