I want to start off by clarifying that Friday Fails is just about keeping it real. It’s for laughs and encouragement, not because we are depressed about our failures.   I write Friday Fails with my tongue firmly placed in my cheek and I’m sure that Friday Fails participants do as well.

Recently we had an Open House for our home that is on the market. I spent days getting the house clean and everything looking “just so.” When we arrived home after the Open House we found a note from the realtor that said there’s a HUGE hornet’s nest on the back porch. {major blush}

Ernie was out on the back porch the night before and didn’t even see it. Men, I tell ya, they are blind as bats sometimes. {chuckle} I’m SO glad no one got stung.

Of course, it’s still there because that’s just how we roll around here — “Out of sight, out of mind.” #fail

On Tuesday night as I heard my husband banging around in the bathroom cabinet, I thought to myself, “I bet he’s looking for toilet paper.”   Sure enough, he came walking into the bedroom and asked, “Do we have any more toilet paper?” {snort}

I thought for sure that there was more TP in the bathroom closet, but after scrounging around, we found none.  Nada. Zero. Zip. #fail

All that we had was a tiny roll to last until the next day. Then Ernie remembered that he had a roll in his car from when we ran out a few months ago and borrowed a roll from church. Please don’t judge.  Ahem.

(After publically embarrassing myself, I’ll be sure to take roll of TP to church on Sunday. Then I’ll be even more embarrassed. Ha!)

To make it even better, Ernie left for work the next morning without bringing the TP inside.  Brilliant!  When I got up, I had neither a stitch of toilet paper nor a kleenex in the house.

I made a plea for help on Twitter.  Leaves, napkins and other lovely alternatives were suggested. Ha! I quickly made it to the store and our toilet paper crisis was abated. Whew!

Please tell me that I’m not the only housewife that forgets to pick up toilet paper!
