Good morning! I went back to work yesterday after a five-day weekend. As much as I love taking time off, coming back after said time off is really difficult to do. My whole world gets turned upside down and I spend most of the day trying to get my life back in order.
Yesterday was rough. I must have looked like a disaster because one of the students approached me toward the end of the day and said, “Somebody’s having a bad hair time.”
Yes, yes. That’s me. With the “bad hair time.” (I accidentally left my hair straightener at the house we stayed at in Richmond so these “bad hair times” may come around more often than not).
In any case, let’s hope for a better day today. I’m drinking two cups of coffee this morning – just to be sure. Now let’s get to this week’s round of confessions to start the day off with some consistency.
Confession:
After being away all weekend, I was looking forward to attending Brenda’s step class yesterday. But, when I got home from work, I got a little too comfortable in my bed and fell asleep for TWO HOURS. I woke up at 6:30 and, instead of finding an alternate way to workout, I ate dessert instead.
Chocolate Halo Top + PB2 + coconut chips
Confession:
While I was preparing for Sister’s birthday party, I pre-heated her oven so I could bake some appetizers. Silly me didn’t think to check what was in the oven before turning it on. Once the oven was ready to go, I opened it up to stick the mushrooms in. And OOPS.
I melted Sister’s cupcake pan. There was burned plastic all over her oven. I messed up. But, after doing a quick Google search to figure out what the heck to do, I realized there are LOTS of people out there like me. Plastic Melters Anonymous.
Confession:
Last week, while in DC, I got my nails done at a salon near Sister’s apartment. They have these cute little bowls on each table filled with what I thought were candies or mints. The lady doing my nails took out a spoon and asked which one I’d like as she rattled off some flavors. I said “lavender” because it was the only option I heard of the three. I put my hand out, ready to try my mint.
Turns out they were little pellets to put in the water. Not mints.
Embarrassing.
Questions of the Day:
- How long did it take you to do your hair today?
- What did you eat for dessert last night?
- Have you ever melted plastic in the oven?
- ‘FESS UP! Tell me a secret.
How long did it take you to do your hair today? Less than 1 minute. I have a bun today. Feeling lazy!
What did you eat for dessert last night? Nothing! Thats sad.
Have you ever melted plastic in the oven? Yes! Everyone has haha
‘FESS UP! Tell me a secret. Secret, I am feeling rather down today. It will pass once I have my morning coffee!

Hope the coffee helped! 🙂 We all have down days. (I had one yesterday and came home and napped for 2 hours because I was feeling upset!)
This is really funny and I could imagine all the things that happened to you. Felt like when a friend calls you to let them know what they have been doing. I cannot say I have ever melted plastic in an oven! I can only imagine the stench!
I’ve never melted plastic in the oven but I did accidentally put a plastic cutting board down on a burner that was still hot and melted it that way! I think things like that happen to all of us at one point or another

Hi! Your confessions are quite funny 😀 I cant remember the day I have a bad hair day, maybe because I don’t care much of my hair… I mean I’m not into hair styling, as long as my hair is not wet then I’m good to go.

Sometimes when I need to get out of the house and my hair is still wet, I’ll just roll down the windows and hope that the wind acts like a hair dryer!
I haven’t even done my hair today, I had Ben and Jerrys last night 🙈 And I have melted plastic in the oven – whoops!
I can totally see myself doing some of these things!! I hope your day goes smoother today.

Oh goodness, I feel like I’m always having a bad hair day lately! I hope you told your student that you’re fabulous, mine would have loved that! I’ve also been sleeping after work lately. I know that the changing seasons and fact that we are losing sunlight is making me extra tired but I need to workout instead of nap!

My hair today hmmm girl I look 👀 like a hot mess haha. I’m having a messy bun day only it’s not one of those cute messy buns it’s more like a chewy Chewbacca messy bun 😂.
As for dessert well last night we ordered Pizza Hut so I had to order a side of their amazing cinnamon sticks that comes with the glazed dipping sauce. I absolutely love those things from Pizza Hut I swear they are completely amaze balls if you haven’t tried them yet then you must 👅💦
Sorry but not sorry I have yet to melt anything in the oven but hey who know accidents happen and maybe one day I’ll become part of the plastic melters anonymous club haha
A little secret well umm I’m turning 29 yrs old in a few weeks and man oh man my emotions have been a complete roller coaster. I really don’t know why it gots me like this but man it gots me in some kind of funk. Hopefully when my bday comes around I’ll feel a lot better and go back to just enjoying this ride we call life.
29 is young! And you’ve done a lot for being only 29! (For example, you’re the mama of the cutest 6th grader in town).
It takes me about 15 minutes to do my hair between blow drying and straightening. If I don’t straighten it, it’s in a ponytail. I can’t be having that mess down! No dessert for me last night – that’s a good thing! And I don’t remember ever melting anything in the oven, but I have on the stovetop.
A confession . . . One morning at work, I went to the bathroom, then walked down the halls back to my classroom. When I got there, my assistant, who was trying not to laugh, informed me that my skirt was tucked into my underwear. I still have no idea who saw. Oops!
100% shouldn’t be reading this in class because I laughed out loud about the pellet/candy incident. That is absolutely hilarious and I love the fact that you told us about it. I love when bloggers are “real” and don’t only showcase their perfect side of their life!
Plastic Melters Anonymous! That is so funny! :joy: You put a laugh on my face today! My kid is here asking me what’s so funny…lol… Thanks for sharing!
I love having dessert in the morning. It’s the best.

Haha! I love that you wrote this! I’m a teacher, too, and it’s amazing how honest kids are, isn’t it?
I”m cracking up about the mints. I would have thought that’s what they were too. I wonder how many people ate them. lol
Lolzz.. I am still laughing 😀
I love confessions posts. You are so funny!
Not in the oven, but…I once melted a plastic plate on the stovetop. I’d set it there earlier and my friend didn’t realize she’d turned on the wrong burner, so…there went our pancakes. :'(
I don’t have a lot of storage space in my kitchen so sometimes I store pans and trays in there. Once I preheated my oven without thinking to empty it so I can relate.

Ha ha! I can so relate! I would definitely have thought those were mints, too!

Oh my goodness the even situation has happened to me too. I guess we need to check it first before we turn it on. And girl sometimes we need to indulge that ice cream looks good =)
I remember going to bed and completely forgetting the bread I was baking in my mom’s oven. She woke me up at 7:00 am spitting fire over the waste I’ve caused. I must have been 15 then, so you can use your imagination on how I paid for this mishap. Last week I locked my car keys in the car, mixed up the dates for the local homeschool expo, left the bath tap running and forgot about it (my son found it just when the water was starting to spill)
I keep my towels in the oven as my kitchen drawers get filled up with aprons and mittens.
Last weekend I wanted to bake a cake so I turned on my oven to preheat.
Within 1-2 minutes I could smell something burning. Thank God I was right there in the kitchen. I turned off the oven and immediately pulled out the Hottttt Towels. A few more minutes and it could have been disaster.
Lets all be more careful…..

PS this is not Divya
At least now I know I am not the only one who makes big mistakes all the time–although I have never melted plastic in an oven–on top of the stove is another matter entirely!

I think we have all at some point skipped a workout and eaten dessert instead 😉 Halo top is amazing!

hhhhaaaaa! If it makes you feel any better I’ve never seen little pellets to put in the water either. You reminded me I need a pedicure!
You could so be my soul sister. I would much rather eat ice cream than work-out.
Dessert in the morning is totally a perfect thing! Even Kate Spade has nightwear saying Eat Cake for breakfast! I have had days like this and I can truly relate.
We all mess up and have our bad hair days so I can relate. Wednesday was a tough day for me and I’m happy for the weekend to arrive.
This is quite funny! I haven’t done much with my hair today, just scraped back in a clip. Joys of working from home.
