So I’m Not the Sharpest Knife in the Drawer
Golly bob I never know what day it is anymore. All day Wednesday and Thursday I thought it was Friday and now that it is Friday I can’t seem to get a grip on it. I’ve come to the conclusion that I can’t do it all, so I have to let some things go. I’m planning to let go of the remainder of the 2011 calendar. No more worrying about what day it is. If I step outside and it’s hot….summer. Cold….winter. That simple. No more pressure.
And while I’m dropping things that add pressure to my life, I am going to stop using my key fob. It confuses me.
Every time I want to open one of the automatic doors on my van I stare at the fob and try to figure out which button goes to the door I need to open. This is the kind of thing that James knows instinctively, but I go all blonde and can’t figure it out. More than half the time I push the wrong button and the pressure is too much for me. I’m an old-fashioned girl and have decided to use the doors the old-fashioned way….by opening the front door and pushing the little button behind the driver’s seat that automatically opens the passenger door. I’m boycotting the key fob entry.
I’m also boycotting droughts, hurricanes, earthquakes and TV shows that begin with the name, “Real Housewives of….”. Really, who are these women and what is real about them? I’d like to see “Real Housewives of Homeschooling.” There’d be no plastic surgery, no enormous diamonds, no huge charity events. Just lots of praying, denim, violin lessons and boys named Joshua.
I want to leave you with my favorite find on Pinterest from this week:
I’m not too proud to admit that I tried it. Oh, it makes me laugh!
Have a great weekend.
Lisa, are you sure you’re not a blonde? Well anyway, now you know what it feels like… not fun, huh? 😀 Love the “Real Housewives” comment; & as usual, you’ve brought a smile to my face.
Can I have your key fob then? The pictures are wearing off of mine…
If they decide to make a “Real Housewives of Homeschooling” I’m IN. I need to motivation to get out of my PJ’s for the film crew each day. And I think those boys are probably named “Jacob”…
Oh, man, Lisa…you make me laugh so much!! As for the key fob – have you tried just pushing both buttons? I mean, I would guess that you would have to load both ways anyway with all the kids so you’d need them both open. If not, just think of it as letting the air circulate! I’ve never had a desire to watch and “real housewives” – which don’t sound so real to me – but I like your idea of homeschooling housewives with sons named Joshua! I saw that quote…and that “no it doesn’t” and then realized what it meant…so it nearly fooled me. I used to be blonde but since I no longer color my hair, I guess I’m just gray and brown. My dad still teases me about being a blonde, though, cause I was for 20+ years…OK that’s all!

Lisa, Lisa, Lisa….I think you just might be a long lost twin of my Mom’s! This post reminded me of her so much – except the homeschooling part.
Those Real Housewives…they are wives mostly….that is about it. Who cares and who has time for such self absorbed women…I don’t watch and am glad.
Don’t worry Lisa, I tried it too!!!
Ha! Ha! Ha! And to top it all off, that quote has the period at the end in the wrong place. Yep, my Grammar Nazi self is flying off the handle at that one.
I’m with you on the Real Housewives. WHATEVER! I do not watch such shows. Even if there were a Real Homeschool Wives/Moms, the network or producers or director would do something to botch it up.
LISA! That is so funny! I read that quote on Pinterest this week and I swear, I sat for 5 minutes wondering why when I said gullible slowly it didn’t sound like oranges…oh, girl, this made me laugh! You, my dear, are the funniest woman I know…you are so amazingly witty and clever & you never cease to amaze me…
All reasons we love you so much!!! 🙂
I tried it, too. 🙂 Silly me!
I am all about boycotting hurricanes and earthquakes Both in one week is way too much. I think that the drought is worse causing just as much devastation but not getting the news attention. I also support boycotting the Fake women of anyting.
I think you have to have a very thick accent to make it sound like oranges…cuz my southern drawl didn’t work at all LoL
Oh my goodness, I laughed so hard at that pinterest comment that I have tears running down my cheeks – after I said it, of course!
haha, I fell for this the other day, and said it to my husband. He looked at me like I was crazy, and quietly said it over and over again until he bursts out laughing….he may or may not have called me a jerk 😉 I 100% agree with the Housewives comment.
