I just sneezed an unavoidable sneeze while in the middle of having a bite of lunch.

They always say be kind to people because you don’t know what battles they’re fighting. Except for me - one look at my yard and you know what battle I’m fighting. Nutsedge. My battle is nutsedge.

You know vacation is going great when I finally snap and yell “will you just STOP!!” to the bee that kept pestering me.

Unemployed surprise #23

I can’t stand coffee, but I’ve been in more coffee shops for networking & pre-interview meetings these past 2 months than i have in the rest of my entire adult life.

Tonight I discovered that if I were ever to snap, it wouldn’t be due to something like road rage or unnecessary rudeness or any of the “normal” reasons.

If I just lose it one day, you can bet it was because someone was mumbling.

Me: okay, ham sandwiches for lunch tomorrow.

My kids: aw man! We just had peanut butter sandwiches last week! Can’t we have cold hotdogs instead?!

Me: you literally had summer sausage and crackers today

Kids: yeah, but that’s different!

Welp. Some days you go to work with a job and you come home without one.

Anyone looking to hire a LEGO man to do some design and architecture, let me know.

Asked 8 what he wanted to do for boys night (the ladies were off to a play at the high school) and after thinking a bit, he looked me in the face and said “I want to build a table”

Okay Bob Vila, let’s build a table then.

I’ve not seen anybody die of embarrassment as quickly as my 12yo when her grandpa asked loudly, in a busy restaurant, if she was “one of those Twisties” while pointing to her bracelet.

Snowplows in my area do their job about as effectively as my kids clean the house. “Oh, this was 3 lanes? How about 3/4 of a lane instead?”

After shoveling for 4.5 hours across an 18 hour span, I ache so much I’m hobbling around the house like the long lost 3rd Wet Bandit.

Removing all Christmas songs that mention snow from our family playlist because global warming has eliminated our chances of seeing any.

Thanks a lot, old people.

Usually in the drive-thru I’ll start my order with “can I get a….(food order)”

But SOMETIMES, I accidentally turn into a drive-thru Jay-Z and say “can I get a….fuck you”

Today was one of those days.
