Ever have one of those moments where you think, "Heavenly Father just taught me a lesson"... ? Well, I had one the other day. In fact, I'd rather forget about, but my family teased me to no end last night at Family Home Evening about it, & Brooklyn wanted to know if I was going to blog it. Ha ha ha, they all laughed at my expense. But then it was really so funny that I thought you guys might need a good laugh today. Here goes:
I was in the bathroom fixing Brooklyn's hair for school. She's SO STINKIN' PICKY that no matter how hard I tried to make it like she wanted it, she'd complain & make faces like I was the most retarded hairdresser in the world. In my frustration with her, I screamed a string of, "I'm never gonna fix your freakin', stinkin' poopy, ugly hair again in my entire life!" (or something to that effect. Brooklyn would know the exacts of what I said, and I'm sure she'd be happy to tell them to you as she laughs real hard...) then I turned in a huffy & ran STRAIGHT INTO THE DOOR FRAME!! The thud was loud. The laughter from all my family was louder. Deafening even. I actually PICTURED Heavenly Father laughing lovingly as the bump began to form on my head. Luckily I had enough sense to laugh about it, too, before I had any more "teaching" moments come my way. And luckily my hair covers the bruise...
I saw this MormonAd at the Distribution Center yesterday, & Tony bought it, chuckling, to put up in our house. Can you guess why Family Home Evening last night was such a funny episode, at my expense? Tony was on the lesson & this poster was his Visual Aid. Just wait, babe, for next Monday night. I'll come up with something...

Ha ha ha...I'm laughing at you, too! :) That's hilarious - all of it- but I especially love that Tony used it as a teaching moment for FHE! At least you had a good attitude about it and were able to start laughing, too - I would've been even more mad and huffy! Hee hee....I'm still laughing at the visual... why don't you post a picture of your bump? Chicken?!
I TOLD you the hair covers it!!! Blessing in disguise! (Or maybe Heavenly Father thought I'd had enough humiliation for one night...)
I'm sorry, but that is a little funny. Laughing at yourself is the best thing to do in embarrassing situations.
I LOVE Mormon ads! I have a bunch of them stuck on the wall in my closet (they had to go in the closet so they wouldn't interfere with the beauty of my almost-perfect bedroom.)
Ha ha, you funny chick!! Thanks for the laugh. . . dang I'm not looking forward to having to do a girls hair now!
Fun story! Thanks for sharing, wish I would've been there to experience it 1st hand! That's what I love about this blogging thing, I get to hear these fun stories all the time now~ And WOOT WOOT! DID you say you'd be in St. George for spring break?!!! I think I might pee right now, I'm so excited!
I have been talking to the lord and expressing to him how bad I felt ever since you called me "overweight". Sounds like her heard my prayer:):)
Thanks for playing on the volley ball team. You were a great help!! Dor.
Wow I was in a hurry when I posted the above comment. I promiseee me gramer isn'tt tht bad. u get the point:0)
Hang on there, Dor! I didn't call you overweight... I merely expressed concern for that poor antler chair having your body in it! Call you crazy, but I've never seen an Elk wandering around with a peron's BUTT planted in its antlers! :) Seemed unnatural, really. And as for the Lord hearing your prayers... did you just use the term "her" ??? Oh, your teaching moments are coming next, buddy! Beware of the door frame!
Guppy, I have also had one of those teaching moments recently. It was kind of on the same thing as your teaching moment. I wanted to blog about it when it happened, but never found the time. It was on a Sunday morning. Travis and I were going to go leave for church in a few minutes. (He is usually the only one in my family that goes with me at this point in time.) While we were waiting to leave, I asked Kayla and Travis for input on colors to redo my bathroom in. Travis came up with a nice suggestion. Kayla just told me she would go shopping with Bryan and choose them for me, since she was the one to use the bathroom. I of course told her that I would be choosing the colors for my house, but she could give me input. Then she got upset with me and starts getting rude and disrespectful. I of course got mad right back. I ended up calling her an immature child and I’m sure I yelled at her a few other things. I ended up getting to church with Travis and of course did not have the proper spirit at all.
Let me tell you what the subject of sacrament was on. It was a total of 3 different speakers on controlling anger and not getting offended. I won’t go into all the details of the talks. But basically they just told me about how nobody can offend me. I can choose to be offended, or to not be offended. And of course, in order to have the spirit with me in my life, I need to choose to not be offended. They suggested thinking about whether the thing that upset me would really matter in 5 years. And they reminded me that contention was of the devil. And contention drives away the peace of Christ. Of course the speakers were way more eloquent than me, but you get the idea.
So I was thinking, will this matter in 5 years? The thing Kayla did really wouldn’t have even mattered in 5 minutes if I really would have thought about it. Of course I wasn’t going to let her choose the colors for my house without me, so it was pointless to get mad at her.
Sorry this is so long.qpgbx
Hee hee...silly me! I assumed you meant you could hide it with your bangs or something, but I'm guessing you mean it's in your hairline?
Koriann you are wonderful- human enough to admit to that and super human enough to find the humor and go on. Thats to key to growing, I think. Love the poster, personal favorite since I need reminding constantly.
I am glad that I am not the only one that has a too picky daughter in the hair department. Every Sunday, I get so worked up because I have to hear my daughter complain and whine about holding still or the way I'm doing her hair. I've learned that almost every other day is not worth the fight and even some Sundays, in order to keep the peace, I'll sometimes cave and just put a barette in so that we don't completely lose the spirit. Sorry about the bump though, that sounds like something that'd happen to me. You're so lucky to have such a wonderful husband to help you to see your mistakes like that. :)
LOL!!! I love how your family is so close! You guys are so fun loving with each other. Never loose that gift!
ha ha you guys are awesome! I'm dreading the whole hair thing when Avery's older, because I can remember doing the SAME thing to my mom! But right now I spend all this time on it and she pulls it out and laughs at me.. so frustrating! I'm sorry about your bruise!!
I laughed my butt off! If I would have hit the wall, I think it would have made me a lot more mad. It makes me feel better as a mom knowing I'm not the only one who gets upset their kids and yells things at them that I regret later!
I love all of your funny stories!
