Blonde moment

I have done laundry at least since I was 11 years old, so I should pretty good at it now right? (I'm a lot older now just to clarify) My busy schedule consisted of cleaning my house for the day and getting things organized before the family came home. The laundry basket was full to the gills and I fretfully separated the lights from the darks and proceeded to put the larger pile into the washing machine. Of course the next step in this process, for anyone who has done laundry before, knows that you close the door and put "laundry detergent" in (wherever its supposed to go, since washing machines are made differently, but all share the same reason of use) and then turn it on. Well...this is where I had a "blonde" moment. There were three different containers that held liquid and powder detergents that I could use for the washing machine, and the dryer. I grabbed the "fabric softener" in my absent mindedness and something inside of my head said this wasn't right. I ignored it and kept on going but knew by the color and creamy look of it...something wasn't right.
 A few seconds later I remembered that it was in fact laundry DETERGENT, and not FABRIC SOFTENER that I needed to use in the washing machine. I flew in a mad furry back to the clothes that had already started their cycle and wondered how in the world I was going to fix this. Simple, I thought, just stop it and put in real laundry detergent and bam all should be well in the world or laundry again. So, I grabbed the powder detergent, which I remembered after putting it in and starting it AGAIN, that it had to be washed with some other detergent in there and not alone. AAHHHH. The agony. Right as I was about to give up, what do I see? A beautiful large gallon jug of liquid laundry detergent that had been put out of my view and onto the dryer, which was out of place and threw me off.
 Quickly! I put the real laundry detergent into the right place, sadly with the powder still in place, and started it and sent up a little prayer of hope.

Everything seemed to be fine when I got it out of the washing machine and put it into the dryer. Just to be safe before hand though I put the cycle on extra rinse (so that in some miracle of a chance) the clothes wouldn't be super flower smelled or mutated into an angry wet laundry monster. Still with clothes tumbling in the dryer, I sit here and type this (hopefully amusing) entry and wait for the clothes to be completely done.

Thanks guys for reading my blogs! I hope you guys have a great weekend!!
