Tomorrow I am flying to California. And this week I've been alone, without Chris, which means I have to be a little more responsible than I usually am. (i.e., I paid our gas and electricity bill, and get up all on my own. WOW.)
Today was no exception to the responsibility of Erin. I had a break in between my 2 jobs in which I came home, had some lunch, went for a run, then decided to do some laundry so I would have fresh clothes to pack for my trip. I put a load in the washer but held off showering because I've had far too many experiences where I forget that the shower and washer might have a common need and the water turns icy cold when I have shampoo in my hair. Usually when this happens I scream for Chris and he goes to turn off the washer. HOWEVER, as I mentioned, this was Erin Is Responsible Day, so I remembered. I waited for the clothes to wash, threw them in the dryer, then got in the shower.
When I got out of the shower, I walked into my room to get dressed, and realized just how awesome I am. ALL of my underwear was now in the dryer, still damp. All of it. And I had work in 10 minutes.
Obviously this was not the desired result of my responsible, productive day. However, because I am awesome, I rustled up some suitable underwear from the depths of the drawer. It's a good thing I have some designated to be my last resort.

i would say saving some underwear for emergencies is quite responsible...i really need to do that.
because i may or may not have been in that same situation...
Although this has never happened to me, it is my greatest fear that this will happen. Mostly because the timer on our drier is broken, so it just keeps running and running and running unless you turn it off. So I usually wait to put stuff in the drier for a long time. Until I know I can watch it.
I think you are responsible.
I just buy a lot of underwear. Like a lot. And if it comes down to those end ones that are old and don't fit as nicely (after one kid and being prego is amazing how many times I've had to buy G's) then I put those poop ones on and go buy some new ones. :o) Haha. Not really, but back in the day when i didn't have a washer and dryer and had to do all laundry at my parents...that would have been the solution. No doubt.
can I please just say that by "poop ones" I meant, the old worn and too small ones. They do not have poop on them, and never have at any time. Except when Grace pooped on me as a newborn. Then I guess they did have poop.
I'm so glad I went over that with you.
Well done. I have some last-resort-unders as well. They sure come in handy during those laundry situations!
