#Fail

Things have been going along famously over here in the S&P house. Everything is dandy and wonderful and nothing has gone wrong. Not one single thing. There have been no #Fail moments, at all.

Well, except these:

Fail #1:

I bought this adorable, lightweight (see through) little cowl-ish neck sweater for myself. (I'm so fashion forward, aren't I? HA!) And I wore it. Three times. I wear a cream colored cami underneath and it covers all the bits and parts. Or, so I thought. At CHURCH the other day, Sis points out that she can see my bra through the back. I'm like - oh, well cover it and she's like, "Uh, mom? There' s no covering that thing." I'm talking, of course, about my big ass nursing bra. The cami? Hits right BELOW the bottom seam of the bra. So the big bra sticls out COMPLETELY and everyone at church has seen this. THREE TIMES. WHy did no one mention this before???



Sexy, no?

Fail #2:

See this kid? Oh, he *is* a handful. I'm not kidding. The one that gets yelled at the most? Beetle. The one that I chase the most? Beetle. The one that INFURIATES me consistently? Yep. Beetle. And the one that gives the best hugs? Beetle.


So the other day Rob & I are in the house and the kids are playing outside. Corbs comes in giggling and tells daddy he better come outside. I'm nursing the baby and Rob hollers from outside, "Babe - I think you need to come see this!". I'm irritated but I go. Know what I saw when I got out there?

Beetle, naked as the day he was born, playing cars in front of the garage.

ALERT! Two-part FAIL! We failed to snap a picture for posterity (and blogging!).

Fail #3:

Beetle is potty trained now - YAY! Well, he has been for awhile but whatever. *I'M* still celebrating that I don't have to change toddler poop. *gag* So, anyway. Beetle goes potty on his own. And pulls his own pants up.




Mostly.

Eh, there's more but why bother? I still have to go make 2 more pans of brownies (I already made 1 pan and 4 dozen chocolate chip cookies), 2 loaves of bread, organize my coupons, fold some laundry...blah blah blah.

Ring Ring
Me: Hello?
person: Hey heidi - what're you doing?
Me: Putting my head in the oven. I can't keep up with all this crap!
Person: You do know your oven is electric, right?
Me: Oh. Well. Shit.

Another Fail.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Beetle is a cutie!

P.S. At least it was just your bra showing... it could have been worse; your boob could have popped out.

Nobody cares to tell me about my clothing failures either.

I hope you're not going to share the 3 pans of brownies, and 4 dozen chocolate chip cookies with anyone. You deserve every wonderful bite. Then you can come back and tell us about your weight loss failure.

aaaaah...I have many plumber pictures of the My Little Terror as well. I envy you. Mine isn't potty trained quite yet. I just cleaned poop out of swimming trunks.....again.

Too funny! Don't you just love wardrobe mishaps...my guys never tell me anything. I think it's because they don't pay attention ;)

Cute stories and picture of Beetle (adorable nickname!)

That's why I never leave the house. No one would tell me my boulder holder was on display, they would think it was funny to let me walk around like that.

You know it's bad when your KID recognizes that you have a blogworthy moment unfolding (courtesy of him), and suggests you take a picture. So maybe it's a good thing that no one snapped one of Beetle and his public attire? :)

Ahh, the church wardrobe malfunction... the worst combination.

Loving that shot of your little guy pulling his pants up (or not). That is totally the scene at our house these days. Dang kid has been pottytrained since he was 20 months. GAH.

Wardrobe malfunctions are quite funny...it gives the old people something to talk about. I love it when I go to church and wear either a tanktop or strappy sundress - one of the old biddies says, "Look at those tattoos" everytime...I've had the tattoos on my shoulders for years.

How adorable! The tushie pic is blackmail material when he starts dating, lol!

My guy let's me out of the house with all kinds of wardrobe fails!

Love the phone call at the end, sounds like me and my bestie on the phone lol!

Oh, and on a side note, my daughter's name is Heidi!

I have one of those shirts. Hate it! I'm always wondering what's peeking out plus it seems to highlight my rolls. The nakedness in your house is pure awesome!

Susie said...

LOL!! I am glad that I am not the only one who does silly stuff like that:-)

LLA_Princess said...

My whole wardrobe and parenting skills feel like a big fail most days. Thanks for making me feel better that i'm not alone haha

I have a shirt that I CAN NOT find a bra to wear with because everything I've tried you can still see the straps...I've almost decided just to be trashy and let my bra straps show:) Isn't potty training fun! We are still working on it too and I'm not sure we are ever going to get there! Good luck with all those brownies. Oh and apparently I need your brownie recipe since I make mine from a box!!

Kameron said...

That sucks that your bra was showing. I hate discovering things like that!! Oh and B and Natey would be nudist best buds. Nate will strip down neked at any chance. lol

We have a "Beetle" at my house too, Heidi. He's almost 15 now, and my gosh he's made me tired over the years. Here's the thing though, when you have those breakthrough moments, the ones where they "get it" or surprise you, well, it's pretty priceless.

Hang in there. They're worth it. (Good thing the Beetles of the world are almost always adorable, no?)
