6 Things You Didn’t {Want To} Know About Me
August’s birthday confessions were lots of fun, so it seems like a lovely idea to christen the new year with some more. Besides there are so many new faces around here I feel like I need to introduce myself. Thanks to all of you who shared yesterday’s post with your friends. That’s exactly what the tipping point is all about!
Shall we begin?
- I once (or twice) accidentally squirted my keyboard with breastmilk while trying to nurse and blog
- I type with dough on my hands. Often. Actually, the world under my laptop keys probably resembles a combo creamery/bakery. Maybe this post should be retitled 5 awful things I have done to my laptop.
- In order to properly compliment my husband I find it necessary to insult him in some small way first. It’s the only way he’ll take the compliment seriously. Otherwise he says I am too much sunshine and roses. Pft!
- I refused to wash Micah’s hair with anything other than water for weeks because I was afraid his baby smell would go away.
- Every night I go to bed holding a piece of cheese. Before that it was a hairdryer.
- Originally this was supposed to be ten things, but Micah appears to be teething so we were up at 12am, 2am, 4am, 4:20am, 5:20am and 6:30am. My brain is on auto-reboot and I can’t access anything at the moment.

Hahaha! Yes, like a mouse!

I suspect the underside of your keyboard is more like a combination biology lab / superfund site. I really hope you get that thing professionally cleaned every month or so. Eww.
So, what’s with the cheese thing?
Heather
My husbands says I need a Mac, but I think I need one of those construction-grade laptops that you can drop, spill stuff on and practically blowtorch. What can I say?? I have two little kiddos!
About the cheese: Thanks to tandem nursing I have a supersonic metabolism. I lose enough sleep waking up to nurse my baby, so extra trips to the fridge are out. Besides, it’s raw cheese, so I’m just letting it culture a little more!
Michelle McCoy
Ok I totally understand the cheese but what was up with the blowdryer? Lol
Whittney
No kidding! And eating TP? Ick!

Heather
What is TP?
Whittney
Toilet Paper! It is a new show about weird addictions. One woman eat TP and another sleeps with a blow dryer blowing on her hand all night!

I’m sorry, did you just write that someone eats TOILET PAPER? I thought that was what your abbreviation stood for but when I tried to make sense of it I convinced myself that I was wrong. (Plus I thought you were accusing ME of eating toilet paper!!!)
Heather
I used to be more cold-natured than Daddypotamus. We slept with the house cooler than I preferred so I used the hairdryer to heat up my sheets before crawling into bed!

This totally made me laugh out loud so hard that I had to read it again in order to get more laughter out of myself. I love Mommy survival stories!!

so do you actually hold it while you sleep or is it just by the bed

Des, I’m pretty sure she holds onto it. Every now and then i see her lying on her side, one arm stretched out with a piece of cheese comfortably nestled in her palm. It’s very heartwarming in a love-the-homeless-children kind of way.
Heather
WHAT!?!?! I totally put it by the bed . . . although sometimes I do fall asleep while snacking.
Elisabeth
Oh my gosh, I hear that about the teething. Similar things have been happening to us…
But, um. Number 5: explain?
Alexis
Haha too funny! You should get a Mac b/c my laptop (a Mac) has one of those keyboard covers so literally nothing can get into the cracks & when it gets too dirty I can take it off & clean it – easy peasy! You’d just have to worry about the monitor
By the way I think you should have a post where mom’s write one of their funniest new mom stories. Reading this post reminded me of a really funny time about a week after my daughter was born!
Heather
Oh man, you actually have me hoping that my sturdy little Dell will lay down and die. How have I never heard of a keyboard cover???
Oh, and that is a GREAT idea. I’m putting it on my upcoming post list RIGHT NOW!!!
