This one is for all you moms and moms to be that have or may run into this problem...
Gum in the dryer... I forgot to check the pockets of Scott's pants before washing and throwing them in the dryer... One of those pockets contained an entire packet of Trident gum... Now I should have inspected the load of laundry further when I thought I got a hint of minty fresh gum when switching from the washer to the dryer, but instead I half ass checked pockets and proceeded with the cycle...
Fast forward to pulling the clothes out of the dryer to discover this wonderful gooey sticky surprise! Oh joy! I would now like to say that I am Google certified in gum removal... So far the trick of downy fabric softener and dryer sheets seems to be working on the dryer.... I have yet to check the clothes for damage but supposedly warm vinegar is what works so when I go to the store to get bread and lettuce for part of tonight's dinner I better invest in an extra tooth brush for scrubbing the gum out of clothes just in case....
I guess the lesson is that you should always have dryer sheets, fabric softener, vinegar and a spare tooth brush on hand just in case you run into this sticky gooey yucky time consuming problem...

Pass me the vodka with a straw please!
It's turning into one of those days....
It's not one of those days where anything extra horrible has happened but just one of those days where things aren't going quite right or not at all... It's just one of those days where there are too many twists and turns and bumps in the road... It's one of those days where you just say "Fuck it, pass me the vodka with a straw"... We all have them...
I would like the vodka today because I slept like shit, hot water heater isn't working right, car was broken into and I ordered a hat that will get a permanent crease in it if bent....
The hat thing is an easy fix... I can just pick up the phone cancel the order hopefully and order the right hat... Sleeping like shit will be solved hopefully by a good nights sleep tonight (with the help of some of that vodka)...
Now as for the car thing... I go to take pics of the beetle cause we are selling it and the windows on the passenger side were smashed out***.... Now if these had been smart car thieves they would have checked both doors to find out one of them doesn't lock so no smashing of windows was required... This is just an inconvenience since we are trying to sell the car and now have to get new windows...
Last but not least is that hot water heater thing... The pilot light keeps going out on it and we had maintenance come look at it... He said some stuff I didn't understand in Spanish and some stuff I did... Which was that someone would be coming back at 3pm to fix it... Well they did... But it went out again... I managed to get it going again but we will see how long it lasts......
I know there are people with much bigger problems than I so I'll only take a couple sips and pass the vodka down and remember tomorrow is a new day....
***Edit: Upon closer inspection... the idiots only smashed out the small window and then rolled down the other window...
