a trillion little reasons why...

ok so if you ever wonder what a trillion of something looks like... well just ask me, cuz i know! It is my sweet little daughter's fault... she started it all with a baking session in the kitchen of chef Mia... usomg BABY POWDER...yep a whole jug of it... dumped into her kitchen center, dishes, table and chairs, bed, herself, you name it the room was COVERED in it... but it sure smells nice...even a week after the fact!
So that started it. I had to wash EVERYTHING in her room to get it all out, the bedding, stuffed animals and a smooshy pillow. Harmless i thought, all the labels SAID machine washable... so i washed them and threw them into the dryer...
I get going this morning, and go to empty the dryer and guess what?! the smooshy pillow EXPLODED in the dryer, and now we have literally a TRILLION (yeah i counted) teeny tiny specks of styrofoam about the size of a PIN HEAD spilling out of my dryer and is embeded into the fabric of all that is in the dryer! Do not try to sweep these little things up ... oh NO it creates STATIC, and then they begin to float in the air and stick to every surface they come in contact with... so now i have them all in th floor, in my dryer, in all the clothes, in my hair, up my nose and in my mouth and i am laughing hysterically the whole time! Have you ever vacuumed out your dryer? that is a fun chore! So if you ever wanna see something really funny, put a smooshy pillow in the dryer and watch it explode!
