Have you seen those pictures that boast of three different kinds of people…the ones who roll the toothpaste up from the bottom, the ones who squeeze from the middle, and the ones who make a complete mess and squeeze from a different spot each time? My kiddos all three are the latter and they get that gene from me. 🙂 It drives Tab absolutely batty. So we solved the problem by each getting our own tube.
Finding a pair of matching socks in our house is the equivalent of finding the golden ticket on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. NEVER GONNA HAPPEN. May the odds be ever in your favor when you attempt this feat. 😉
I’m not sure this is even confession worthy, but I was trying to think of quirky things and it popped in my mind. I have a thing for shark movies. I don’t know why. I don’t know how to explain it, but I do.
When I drop my kiddos off in the carpool line (and have no where else to be) odds are I’ll be in my pajamas. Most of the time, my hair is in a messy bun. I’ve washed my face and brushed my teeth so I’m not looking crazy disheveled but I’m still in pajamas. On one particular morning, it was kind of crazy around my house…kiddos (and me) had waffles with Nutella for breakfast, we were running a little late so I was rushing us all, and I didn’t take ONE look in the mirror before loading everyone up. When the big kiddos got out, a teacher came over to chat with me (inside I was DYING because I realized I probably looked a mess) and when I drove off my peek in my rear view mirror revealed I had Nutella ON MY FACE!! You guys!!
I think that’s all my crazy for today. Or at least all I can remember or share. haha!
Do you guys have any crazy you’d like to share? If so, PLEASE comment! We’d love to read your crazy too!
Have a GREAT Monday, ladies! XO
This made me laugh out loud! We all have those crazy moments in our lives! Thanks for sharing
Oh, I love so many of these. And girl, I drop my kids off in my slippers every day. I have NO idea why it is so hard for me to put on real shoes?! I always swore I would never be the pj mom at drop off, and welp, here we are 😉 Oh, I give up on socks. Currently have a whole pile of mismatch ones and wish the kids luck as they find ones for school. #overit
I still laugh when you tell the Nutella story!! These "owning it" things were so funny!!! I had no idea you had a love for shark movies!!
Oh I love this post!! I can relate to so many. Pjs in drop-off line—YES! Wet shoe strings gross me out. We taught our oldest how to tie his shoes, and I basically feel awful because now he ties the other two’s shoes! 🤢I’m totally stealing the toothpaste idea too. All three of mine squeeze from wherever they grab also, and it drives my hubby bonkers! Such a good post!!
Love this and I agree having even the slightest possibility of a mouse would send me into high alert mode and calling for back up too !!
Yeah, I love the Nutella story. It's a good one!!!! You should totally bring back the Owning It posts…they are hysterical!
I love this! I once babysat for an entire evening with Nutella on my face and neither the parents or the kids told me! I was mortified when I got home and looked in the mirror!
Yeeeeesss to the gross nasty shoe laces!! My mom also taught both of my big kids to tie their laces. Yay for grandmas! These posts are my favorites.

Love it. I was also a teacher and I once got peed on. The little girl came up to me and asked to go to the bathroom and before I even answered her, warm pee down my leg. I had to throw my soggy shoes away and spent the rest of the morning in my bare feet while the custodian cleaned up the carpet. Your wet shoe laces made me think of it and we don't do ties in our house either. xoxo ERIN
These posts are always hysterical!! I'm laughing so hard at the Nutella story!! That is so funny!
Love this post!! Funny toothpaste story that just happened this weekend … we had our gender reveal party on Saturday night & typically my house is clean (especially when we have people over) well I didn't finish my upstairs … including my kiddos bathroom … which their sink was covered with toothpaste!! So I put our gate up at the stairs thinking that if it's there, no one would go up there. Leave it to my brother to go up there to use the bathroom & send a picture of their sink in a group text to me, my mom & sisters saying "do the kids ever get toothpaste actually on their toothbrushes?!?" 😂🤦🏼♀️ Too funny!
It took me awhile to figure out why you were freaking out about we laces. I have a 5-year-old boy and now I'm going to start buying velcro … lol. And I'm jealous of carpool drop-off. We still have to walk our kiddos into preschool and I literally daily play a game of "how little can I get ready to look acceptable." 😉

I can relate to so many of these!!!! The shoe tying….UGH! When I had K recess duty I use to make the kids find another student that could tie shoes and do it for them;) Also, the mice. GIRL!!!!!!!!! The lizards and mice. NO DIFFERENCE!!! Calling pest control ASAP! Hee hee!
SO funny. I, too, have a Nutella story. I teach college courses and found that I had Nutella on my face after one of my morning classes. I was so embarrassed. And, of course, it was a class where several students came up to ask questions after class. And not one of them told me that I had anything on my face.
Can totally relate to the drop off story….I usually get up stupid early and work out, so I'm in my sweaty workout clothes when I drop the kids off. Well, one morning my workout partner and I decided to "sleep in" so I was dropping the kids off in my robe–I had a nightgown underneath. Well, that day happened to be homecoming and the whole high school football team was opening car doors for the kids being dropped off. I happen to pull up-the first car in line and there is the ENTIRE football team standing in a line beside my car and one of them is opening my back door to help my kids out. Oh my word, I have never been so embarrassed. Well, it gets better. I go home to text my friends what just happened, get on Facebook and the high school football coach had posted a pic of my car front and center!!!! My friends were DYING. One was at work and she said her coworker asked her if she was ok, she was laughing so hard. Im never going to live that one down. ����♀️
haha! Girl you don't need a pest control guy to deal with mice. Just put some of that Nutella on a trap and bam! Have a great day!
LOL'ing at the Nutella story!
Hahahahhahaha…a teacher walking up to my car after drop-off would be the absolute WORST! When I take the boys, I roll up the same way and I always worry I'm either going to get a flat or get pulled over or have someone stop me to talk to me. These were so funny!
That Inspired Chick
I teach kindergarten & refuse to tie shoes! I start a shoe tying club & reward the kids with a small piece of candy when they show me they can tie their shoes themselves. Then when a kid asks me to tie their shoes I tell them go find someone in the shoe tying club! �� I'm totally grossed out by shoe laces especially wet ones, because we all know why they're wet! ��

I swear there is a sock heaven where all the socks go to live because we can never find matching socks especially for my girls. So most days they wear mis matched socks. It's like winning the lottery when we find matching socks ha!
I think I would rather buy a new pack of socks each week than match the washed ones! True fact. My 15 year old daughter frequently goes to school with 2 different socks on and we don't even bat an eye!
I got a good laugh about your Nutella story. We've all been there. My sons are grown up now but I had trouble with the shoe tying and bought Velcro for a while. They both learned eventually. For the boys I used to get all the same socks so they all matched. I wonder if that’s why they both like funky socks now? 😀
My little sister (26) doesn't even attempt to match her socks and just pulls out the first two socks she finds when getting ready in the morning. There have been many times where she comes over (I make everyone take their shoes off at the front door) and she is wearing one short black sock and one long white sock. It cracks me up every single time!
I love shark movies/week. We just watch 47 meters. I really hate the ending. I wanted closer. Like, here I am a year later moment.
Yes yes yessss with the shark movies. My Mom and I are obsessed with the shark movies. It’s totally a guilty pleasure.
I've never left a comment before, but I had to this time because oh my goodness, the nutella story!! I'm still laughing. I once drove to Costco and was halfway done with my shopping when I finally realized I was in my pajamas and had done nothing with my hair. True story. And I am totally with you on the shoelace thing. My third grader still doesn't know how to tie shoes. I should probably teach her. 🙂
