It’s so important to be able to laugh at yourself. Sometimes.
I know I’m prone to taking myself too seriously so this is something I’m working on. Thought I’d share a few moments lately where if I didn’t laugh I’d probably cry … or just get really cranky at myself (and there’s no fun in that is there?!).
- Needing my husband to open the dishwasher powder because I can never get past the kiddy lock on those bottles. Sometimes I struggle with the mouthwash bottle too. Sigh.
- Trying to apply the foot-brake in my Corolla every time I park – my Corolla has a handbrake, our other car uses foot-brake! I’m also good at trying to start the car with the wrong key.
- Paying bills twice, in the same month. Too organised? Nah, too sleep deprived!
- That moment when the phone rings in the evening and I hope so much that it might be my mum (that’s a mean one).
- The kids play a game called ‘yellow car’. So every time we see a yellow vehicle it’s a race to see who can shout ‘yellow car’ first. I play it when I’m in the car by myself. It must look pretty stupid to see the single lady yelling. But I also sing along to the radio like I’m on Idol and can only imagine what that looks like. Hehe.
- My ever-increasing ability to sleep anywhere is interesting. I can sit down for five minutes after tea and wake up an hour later. I’ve even been known to catch a few zzzzzzs in the school car park. I always set my phone alarm if I sit down to read at lunchtime – full tummy, comfy sofa, you can imagine how that goes, I’d probably sleep through school pick up…
Laugh, Abbie, laugh, it’s really not that bad!
Hey, I’m right there with you on the car Idol performances. I’d have won the show if my car was the set.

I do that handbrake, foot brake thing all the time, or attempt to change the gears and end up turning on the windscreen wipers…the car with footbrake also has a column gear shift….very embarrassing when someone else is in the car.

Haha. I’m always amazed at how surprised I am when I go for the foot brake and it’s not there. You think I would have figured it out after six months!!!
