I am very particular when it comes to doing my laundry. Everything has to be separated into the "correct" pile and folded in the "correct" way. I sort my laundry into the following piles:
- Whites
- Darks
- Pastels
- Towels & Sheets
The other day I was washing my white towels. The buzzer went off on the washer, so I ran downstairs to the laundry room to transfer the washed towels into the dryer. I opened the lid and to my disbelief I found pink towels. I gasped in horror! How could this happen? I am so careful when I sort my piles. I started looking through the towels and lo and behold, there was Addi's new red shirt! Who did this to me?! Was it one of my kids? Was it a ghost? Who? Pink towels do not mesh well with my OCD. (I explained my OCD in an older post.) I took the red shirt out of the load and immediately washed the towels again with lots of bleach. The bleach helped somewhat, but I still have light pink towels. Okay, so this was nobody's fault but my own. I must have gathered the red shirt up with my pile of white towels. I guess this happened just to teach me not to be so obsessive compulsive with the little, meaningless things in life. I really think that God has a sense of humor. :) I will deal with the pink towels..... until I go to the store, then I will buy some new ones. :)

Wanna know how I wash clothes? Everything all together; whites, darks, towels. It's a big melting pot in the washer! I know, that's so wrong! If I happen to have a red shirt I won't put any whites in with the darks. I have accidently done so and ended up with a bunch of pale pink shirts. Blah! I need to do better!
you are OCD... I updated my blog, just for you!!!
oh you silly girl, steff thats why I love ya so much... Oh man that is a bummer, at least it was towels and not your bran new shirt you just baught, i have had that happen a few time, and man does it just hit ya in the wrong way... Love ya hope the turn back white for ya!
You don't even know how hard I'm laughing right now! I can feel your pain, though! I sort my laundry the same way. I don't even wash my reds with my darks (very often). Even if I wash less than half a load, they go in separate. The only clothes I don't sort are Olivia's. They all go in together.
