1. Take you favorite black and white striped shirt out of the dresser drawer.
2. Put on your favorite shirt on and realize that their is a faint red tomato sauce stain on the shirt that you didn’t notice before you washed it.
3. Get bright idea to try and bleach spot where stain is since it happened to be on a white stripe.
4. Take shirt off and walk into laundry room to get bleach out.
5. Ever so carefully spray bleach on stain.
6. Realize that now shirt smells like bleach and that is not a good smell to have all day especially when you are going to the pediatricians office and you may or may not have a slight crush on him.
7. Go to sink to rinse shirt which spread bleach water onto the black. Bleach removes color in case you didn’t know.
8. Rush around house in bra and shorts trying to find a black marker in which to color in bleached spot of black stripe.
9. Realize that you are coloring on a wet shirt and the wetness is causing the black to bleed into the white stripe that you just bleached to remove a red tomato stain.
10. Get a Q-tip and try to carefully bleach the bleeding black color from white but realize that it is only turning the black blue. Now there is not only a red tomato stain but a bleeding black bluish stain on white stripe.
11. Curse under breath so the children will not hear you and sob a little as you throw favorite shirt in the corner.
12. Choose a new shirt and sigh and whine as new shirt doesn’t meet expectation for making outfit cute as the old favorite shirt would have. Also get eye roll from husband because he doesn’t understand what all the fuss is about, after all its “just a shirt.”
13. Proceed to leave ruined shirt in corner of bedroom so that every time you walk by, you are reminded of failure and that your favorite shirt is now ruined which probably would have been fine if you left it alone since it was only a faint reddish stain.
*sigh*
