Welcome back! Have you Joined The Club?
Today’s post is basically just a rant. Sorry, but sometimes things just need to be ranted about to get them off your chest. It’s amazing how that can work like therapy!
Well, here it goes. It’s peanut butter spoons! Thankfully for Bitchy Betty I was able to really RANT!
Some of you may have no idea what I’m talking about. The rest of you, unfortunately, know exactly what my rant is about!
Does anyone in your family like peanut butter? Everyone in our family does including my husband. They like peanut butter so much that they will each it by the spoonful!
Ok. Peanut butter is healthy. It makes a great snack. What could my issue possible be?
It’s the spoons. They’ll take a huge spoonful of peanut butter then lick it of the spoon. The problem is that for some bizarre reason, they don’t lick the spoon clean. I find peanut butter spoons in the sink all the time.
No big deal, you say! Ha! Try to wash a peanut butter spoon. Try rinsing it clean with just water. Ain’t happening!
Now you have to get your sponge all gooey with peanut butter. I hate that! I always feel like the peanut butter never fully rinses off the sponge so I have to go get another sponge to finish the dishes.
Yes, we have a dishwasher. The dishwasher can actually be worse. A peanut butter spoon that goes through the dishwasher upside down never gets clean!
So now I’m mad. I had a peanut butter spoon sitting at the bottom of the sink and now peanut butter is all over the dishes that got put on top of it. I could just punish the person who didn’t lick the spoon clean, right? Wrong.
Nobody did it. No one had any peanut butter. Without sniffing every one’s breath it’s hard for me to figure out who the culprit is. (I think it might even be my husband this time!)
That Mr. Nobody is in BIG TROUBLE when I catch him! Does he visit your house, too?
So what’s the answer? Well I found a site that at least made me feel a bit better as I got my peanut butter spoon issues off my chest. Check out BitchyBetty. I realize there’s a naughty word there but this is an moms over 40 site. LOL
Here is the Tagline-
Bitchy Betty – we’re bitching for change!
Bitchy Betty is the platform for defining problems, sharing solutions and supporting one another.
I think that pretty much says it all. I thought the site was fun and the people who responded gave me some great ideas on how to solve my peanut butter spoon problem. Take a peek.
The best idea was plastic spoons! Why didn’t I think of that? The dog does tend to get some leftovers too. My thought are to only let them eat jelly since I can’t get Mr. Nobody to lick the spoons clean.
When it comes right down to it, I can’t wait until my girls have houses of their own so I can invite Mr. Nobody to leave peanut butter spoons for them!
(Phew, I feel better already)
