Why I Needlessly Used My Husband's Deodorant

Today I got up and began the daily routine. I was in the process of getting ready when my deodorant started to fall apart and fell out of the container onto the floor. I tried to carefully put it back, but I couldn't salvage a scrap of it and it got all over the bathroom floor, sink, mirror (don't ask me how it got there, but it did). I usually buy deodorant in packages of 2 and I remembered a recent trip to Target so I started to search the bathroom for the deodorant. I went through the tubs underneath the sink. I looked in the husband's deodorant stash. I went into the closet we have in the bathroom and did a thorough search. Finally the desperate desire to not stink took over and I used my husband's deodorant with the full intention of making a Target run later that day.

But first things first. I needed to clean up my bathroom after the prior incident. I started to clean up the floor. While I was at it I decided just to go ahead an do a weekly swipe down of the whole bathroom. I took off my ring as I started to scrub so as to not scratch it up. As I was swiping and busily cleaning I heard the boy screaming after only 30 minutes of nap time. He has an upset tummy so I went in to rock him back down.

I got done cleaning and I placed my hand in my pocket for my ring and it was gone.

I started to search. I searched the bathroom. I went through the dried clothes. I checked the drier, washer, and underneath my bed. I started to panic. I called the husband close to tears. He told me that it was still in the house and we would find it eventually. I got off the phone and started to go through the trash. I stopped myself after a few minutes and decided to search the bathroom.

I found my deodorant in the back of a drawer. Whew. WAIT! My ring. The baby started crying and it had been over an hour so I went to get him up. There in the rocker in his nursery was my ring. Whew.

So, I guess I needlessly used my husband's deodorant this morning. But on the bright side I didn't have to go to Target.
