Laundry Troubles...

Let me begin this post by saying that I'm very tired lately. I don't know, however, if that is excuse enough for what I am about to confess.
Yesterday morning, as usual, I threw in a load of laundry when I awoke. I grabbed the basket of 'colors' and dumped the basket into the machine, threw in the soap and started the washer. I realized that Brady had put a throw blanket from the studio in the basket, but for some reason I didn't check the cleaning instructions on the tag. About 30 minutes later I went to switch the load to the dryer. The throw blanket had disintegrated. There were pieces of it on EVERY item of clothing in the load. It was full of fuzz from the blanket. What a mess!
You would think that after 15+ years of doing laundry on an almost daily basis I would be above such mistakes....
