Wacky Wednesday Writers Guest Post By: Dried-on Milk

    My WWW guest today is another funny favorite---- Stacia Ellermeier from Dried-on Milk . I love this woman's humor! The stories about her two young children and the family shenanigans that go on in her home always crack me up.  Stacia describes herself as a "modern day Lucy Ball," and after reading her story today, I think you'll agree with that title. This up and coming blogger was a finalist in the 2013 Blogger Idol and has since been featured in numerous sites. Did I mention that she is HILARIOUS???
   
     Please welcome the awesome and talented Stacia to Meno Mama's site today with lots of comment love. Thanks!



NAILED IT! No really, I literally hit it.

I ran over the direction sign at my daughters school this morning. With mah car. With everyone still inside. With everyone outside watching.

Totally did.


I didn't bump the sign or knock it over. I flat out ran over it. I came around the corner and I guess, took the corner a bit too sharp. I heard the car hit the sign but at that point it was too late. I had to just keep going. The whole BRIGHT orange plastic thing went down under my car and out the back.


I wasn't driving fast! A couple miles per hour? I was in the drop-off lane for God's sake!


By the looks of this picture, this also means I was up on the curb too. At a school where there are kids everywhere. I swear I wasn't under the influence. I mean I was under the influence for the need of caffeine but that's all, I SWEAR!

There was a teacher or somebody school-important standing on the sidewalk. The look on her face was mortification for ME. I looked at her with my mouth wide open and my lips turned up because I was desperately trying to suppress the giggle rising in my throat.

I did NOT just do that. What if I hit someone!!! OMG!!!

I was in a line of cars, the drop off lane where everyone and their dogs saw and heard me run over the sign.

Ava asked why I did that. Oh sweet baby girl because your mom is an idiot. You haven't been in school for a whole week yet and I'm doing a fabulous job of embarrassing you and this family. You're welcome. There is more where that came from, guaranteed.

This reminds me of the time I hit the daycare lady's gigantor recycling bin and sent it flying into the street... twice.

I think we can all agree that I will not be the one teaching the kids how to drive.

  2. Oh my gosh, you literally had me laughing from the moment you said, "With mah car." And you know what else I love? That we bloggers are such a-holes that we don't even care about things like--oops, I ran that over. We have to stop and take a picture of it so we can chronicle it on our blog. GUILTY!! I am definitely going to sign up to follow Dried-on Milk. Right now!

  4. I've told the kids for years it's got to be dad who teaches them to drive. 2 out of 4 are driving, and I taught them. -_- Dad better get w/it on the teen (she's just about old enough to drive) because I'm totally the one who would run over the sign. ;)

    1. OH hellz no! I seriously can't believe how many times I've nailed the daycare lady's recycling bin. You would think by now I'd look behind me. The orange cone was in front of me so I have no excuses.

  12. That's the kind of thing that makes you instantly all sweaty and a little dizzy...

    If it helps..most of us have done SOMETHING similar. Except those perfect people. Who don't exist.

  13. i had a similar moment once, just driving my kid to the bus stop—didn't even have to leave the neighborhood. first, i must point out that in telling this story, i have no intention of making any rude or racist remarks. it's just a statement of facts. as i was turning around in the cul-de-sac which was the site of said bus stop, i accidentally side-swiped the mailbox of a very nice asian family with the last name of "Ho." i'm not making this up. anyway, when i got home i went flying into the house saying to my husband, "you won't believe what just happened. i smashed into the Ho's mailbox and the grandfather was standing right in the driveway! to which my husband replied, "what? we have hos in our neighborhood? where?!!"

  14. I swear this is me...I probably should have a smaller car, and not the sherman tank I currently drive. And for the record - I did not teach my kids to drive. Enough said. Very funny stuff!
