So, the Mr. got home on Tuesday and somehow mentioned that day’s blog.
Yes, folks, this is how he keeps up with me these days. I’ve had my head buried in books for so long now that we rarely have conversations of more than six words:
“What’s for dinner?”
“I don’t know.”
So, anyhow, he asked how I could lose my pants, of all things. He figures that Molly has stolen my washcloths and that they’re buried under my bed in her dog cave.
I shrugged my shoulders and told him that I had no idea.
I mean, c’mon. It’s a pair of pants! They aren’t little…certainly not baby-size.
All of sudden, I had an idea…
The one place I had not checked…
Uh huh.
See, you know I’m fanatical about my electric bill. Ever since I got laid off two years ago, money has been really, really tight. My financial situation did not improve much when I got my teaching job because I work in a private school. So, we try to save money where we can.
As such, we hang our clothes on the lines installed in my garage. With the weather getting warmer, I’d given my dryer a break.
But then we had a cold snap.
Now, I remember throwing in a load of clothes.
Only, in my stress-induced, over-worked brain, I kind of forgot…
Until today…
I first noticed the pants in there. Yay!
As I moved the pants, I found something else…
My washcloths!!!! All six of them, in fact!!!
One other item caught my eye…
My national championship t-shirt!!!! Super Sis and Super D had watched the BIG game (the ONLY game) in Auburn that night, and they had purchased shirts and other stuff for the entire family.
I’ve only worn it once since I received mine as a birthday present. I had not noticed it was missing too.
Oh, the Mr. was not happy when he saw the stuff in the dryer.
You see, I’m a bit of a dryer Nazi. It’s so bad, in fact, that he sneaks clothes into the dryer when I’m not home.
Seriously. As soon as I walk out of the house, say for one of my class-filled Saturdays, he hurries and washes and dries a load of clothes.
So, when he saw the clothes in the dryer, he figured I’d been busted…except for the fact that I dried them during a cold snap!
Sheesh.
I make the rules around here, and I can bend them like I want. He should know this after 20+ years of marriage.
Anyhoo…my dishtowels and dishrags are still missing. I really do think those are packed up in Christmas boxes. I have a feeling I will be making a trip to Walmart to buy extras.
Of course, I could just eat out every day and not worry about dishes.
heehee
I might just have to, though. It appears as if my brain is way far gone…so far, in fact, that I’ll be lucky if I can find my way to the kitchen after this!
