I have my talents, but some of the
job description of homemaker is a bit out of my
skill set.
Here are
three homemaking-related questions that have come up over the last 12 hours:
1.
What are these greenish-blue crystals that appear in Rhett’s tub?
The crystals magically appear while the tub is being filled. There are no toys or washcloths in the tub. It doesn’t happen to any of the other tubs in the house. Randomly they don’t appear, but most the time they are there.
2.
How do I ask for this light bulb? Should I take the picture to the store?
Our main bathroom downstairs light has been burned out for a few days. The boys refuse to pee in the dark. Last night I got several replacement light bulbs, the ladder, un-screwed the 3 bolts that held the heavy glass fixture in place only to uncover this.
Huh?
I don’t have any bulbs that size.
Neither does Target.
I guess I will be taking a trip to Home Depot this week.
3.
How do I do it?
I made this cake.
This is what the picture on the box looks like.
Yummy!
This is what my cake looked like.
Yummy*!
*the boys called it a pancake
Yes, That is a double layer cake that measures in at less than one inch.*
*Ryan did say that it tasted better than it looked. I mean, it still was cake…sugar, flour, eggs, frosting…

1) Have you ever used those little pellets that change the color of your water? Did they get into your tub salts?
2) Probably by the time you buy that light bulb you can buy a new light fixture. If you insist, I would measure it at least. Hurry, though, thank God your boys are too scared to pee in the dark. I am scared of what I would find when I got the light fixed if I let my boys pee in the dark.
3) that is what bakeries are for
KEEP BELIEVING
Leave it to Rachel to know what that light bulb was lol
The cake looks delicious regardless of whether or not it looks like the box. The pictures on the box are never what they appear.
How many Texans dos it take to change a light bulb? See my last post, I can help you with all this and much more! (the answer is 3. 1 to take the bulb to Home Depot, 1 Home Depot guy to hand you correct bulb and 1 cashier to check out your purchase!
i TOLD you that we were separated at birth.
either that, or you sneaked that cake out of my kitchen….
The crystals could be remnants from his fancy bath salts. Or perhaps he brushes his teeth while showering, and the whitening crystals get left behind? Or the aliens have left behind tracking devices.
The cake is surely a product of expired baking powder/soda, which can get too old and refuse to leaven anything.
As for the bulb? I always take them in to buy a match.
HAHAHA That looks JUST like the cakes I always make!
I take those pics like that into Home Depot ALL the time, I just show them to one of the people that works there, and say, “Can I have one of these?” And they find it for me every time!
On the cakes…um did you forget some baking powder or soda by accident?? That would be my first guess. Wrong Pans no. 2. The tub: pure magic for your unlimited enjoyment. The lightbulb-mail order, Target is worthless and Home Depot moronic…
The prettiest cakes are never the tastiest – they usually taste like cardboard or styrofoam or something. Always judge a cake by its taste, I say…
Those things in the tub are kind of cool and like littel alien seeds or something.
I had a light like that in my kitchen one time. In fact I think everyone did back in 1945! Exactly how old is your bathroom?
If you get enough ice cream on the cake it doesn’t matter what it looks like.
I don’t know about the first two, but I’m going with wrong size cake pans or expired mix on the cake.
