This blog chronicles the lives of the Caffee Clan: Brian, Kelly, Josh, Jason, Lauren and Katelyn as we navigate life as a large, loud, military family that lives on the verge of complete chaos! I'm Kelly, AKA "Mom", "Mama", "Babe" or the "1SG's wife", I am 37, a stay-at-home-mom that dreams of someday working in the marketing field. I love photography, scrap booking, healthy eating and cooking, my family, music and dancing!! I have a fetish for gross medical stuff, like unusual diseases or strange growths, and sometimes I wish I was a midwife. As you read, you might notice that I have an slight obsession with cleaning and germ-avoidance, but do not fret, I am aware and I am working on it. And I love making lists! I have lots of opinions about lots of things and this is what is represented here! I'm not always right (wait, I'm NOT??) but I always have something to say!!!

Top Ten Excuses for Missing Work

Hi guys!!
I know you are patiently waiting for my big give-away - I can tell by how quietly you are sitting - I'm just ironing out the last few details, so  continue to  just be quiet  wait nicely. It's on the way!!
Promise!!

In the mean time, my co-workers and I have been really focused on producing this great list for you. It took us 10 whole minutes of brain storming and at least 30 more minutes of laughing to complete it.

Enjoy!

I, S & K's Top Ten Excuses for Missing Work
These are real reasons that have been used - we didn't make them up OR use them ourselves!

10. "I had to take my girlfriends' cousins' brother to court."
Yeah, I can see why you needed to be involved - such a close relationship and all.

9. "I'm taking the day off because my husbands' appointment went well."
And what? Now you need to celebrate????

8. "The bank doesn't open until 9...."
This is a totally legit reason not to come to work AT ALL!

7. "I have had an unfortunate family emergency."
It wasn't enough to just be an emergency. Nope, it had to be unfortunate as well.

6. "I'm just generally still gross."
Perfectly understandable. Hope you feel not gross soon.

5. "I got caught in the rain over the weekend."
Ok.

4. "I have horrible constipation." Followed by, "Now I have extreme un-constipation." 
WAY too much information. Please just say your sick next time.

3. "I can't come in. I'm having extreme bathroom issues."
Yes, I understand. Oh and just FYI, tomorrow I will be having extreme "bedroom issues".

2. "I won't be in today - we've had an unexpected funeral."
Unexpected death, I get....unexpected funeral? How does that happen?

AND # 1:

"MY DOG HAS A FAT FACE."
That's gooood! Leaves your co-workers guessing!!

Tell me the best excuses that you've heard!! We love the new ideas funny stories!!! :)

  1. The best two I ever heard were, " there's a duck stuck in my fireplace chimney" and "My ride can't find my house".
