Peg Issues

Time to come clean that I have issues

and I know many of you are not surprised by that statement

and I know we all have them

 some of us more than others

but for me I have had one huge issue

that for years

and in different ways has done my head in

I have an issue with pegs...

ordinary clothes pegs have caused me more grief than you can imagine...

It started early with the bizarre family practice

of getting pegged

now I am not sure how this started

but it involves having someone hang a peg 

off the back of your clothes without you knowing

and everyone else laughing at the pegged one

 this was seriously  traumatic as a child

and to this day my dad persists in pegging people 

so we spend half of Christmas lunch 

and every visit

madly checking shirts, skirts and hems

and inevitably I am pegged

every single family function for the last 40 years I have been pegged

I always start off vigilant

but inevitably drop my guard 

and from there I am easy pickings

I have actually headed out to the car to head home

and have had mum stop me because I have half the clothes line

hanging off my clothes

hilarious...

pick on the air head

None of this is helped 

by the fact that they often use different coloured pegs

you see if they used the same colour pegs I could handle it

well, maybe not handle it 

but at least not feel like I am having a complete breakdown

but the thought of different colours next to each other is beyond me

for me if you use pegs you use the same colour pegs 

on the same piece of clothing

none of this one blue peg  and one green on a shirt

and don't even get me started on mixing colours across the different lines

We all have our things that we need to be in order 

and I have a high tolerance for all sorts of things

and in no way could I ever

ever

ever 

in any universe

be described as a neat freak

but messing with pegs

is tantamount to war

so after many years of needing to go out and straighten the pegs on the line

and check that they aren't cross coloured if someone else has 

by some miracle pegged out clothes

I have gone out and bought a line full of green pegs

no more colour issues now

every one of those suckers is the same colours

and problem solved

Now I know I could have thought of this years ago

and I am a touch embarrassed that I haven't thought of it

but they say you get older and wiser

and maybe that is finally kicking in

and to celebrate finally exhibiting wisdom

I have confronted  and celebrated the issue with a drawing

of pegs

not just one drawing

but one drawing and two with colour added to copies

so it is like peg - o - rama on the desk here

Mind you the one with the coloured pegs is safely

tucked underneath the other two....

Phew...

Linking up with Sophia at Sunday Sketches...

which is celebrating its second birthday...

which is a very cool achievement
