  • What a way to start the week…sigh

    November 9, 2010

    Yes, not one but two Oh Crap moments to start the week off right.  The first was yesterday when my  kids and I were making Chocolate Dudes (I think they are actually called no bake cookies, but my brother called them this once and the name stuck) and I was only going to make a single batch.  Well, everything was going fine until we put the oatmeal in – all 6 cups of it.  That was when I realized I’d make a mistake – Oh Crap! – I’d doubled the oatmeal.  It clumped and dried up right away and I realized that we were going to have to make another batch of the “sauce” to make up for the additional oatmeal.  So, that’s what we did and Chris added more milk to it to save it from further damage and it came out just fine. Phew – crisis averted.

    This morning I was looking in the dishwasher to see if the dishes were clean because I only vaguely remembered running it yesterday.  Yep, clean.  Then I looked at the dial –  Oh Crap – I’d stopped the cycle last night so I could hear my mom on the phone over the noise of the dishwasher.  It is now running on the water saver wash – those dishes will be extra clean won’t they.  *SIGH*

    So that's why my spoon this morning looked even more devilishly handsome than before.

    Oh, wait. Nope.

    That's just me ;)

About Me

Mom avatar

Hi - welcome to Oh Crap! and if you come back enough times you'll soon find out why I named my blog that.

I am an unperfect mom to 8 great kids: 5 boys and 3 girls (and I had them in that order too).

I have been married for either 40 really long or really short years depending on how my day is going.

Even though I have homeschooled my children for the last 31 years, I am certainly no supermom - unless you count the days I have to rescue my daughters from a moth in their room.

I love coffee, chocolate, and music from the 80's. I enjoy reading books, chick flicks, and thirtysomething.

So, that's me in a nutshell (and I'm probably more of a nut than you know). Thank you for visiting me on my blog!
