Yesterday, exhausted, I tossed my clothes in a pile and jumped in the shower at midnight for the first time that day. I don’t remember much after that except I was up multiple times last night with sick kids. I woke Paul up at 4:00am and said, “Tag, your it!” He then had the baby on the couch until I got up at 6:00 to get kids ready for school.
I sat on the couch blogging for a few hours with multiple sick kids breathing on me, while Paul ran errands and did price checking at Walmart.
At 10am I was stressing because I had to head into work for a little while. The door bell rings! ACK! I am still in my pajamas! I run into my room and look for something to throw on, I see my clothes from yesterday and figure I wont see any of the same people and toss them on. I answer the door, then get my stuff together and head out to work for a while. Along the way I have a few errands to do, I meet with some teachers and chat with church patrons in the hall.
Later today I am standing in the kitchen making dinner when I decide that my jeans fit kinda funny. I mean they are tighter than normal, thanks to the 7 pounds that I have magically gained the past month. But the knee felt funny…
In the middle of the kitchen I wiggle my leg, reach up my pant leg, and much to my astonished husbands surprise, I pull out my UNDERWEAR from yesterday!
I couldn’t think fast enough, I just held them up above my head and said, “Tada! Do you like my magic trick?”
Without missing a beat, he says, “Why, yes I do! I like it a lot!”
I quickly start walking away as my face is turning bright red!
“Honey?” Paul teasingly says, “Did you just walk around all day with your underwear from yesterday in your pants?”
“Why, yes I did! I sure did!” I said. Then I gave up and decided I needed a nap!

OMGosh….Tiffany. I am laughing so hard, my husband thought he was going to have to perform cpr on me. Then I read your post to him and I thought I was going to have to perform cpr on him! Never a dull moment in the life of a family of 9, huh? I can so relate! Thanks for sharing! I really needed that laugh tonight.
OH my!!!!! This is great! I laughed so hard I cried!!!!! We’ve all been there…..well maybe not quite
Why yes, yes I have done that.
Doesn’t make it any less funny reading about somebody else doing it, though!
I’ve totally done that before. I’ve also had a super baggy fleece sweatshirt on ya know that has the elastic around the bottom, and I found my bra from the day before bunched up in the bottom (its when I was breastfeeding so it didn’t have an underwire so heck if I noticed LMAO) My husband still teases me about it to this day and its been almost 2 years ๐
I’m with Katie I’m laughing so hard I’m crying and my husband thought I lost my mind! Thanks for the laugh ๐
Haha. That happened to me a couple of years ago at my in-laws house. Well, actually my ratty underwear was stuck to my husband’s sweatpants!
Don’t feel bad – I just did the same thing the other day. Was walking into Petco with the husband and kids, and I feel something working it’s way down my leg inside my jeans. I stop and get it the rest of the way down, realize what it is, and stuff it quickly into my purse. At least you were at home when it happened!
Gotta love those kind of days. I hope you were able to get a nap and the kids are feeling better ๐
at least it was just your husband! and p.s. its 1030 pm, im still in my pjs, and im LOVIN it. (i did shower, around 4)
Oh how our lives parallel. Now that is to fun!!!!!
I just love u.
Sorry about that I mean (funny).
I have done that many times…with my socks! They’ll be in the knee area when I feel them slide down to the floor…
At least they didn’t fall out at work or with the teacher OR at church ๐
Thanks for sharing needed a laugh. I’ve yet to do that but I’ve done many other things.
Mom’s do the darndest things don’t we? Funny I enjoyed the giggle.
Okay I have to say…I thought you were going to say you found a fabric softener inside which I have done many times. But underwear…you got me there. I was laughing so hard that my 17 year old son came over to see what I was laughing about. That is a good one. And the “tada” even better. We too have seven kids. Only 5 still at home but I will make sure to check my pants if I rewear them ๐ Thanks for sharing!
That is too funny!!! I hope everyone is feeling better.
Yes, that has happened to me. It happened at my place of work, although I wasn’t working at the time. We had been shopping and the whole time I kept thinking that something wasn’t right about my jeans but I could figure it out. Just as we are getting ready to go down the escalator, out come the underwear. I quickly snatch them up and try to hide them in my pocket. Since I was the first one of the family to go down the escalator, all of my family saw what I did. Don’t recall how long it took them to stop laughing. Just glad that nobody else, especially anybody from work, saw it.
SOOOooooo funny!
This old broad loved the story! Ah yes, the memory of trying to do way too much in a short amount of time with sick children. I am sure the same type of scenario has happened to me. You definitely need a sense of humor in this world. ๐
Bahahahahah!!!! Thank you for the much needed laugh ๐ ๐
This made me giggle… so something that would happen to me! ๐
Same thing happened to me. Except I was in high school sociology class! Fortunately no one else seemed to have noticed it. I’ve spent all these years thinking I was the only one.
