Wall of shame post, right here.
In the past two days there are a couple of things I've done that might be on the side of "what in the world has gotten into ya, woman." The first, not such a big deal.
Confession #1:
My workload is insane. My superior is out on business travel and calls me about all the items on my plate and to see if I am okay. I tell him I'm "chill" with the workload. Yes, I used the world chill. And he laughed, because it was me and I can be kind of open and honest about everything and tell it like it is. But, chill? I'm not so sure what got into me. Just one of those days, I guess.
Okay, hold on to your hats or pants or what have you for this second one.
Confession #2:
We went to one of the zoos in our neck of the woods yesterday as part of Josh's birthday, and I'm not saying which one lest you report me to zoo authority. Josh forgot his sweatshirt at one of the rides so he went back to get it. Meanwhile, I am at the car with the girls when Bea tells me she has to go to the bathroom. Fortunately, it was #1 and not #2. There wasn't a bathroom remotely close, and I am pretty sure we wouldn't have made it. So, I asked her if she was okay to go right there on the ground, pop a squat style. And she says yes. We are placed between our car and another and I tell her to go and to go quick. There was a lot of pee. And she splashed me a little bit with it. Then, just as we were pulling up her pants, up rolls Josh. I couldn't tell if he was going to burst out laughing or if he was shocked and horrified at what he just witnessed. Did I mention there was a lot of pee? I used water to wash it away a little bit. Definitely not my proudest moment, but I seriously think I am not the only one who has done this.
Okay, I've spilled it. Internets, you gotta share. I don't care what it is - self related, parenting related, work related - something you did that just didn't quite add up as logical in your head after you did it. This is a free zone, and I promise not to tell anyone or judge you in any way. And also, don't make me feel like the only idiot spilling the beans.

A Little Bit Shady

All right, I'll tell you a story, but don't tell my wife that I told you. Deal?
When we were first dating we went out to the desert with my whole family and a bunch of friends. We were way out in the desert in a dune buggy, me, my wife, my cousin, and my uncle. A bunch of other dune buggies and dirt bikes were with us. We were last in line. My wife had to pee, and she seemed shocked that there were no restrooms in the middle of the desert.
My uncle told her that she would have to go behind a rock and squat and he promised not to tell anyone. She did it and when we rode back into camp someone asked what happened to us and my uncle immediately says "Helen had to get out and squat!" She was mortified, but luckily not enough to break up with me.
That is so funny! Did you know that I actually keep a little potty in the trunk of our car for such occasions? And, it's actually been used way more than once. It keeps me "chill" when traveling.
Oh that's not so bad. I'm sure I've done something way worse. Hmmm let's see. Every season I regift all the fancy gift bags we receive. And yes that requires remembering who gave which one. It's complicated but it saves tons of dough.
There, totally shameful.
Thats it? I pee in the pool everytime I swim...kidding...sort of
I once peed at the Carribean Beach resort at Disney World. Outside someone's window.
"Chill". That's hilarious!
And the second, not so bad. When a kid's gotta go, they've gotta go! I'm sure there's some amusing anecdote I could share about myself now but nothing's coming to mind.
I guess I probably shouldn't tell you that we have a designated spot in our backyard where the V-meister is allowed to pee if she feels that she cannot make it into the house on time.
