Five For Friday: Week of Weird

This week has been...different.  Some strange things have happened to me.  I've seen some strange things.  And one thing happened to me that totally took me by surprise and embarrassed me.  What else am I to do but put it in writing on a public blog on the interwebs??  Yeah...no keeping my embarrassing moments to myself. 
  1. Twice this week I accidentally ate soap.  Yes, I said accidentally.  And soap.  TWICE.  On Monday I was multitasking...eating a cookie and doing dishes.  That one is pretty self-explanatory.  On Wednesday, I was again multitasking...starting laundry and eating pizza.  Who does laundry and eats pizza??  Me.  That's who.
  2. I shut Jayna in the garage with all the doors closed and the garage door down.  She was in there all by herself.  In the dark.  But only for about 45 seconds.  See, I was taking the trash out to the garage to be prepared for trash day.  It was about 5 minutes before Jayna's bedtime and she was in her nightgown and everything...but she followed me out there.  She said, "I paint, mommy."  I said, "No, it's bedtime."  She said, "I go play dollies."  And I *thought* she ran back in the house to get her dollies.  I hurried and gathered the trash, turned off the light and darted back into the house to tell her to not get out all of her dolls because it was bedtime.  I yelled to her, "Jayna, don't get your dolls out...it's bedtime."  No answer.  "Jayna??"  No answer.  "Jayna, where are you??"  And that's when I heard a knock on the other side of the garage door into the house and a little voice say, "Mommy..."  I opened the door fully expecting a scared look and even some crying.  Nothing.  The kid was absolutely NOT bothered by being in the dark garage by herself.  I apologized to her and she promptly apologized to me.  I said, "You don't have to be sorry, baby.  It's mommy's fault."  And she responded, "It's okay, mommy.  I sorry too."  What an angel.
  3. There are eleventyjillion political signs on a few of the street corners that I pass everyday.  One said, "Vote Yes for NICK NOE Trustee."  I laughed..."Vote YES for NOE."  Haha.  And right next to it was "Elect JACK RUSSELL for Board Member."  And I thought, "Yes, I'm sure a little dog COULD do a better job than some elected officials."  I sure do love voting season. :)
  4. I went to JoAnn's yesterday to get ONE SKEIN of yarn.  It should've taken me 4 minutes.  Jayna decided that it was a good time to go potty on the big girl potty...3 TIMES IN 7 MINUTES.  What should have taken me 4 minutes took me 27.  Yay for potty training.
  5. My friend KT was out of town for the better part of the week.  She is a sort of new friend and I am embarrassed to say how much I missed her.  Having a buddy that I can communicate with on a daily basis is something that I've gotten used to very quickly.  Geez...I hope I don't screw this up. Haha.
What weird has happened to you lately??
