When I only had one kid- in 2001- my older sister, Dawn, and I were obsessed with Burlington Coat Factory Baby Depot. We had to go all the way to High Street but we didn't mind. (The one on Sawmill/161 wasn't there yet.) They had great prices on clothes. You never knew what you were gonna get when you went there.
We would also take a walk through the baby sections behind the clothes. Every now and then there would be good clearance. When I was pregnant with my third child (2003) I went to Baby Depot by myself and discovered a great deal on these plastic bear plates. 2 plates for only 50 cents. WOW!!! I bought several packs for myself and a few packs for my sisters. The plates were four different colors- yellow, pink, green, & blue.
Sometimes I'd go to the cupboard and find this:
It would DRIVE ME CRAZY!!!! "What's wrong with it?" you ask. Well, just look at it. All those pinks in a row. There is no pattern to it. Here is what I need:
See... pink, blue, green, yellow, pink, blue, green, yellow, and so on... Mike learned quickly of my madness and he started getting it right.
Well, after 4 kids I got over it. I'm happy just to unload the dishwasher. Who has time to put them in color order?? Mike is happy. :)
So, I loaded the dishwasher the other day and wasn't thinking about what dishes I was loading. All of the sudden when the dishes were in the heat-drying phase I smelled something. It was coming from the dishwasher. Thankfully Mike was home and was able to save the day. Here is what we found:
I put this plate on the lower rack and it was so light that the dishwasher pressure lifted it up and it slid behind and under the rack laying on the heating thingy. Poor yellow bear plate. :(

I do weird things like this too. CDs have to be in the case right side up so you can read the title when you open it w/o twisting the CD. The volume on the TV CANNOT be on a prime number. The same goes for the car stereo. I also count things...ceiling tiles, buttons on people's shirts, stripes, patterns, etc...I would tell you more, but you're probably already convinced that I'm completely off my rocker. Haha!
