T shirt and NO pants on...

You know you realllllly need a break when...you leave the house with no pants on. This morning I did what I normally do. I got up, showered, fixed my hair, put on my makeup, put on my shirt, and got the kids up and dressed for school. I made them breakfast, fixed them juice, and put them in the car. I put on my shoes, jewelry, sunglasses, perfume, and body splash. I even put on my seatbelt...but I FORGOT my damn pants!!!!!!!!! I literally drove almost 10 miles before I realized, "stupid you forgot your pants." I kept saying "It sure is chilly out today..." I even turned my air off...I couldn't figure out why I was so cold until I LOOKED DOWN. I couldn't believe that I was driving around with NO pants on but fully dressed (including shoes) otherwise. I'm sure my children were like... "umm yeah, she's finally lost it." So I turn around...truck it back home...and put on my pants. Talk about ASHAMED!

Speaking of kids...they are something else. The other night Daddy put a hole in the ceiling (another story in and of itself) and Sydnee took it upon herself to tell on him. Our normal routine is I get them ready in the mornings and Daddy prepares them for bed at night. So when the kids and Daddy disappeared the other night I knew it was bed time...little did I know, Daddy was on his own Dora and Diego adventure in the attic. You see, there is a leak SOMEWHERE in our attic. I determined the source of the water coming through but maybe I wasn't convincing enough for Daddy because he insisted on investigating the leak himself. There was one thing he wasn't banking on though...*see below photo*

Yeah...there's a beachball sized hole in my ceiling only because Daddy didn't listen to Mommy. Isn't there a lesson to be learned here folks?

So anyway...Sydnee comes downstairs, pats me on the leg...and says "Moommmmy Daddy put a hole up thayar." Amused I asked, "Up whayar?" She replied, "Up THAYAR" (as if to say, dammit quit acting like you don't know what I mean!!!) I go upstairs and there's Daddy smiling and I'm sure thinking "I sure as hell hope she doesn't go off..." His vibes didn't mesh well with mine b/c I think I lost it for a second. LOL Of course I was determined to find the good in this situation so I decided to ask the kids what happened. "Kids?" I said, "Did Daddy fall out of the sky?" Of course Alex says "Yeah *smirk*" (his answer to everything is "yeah") and Syd looks at me like "didn't I just TELL you that???" I thought that was the funniest thing.

Lastly, as I type this blog from my Blackberry I just have to wonder...why do people put the disclaimer that "this message was sent from my Blackberry...please excuse spelling and typing errors" as if there isn't a spell check feature on the device. I'm hoping that all Blackberries aren't created equal or something b/c I just don't understand how hard it is to choose "Check Spelling" from the menu and CHECK IT! Now I understand grammatical errors b/c I don't THINK there is a grammar check feature but seriously people...

G'Day Folks,

Lady Doss
