She

She...

had a Halloween Birthday Party to go to last Friday until MIDNIGHT!!!  She wanted to wear last year's costume since this year's is still undecided.  She wanted her hair all sprayed black with glitter spray added in as well.  She also wanted to make sure we'd have enough time to put black eyeliner, mascara and dark eye shadow on for her "dark angel" look.

She had a fun time... was utterly exhausted... sat in gum... and tried to pull it off only to have the toile on the dress rip in shreds... she got  pop spilled all over gloves and coat and was really glad to get home but was not thrilled to take a shower at midnight. Black hair and white sheets... that would have been a disaster.

The next day I emptied out her phone, chap-stick, and flashlight and put the coat and gloves in the wash along with another load... transferred everything to the dryer and when I went to empty it I saw this...

This part of the story is where it could have been right out of a movie.  That purple streak mess... would be ink!  For some reason there was a ball point pen in Ainsley's inside coat pocket... it fit perfectly in that vent on the right hand side... nice and tight... so snug that when the clothes were drying around the pen broke off and continuously sprayed ink around and around... ink was everywhere... on everything!!  You know what gets out ink with cleaning supplies from home... NOTHING!

Into the car to Lowes...$20 bucks later...

2 hours of scrubbing... with 2 different types of cleaners.. and my fingerprints worn off... I am back drying laundry again!
