One of My "Duh!" Moments

Published on August 11, 2005 By JillUser In Home & Family

There I was trying to be handy in the garage (feel free to snicker as you should), drilling a starter for a hook to hang a ladder when the drill bit got stuck and came right out of the drill. (Here comes the "duh!") So I grabbed right ahold of the bit intending to pull it out and carry on. Well, seems this thing called friction heated that sucker up hot enough to blister me on contact.

Luckily, both children were safe inside the house when choice words started to fly. I then realized that I have become my father. The only time I ever heard my dad cuss growing up was when he was injuring himself in the garage. Some women turn into their moms, I think I'm turning into my dad. I have truly arrived as an adult

I need my boo-boo kissed

Thanks Dr Guy. I wouldn't blame ya if you did laugh at me though. I would have! My blisters make it a little uncomfortable to type so there might be an increase in typos for a while.

For anyone asking themselves,...yes, I am blonde

LW, gah! I hope I don't ever have to start shaving! My dad doesn't do the "pull my finger" thing but we do have one wedding picture where he is pointing at my hubby and laughing and you can just imagine that as the caption

.."pull my finger." (hehe, like my dad loves to do.)

Someone actually does this in real life? I've only ever seen this on tv.

Poor Jill. Never mind...here's a smooch for the boo boo!

We all have "duh" moments.

My latest one was when I left the house I remembered I forgot my cell phone. So I unlocked the door and put the keys in my mouth.

I then spent 5 minutes looking for my cell phone. Only reason I found it was dialing my number from my home number.

I then spent another 5 minutes looking for my keys before I realized I still had them in my mouth.

Now here comes the good part not the first time that's happened.

I have had to do that with my hubby's cell uDigit and the key thing totally sounds like something I would do. I have been holding a child on my hip freaking out wondering where they are only to realize they are right there in my arms. Kind of like having your glasses on your head

you do not have to be a blond to have blond moments, I walk around the house all the time looking for my glasses only to find I have them perched on top of my head.
