Anyway, this post is a little more ‘light hearted’ than the others. I thought I would share with you some silly things that I’ve done in my life and the lessons I have learned from them. I have:
- put rice cakes in the toaster. Note to self: Rice cakes can be flammable.
- filled the washer with laundry and put the water level on minimum instead of maximum (twice). Note to self: Too many clothes with not enough water will burn out the motor (every time!)
- vacuumed hot embers from the fireplace hearth. Note to self: Hot embers inside a vacuum filled with dust are also flammable... and can damage the vacuum cleaner too!
- set a plate of food on the coffee table. Note to self: The coffee table is within doggie reach.
- set a wet paint project on the floor to dry. Note to self: Don’t get mad at the dog when wet-paint puppy prints end up all over the project and the floor! It’s a good thing it was in the garage!
- drank too much vodka. Note to self: Bad stuff happens when you drink vodka... ‘nuff said!
- took photos at wrong times. Note to self: When the lay-z-boy chair tips over backwards, stop laughing and taking photos, and help BF up off the floor. (For those who are not 100% computer literate, BF means Boyfriend)
- tried to be the ‘perfect housewife’. Note to self: With issues such as; flooding the kitchen, not being able to figure out how to turn on the vacuum cleaner, and fires on the stove (once or twice... well, ok, ok... quite a few times) it means you are not Martha Stewart and you likely never will be. Accept it!
- tried to make oatmeal – the old fashioned way. Note to self: Oatmeal is not that hard to do!!... but when the dog refuses to eat it, something did not go right.
- rescued a kitten from inside a heating duct. Note to self: Even 8 week old kittens have claws sharp enough to shred an arm. Reminder to self: Next time you rescue a kitten, wear thick clothing for protection.
OK... I hope you had a good laugh at some of those things; but, seriously, I bet you also did some silly things. Please share them with me in the comment section below.
~~ Dear God ~~ Please forgive me for all the times I have ‘jumped before I looked’, ‘spoke without thinking’, ‘acted without using the intelligence you gave me’. Thank You for being there to protect me and rescue me each time I end up in a mess. Oh, and one more thing, Lord. I am so happy that You do not keep a count, because I am sure that the number of times I have fowled things up are at a very high number. In Jesus name, AMEN.
