Note to self...

From My Pictures

When you pour bleach into a tub of water....look away! Ask my eye how it knows this. Today as I was adding a few drops of bleach to a tub of water, the bleach hit the water just right (or wrong depending on how you LOOK at it) and splashed directly into my eye.

Yes, there was squealing and running in circles and throwing huge splashes of water into my eye to clean it out. After a while my eye realized it was going to live and stopped shutting without my permission, and then the bleach decided it wasn't a great place to hang out and the burning eventually subsided.

The "bleach incident", as I will heretofore refer to it, really made me think though, about accidents and how fast they happen, and how a small bit of "slow it down girl you don't have to clean the kitchen in 6.2 seconds flat" goes a long way in being able to think before you act.

So.. the new me is slower, more cautious, and wearing safety goggles when I clean. Okay so it isn't the new me, but I am going to be more careful!

Breaking News: It is with great sadness that I report to you that my Snug Black T-Shirt was damaged in the bleach incident and will no longer be appearing in my wardrobe. An innocent bystander, Snug Black Tee took a direct hit to the front and will be layed to rest in the rag drawer. Snug was a good tee, full of life and elasticity. I accept full responsibility for her demise. She will be missed.

Ummm... what exactly is wrong with bleach spots on your clothes? I have a husband who is a mad bleacher and if you leave ANYTHING dark in the dirty clothes hamper or within 5 feet of the washer it is guaranteed to somehow accidentally get splashed with bleach! LOL... glad your eyes are still functioning!

M'Kayla would agree with you, she spilled the bleach bottle over on a pair of jeans and proclaims them the fashonista jeans of the season :)
I love it that Nick is bleach happy, thats too cute.

I LOVED kaylas jeans at the Mothers day bbq.. those must have been the ones. I would have had no idea that it was an "accident"!

Darlene said...

That is so funny! And yep, those were the jeans. Would you believe that she dumped the bleach on them right after she brought them home from the store and never got to wear them without it lol.

Hope your eye is okay! I've tried to steer clear of bleach if at all possible... I'm not always the neatest person & would end up with bleach spotted clothing. Sorry to hear about your shirt, BTW... depending on where the spot is... you could wear something over it or cut it off for a shorty-shirt!

Glad your eye is fine. Bleach incidents aren't something I tend to enjoy.
