Today the puppy was antsy, or I dont know, maybe I was antsy, so we skipped pack up time, and headed out on our walk a little prior to schedule. Then when I got home, I had to run around like a crazy girl trying to get myself out the door by my usual time. About half way through my 20-25 minute trek to work I was chatting on the phone, and I looked down to my feet. And this is what I saw. . .
Totally forgot to change my shoes!! Agh!! Can I BE wearing a more unprofessional pair of shoes??
Risk it and head to walmart hoping to find a decent pair of black shoes that I could pass off for the day? Or just head home now and be a few minutes tardy to work?
I decided to head home. . . what if Walmart didn't have ANYTHING? Then I would have wasted valuable time and still had to have gone home!
Luckily, I usually try to do more of my planning stuff before school rather than after, so I am typically an early arriver. That meant that with today's little catastrophe, I was only a couple of minutes late. PHEW! Better that then be walking around in complete humiliation with pink fuzzy crocs on my feet all day long!
Can't WAIT til I am living closer to work!

I did something similar a while back. I was running late to work, it was dark and I thought I could save a minute and put my shoes and socks on in the car on the way to work. I remembered I had left my shoes outside the bathroom, so I grabbed them and ran out the door. I was halfway to work when I realized I had grabbed the wrong pair. Instead of my regular shoes I had a regular shoe and one if my bostonians. Not only that, but they were both left shoes. I walked into wal-mart clomp-click back to the shoe department. It was kind of embarrassing standing in line with miss-matched shoes, buying shoes at 5AM.
hillarious!! Remember when I wore 2 different when I student taught?? Luckily, one of my amazing sisters (cant remember which one - but both equally amazing) habd delivered me 2 matching shoes :)
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha ha! I love it. I take my doggies on their walk in crocs as well. I have never had to be somewhere in more fashionable shoe attire right after so I am sure I have lucked out on this hilarious predicament! Love you Shawna and I am glad you had a wonderful birthday week. I am almost 31! Yikes. Love Debi
Sometimes you need to finish a mistake... I mean even Rachel Ray sometimes burns the toast on her show. It teaches the kids that even teachers make mistakes but can still get the job done... I usually forget to put on a bra because for so many years I didn't wear one. But now that I do most days, if I go somewhere without a bra on, like say, church, I feel naked even though no one knows. I am so glad that we don't have signs that are triggered to announce our errors when we discover them. I think your slippers were darling, oh wait, Debi said that they were your crocs. Lots of people wear crocs anywhere here. Well, you know us Idahoan hicks....Love, Aunt Gail
