  • Not enough sleep? Hormone crash? You be the judge!

    February 15, 2012

    Today after lunch I was going to ask my two sons, Joe and Steve, to clear the table from lunch.  However, that’s not what came out, this is what I said:

    “Joe and Steve, would you go ahead and turn the tv off please.”

    WHA????  Even Joe said, “What did you say??” and then laughed his head off.  *rolling eyes*

    That’s right up there with the time that I told one of my older boys (then a youngster) to “hop in the toilet” when I meant “hop in the tub”.  Oh yeah, I can still hear the guffawing today.

    So,  when I went to Aldi to pick up a few things we needed, I saw a Christmas cd in the van and put that in to listen to on my way there.  Instantly I was soothed by the sounds of the Trapp Family Singers singing old fashioned carols.  But, it doesn’t stop there!  I went in to Aldi, and immediately grabbed a giant Fruit and Nut bar and some of their yummy hazelnut wafer bars.  Down the aisle I also grabbed two boxes of brownie mix so I could whip up a treat for the kids.  Hey, Mom is having a bad day – let’s all have chocolate!

    Did I say bad day?  Oh yeah, I forgot about the Broccoli Cheese Soup that was almost just broccoli soup (I used the cheese packets from 2 boxes of mac and cheese to make it do).   Well, it was nothing that Christmas music and chocolate couldn’t cure.  Oh, and maybe I’ll get more sleep and have a brain cell infusion too.  Couldn’t hurt right?

    Cheese packets from Mac n Cheese. That's some good old fashioned German ingenuity right there.

    Also, the "hop in the toilet" thing seems vaguely familiar.

    Yep - I know how to work things. Oh, and I did make the brownies and swirled the leftover caramel sauce we had in it. They look GOOD! I'll eat one for ya :-).

    I remember the "hop in the toilet" comment like it was yesterday - I know I laughed for awhile too.

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!
