how embarrassing...!

After a hard day at work, an exciting afternoon with Beyoncé and a long discussion with my daughter regarding her grades, I was exhausted!

There was a pile of dishes to be washed and laundry to do. So I changed into my pajamas to get ready to work some more. As I was washing the dishes, I remembered that there was a deadline to enroll my daughter in her confirmation process. I went to check on the papers that I had (I was sure the deadline was tomorrow). Wrong! The deadline was today by 9:00 p.m. I hadn’t even filled the registration form or the confirmation letters yet. One letter had to be filled and signed by my daughter and the other by us. It was getting late so I asked my husband to fill out the form while I rushed to go and get dressed again.

We went to drop off the forms at the Rectory and, before driving back home, we decided to stop at Walgreens to pick up something sweet to eat (not that we don’t have enough Halloween candy already!) My husband had a taste for ice cream. While at the store, I figure I might as well get shampoo and conditioner for me. As we were standing looking for my hair products, my husband runs into someone who used to work for him. He introduces me and we chatted for a little bit. We finally went to the checkout line and my husband says, “Oh my God!” “Have you seen the way you’re dressed?” The lady at the cash register looks at me and says, what’s wrong with that? “I’ve gone out with my pajamas.” I know I was not wearing my pajamas… then I realized what I was wearing… I couldn’t believe I had actually come out looking like that! It never fails… why is it that you always run into people you know when you least want to be seen?

This was my wardrobe…I was wearing my black work shoes, my husband’s red sweat pants, which fit me loose, my son’s black/grey sweater, and get this… my light green blouse, which was showing, under my sweater! “I can’t believe you let me walk out of the house looking like this!” I yelled at my husband. He just laughed and walked away acting like he didn’t know me and was embarrassed to walk with me! What a jerk! Then I noticed something too, I looked down at his feet and what do I see? He was wearing his dirty old, ragged sneakers with his little toes sticking out of them! Ha! Who’s embarrassing now?!
