Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

Speaking of laundry, as well as the standard infant bodily fluids that usually complement my outfit, I added bloodstains to finish off my look today. Andrew managed to trip and bust his nose because he didn't want his trousers pulling up. He's fine but it was a dramatic mess! We had to watch a lot of 'hey duggee' to calm down.
PS, as kids shows go, hey duggee is actually not bad! Cannot stop singing the stick song though. Whoever came up with that obviously enjoyed a rave or two in the 1990s.
Is this something I can YouTube when I get home?0 -

Me: is there no coffee in the supply closet?
Jane Doe: I don't know. I didn't look.
Me: (goes to closet, brings back coffee, dumps in drawer) Problem solved.
Seriously? You're an adult. You have children. And you can't open a closet door to see if there's coffee in it?
This happened at work today. First day back after being off ill for 3 days, the printer/copy machine was out of paper. All I got was "Yeah, wasn't sure where the paper is". This is a 7 room building, no bigger than a house. It wouldn't take you long to find it. 1 room is the kitchen, 2 of the rooms are toilets, 3 are offices and the last one is the Archive and Store Room. Take a wild stab where you think the paper would be?
Cretin.
Umm... I would start in the store room and then try Lois' office, but apparently I am smarter than the average engineer. LOL!3 -
Headed on a work road trip today, then a haircut. Maybe spaghetti and garlic bread for dinner. Have a little charity powerlifting meet tomorrow that's more just for fun than anything.
Hey, @Lois_1988, I heard an English saying and I wanted to see if you knew it. "Teaching your grandma to suck eggs." Is that a common saying?0 -

Sometimes I find it scary that these people are in charge of fire protection in London offices and residential buildings.
I'm taking it as he couldn't be bothered to find it.2 -

Oh yes, it's a massive thing in the mummy brigade! And daddy brigade too. My husband secretly loves hey duggee more than Andrew does.1 -

Hey, @Lois_1988, I heard an English saying and I wanted to see if you knew it. "Teaching your grandma to suck eggs." Is that a common saying?
Yes it is. It means telling someone something they're already an expert in, as though you know better (when you don't). An example is my dad who likes to question or correct my mother's French. My mother is French. My dad isn't, and doesn't even speak it very well to say they've been married for 37 years!3 -

Day one of intuitive eating and not calorie counting.
Mostly because I decided to try to take care of myself and pull myself out of this relapse because Religious Reasons or something like that.
Also, it is -17 degrees F today so I am not exercising at all and staying in bed reading Neil Gaiman all day.4 -

Yes. There's an art to emptying an egg shell ready for painting.2 -

Apparently they are here! To be fair, my mum who is a grandma knows how to suck eggs (well blow eggs) after all the Easter decorations we made as kids, so it holds up!2 -

I have always wanted to do that...blow eggs and paint them. We just boiled and colored them.1 -
