Custom Made Sheets

We received beautiful white sheets as a wedding gift. I have enjoyed them for about 18 months.

Then one day, I washed a load of blacks and didn't know that Troy's black pants had tar on them. So, I was sure to re-wash the laundry. Well, I screwed up and assumed all the tar was out of the machine and a few loads later, washed my WHITE sheets. Now, we have tar stained sheets.

However, as I go to bed each night, I am no longer disgusted at my mistake or Troy's. In fact, I am delighted in the fact that we have custom made sheets and no one on this earth has our exact sheet pattern.

Really, I am just grateful that we are not wasteful and we aren't throwing them away just because they are speckled with black now. We will use them until they fall apart, years from now. Who cares, no one comes in my bedroom anyway and looks at my sheets. The material is fine, I bleach them each week, so I know they are clean! Troy is glad that I didn't feel the desire to go out and waste another $100 replacing them too. We would rather use that money on tuition or other more important needed items.

So, if you are ever over at my house and you want to see this once in a lifetime set of sheets, just ask!
