To start your morning out startled is not a favorite of mine. I like to make sure my eyes are focused before my feet hit the floor running. I woke, not to the sound of an alarm or my husbands gentle nudge, it was "MOM, it's not Saturday, I have to go to school"!Oh my lordy geeze where am I? I couldn't open my eyes, my pajamas became one with the sheets and I had the dog wrapped around me like a fanny pack. I'm up, I'm up (well I was giving that my best effort). I had no idea what time it was or why I was still sound asleep (as though I were on vacation or something).
I made my way to the kitchen to find a coffee pot that had already ran its course and was now cooling. I put together a breakfast and a lunch. I have no idea which one actually made it in the lunch box because nature was calling my name and my back teeth were floating.
Has anyone ever brushed their teeth with sparkling High School Musical bubble gum flavored toothpaste? Try that with a side of coffee.
I hurried to get dressed (well if you consider a hoodie and jamma bottoms dressed) then your good to go. I threw on my husbands slippers and one of my sons baseball hats, slapped on a pair of sunglasses (on a cloudy day mind you) and out the door I went. My sons only response was "Are you going to the gym after you drop me off"? Are you kidding me?
My only mission was to get him to school on time and not be caught dead in this attire. All's well that ends well right, until you realize your sons backpack and lunch are still sitting in the backseat ~ NOOOOOOOO! I know your thinkin she didn't ~ Oh yes she did. I don't think a turtle could of hid his head any better as I shuffled into the office to ask if my sons belongings could be delivered to him by someone other than me.
And wouldn't you know it, of all people, the schools busy body and her BFF came skipping up the walkway with party supplies. She looked at me as if I had just crawled out from behind a bush and asks "Mrs. Kamanski, are you feeling ok"? No, I need a Rabies shot and was just on my way to the vets. Ta Ta.
Once I got back in my comfort zone my husband calls and asks "So, how'd you like sleeping in ~ Did you have a nice morning"? Gotta love him!
May your day be filled with the things that make you smile. Take care of you and yours always.

I love the Maxine cartoon. It says it all I think. My stuff often leaves without me for sure.
Tomorrow is FRIDAY. Hope it is a better day for you.
Hoodies, jammie bottoms or shorts are all I have been wearing for month! LOL
Enjoy your weekend.
Oh my goodness. That is so funny. I can imagine that will be my life someday as I am totally not a morning person. You definately have me crackin up though!
LoL I remember those days.. except my kids would have been are you serious you're not driving me to school like that? You know I did that for torture. What cracks me up is now that they are in college I'm the one saying you're not going somewhere with me looking like that ARE YOU?
Loved your story.
Take care, Chrissie
cracked me up!

Hugs
Thanks for sharing
LMBO....tears are rolling down my face...too funny..:)
Sounds like you were all set for some undercover work :)......
yep, i have done that! lol
It never fails when you look your worst the busy bodies are on hand to witness it. I used to work as the only printer in a print shop and ended up a few minutes late to pick up my daughter. I hadn't paused to even look in the mirror. Skye was waiting in front of the school motioned for me to bend down and tried to smudge away the ink on my face to no avail. She just shrugged and said my teacher wants to see you. I don't need to tell you Skye's efforts made the ink smear on my face worse. Let's just put it this way the lower half of my face was smeared black, like a 4 day man's shadow. Now just imagine the look I got from the teacher...I don't ever remember why she needed to see me, just the look on her face. (Hugs)Indigo
That is to funny Katie!!!!! That has not happened to me yet and think I am past that stage. I HOPE. This is one of your best. Lucy
Oh my goodness!! Well. I bet they were thinking, "That stinker! She just rolled out of bed and STILL looks fabulous!"
Lot of love to you!
Amanda
lol Oh my! I have done things like that when my youngest son was in school. Glad that you survived the day. Blessings, Janie
LOL, I laughed 7.5 times while reading your blog. You certainly have a way with words!!!
Luckily, my mornings have been gentle on me so far. It's the middle-of-the-night that I dread, my husband will elbow me awake and I'd practically fall on the floor, trying to find my way to Cody's room in the dark to comfort him. Imagine tripping over toys and bumping your face on the door, quite sad.
Thank you for sharing such a hilarious experience, your suffering is a treat for us all. LOL!!
Ohhh boy, I have had these days before when Shelby was in elementary school, going to public school before I started homeschooling her. Doncha just want to turn to women like that and say to them, Havent you EVER been caught off guard??? I know its somewhat funny now, but I know it wasnt when it was happening. I loved this entry though, it was very colorful and I loved it! Hope the following days go better. Hugs, Kelly
