I really need to get more sleep
This morning I saw my daughter wearing her school uniform khaki pants and they were SO wrinkled there was no way I was going to let her go to school looking like that.
I said, "Give them to me and I'll iron them while you're making your lunch."
I took them to my sewing room, where the full size ironing board was set up. I don't usually have the full size ironing board there. I leave it in my room and I have a small one I made for when I have to iron fabric as I'm piecing. {Mistake one, I should have put it back where it usually stays}
I plugged it in, threw her pants up there, and absentmindedly grabbed the aerosol can on my sewing table. {Mistake two, that aerosol can didn't belong there and I should have put it back where it normally stays}
So I sprayed her pants, the iron was hot and I put it on the pants but when I tried to slide it, there was resistance. {Do you see where I am going with this?}
I touched the pants, only to find that they were sticky. I was wondering if something was on the bottom of the iron...then I realized...instead of spray starch, I sprayed Basting spray on her pants!!!
WOW!! Luckily she has a couple of pairs of pants and shorts she can wear.
I immediately threw the pants into the washer on a soak cycle until I can get to them when I get home.
Nice momming, courtesy of me.

This is so true!! I can't count the number of times I've opened the cabinet door instead of the microwave door to heat something, or put something in the cabinet that belonged in the refrigerator!!

I had a bug bite stick that I mistakenly used for chapstick. I was headed out to the hospital to visit my Dad. My lips immediately went numb! I scrubbed it off right away, but it took a couple of hours before it was totally gone!

So true!! I will NEVER forget the day I came home from grocery shopping and my "auto-pilot" put the tampons in the freezer.
