My recent Wake-Up Call

I had kind of a strange thing happen to me last night.  I was doing laundry and was taking clothes out of the dryer.  I pulled out 2 or 3 shirts in an absolute panic and I started crying because the dryer had shrunk them to “Barbie" sized clothes.  I was so upset that my new shirts were ruined.  I pulled out another shirt or two before it hit me…they hadn’t shrunk at all.  That’s just what size I am now.  I had to laugh, but it was so bizarre.

OMG - TOO FUNNY!  Our minds DO catch up eventually, but it can take awhile!!

I still look at my jeans, etc when I pull them out of the dryer wondering how they even fit...

What Jody said...lol  I pull jeans out of the dryer and think I've washed one of my boys' old jeans he wore when he was 12.

Love it!  Thanks for sharing!  I tend to panic when I see something in the dryer too with that old fear of it shrinking, but I am putting things in know hoping they will shrink!

Wonderful NSV!!! Years ago,  I had the opposite experience-I thought that all of my clothes were shrinking, when actually, I was gaining weight!!!!

That was way to funny.....

Every single morning when I take my underpants out of the drawer I think they aren't going to fit.  I must think I've blown up over night...LOL.
