As I have always’ hated the term “Hump” day, it seemed to fit for this Wednesday in particular. As many of you may or may not know, I have a toddler, a almost 10 year old, and an 11.5 year old. My mornings are very scheduled as morning time is my turn of the day to handle getting the kids to where they need to go.
Wednesday seemed to be going fine, I got up about 5:30 a.m. got ready, fixed breakfast for all, got the 11.5 year old to bus stop by 7:05, and off to school. Went home, watered my flowers, finished getting ready, and getting the toddler ready. Made my breakfast, made my lunch, got on the computer to do a few things for the office and before I knew it we had to get out of the house to get my almost 10 year old to the bus stop. So I grab all my bags, the toddler, all liquids (cause I have my coffee, water, and smoothie still), dogs are in their kennels, doors locked, and we are off! Drop the kid off at the bus stop, and start to drive to my Sister-in-Law’s day care in B.A.
Today I was very responsible to listen to the traffic report on the radio and there was wreck at Riverside, so I decided to go the way of the Creek Turnpike today. So I am driving, I’m driving, I’m feeling good about the morning, Zoe has fallen asleep again, but something is missing….. Something is wrong…… Then it hits me!
I look down, and I still have my (RED) gardening flip flops on, and no back up shoes in the car!!!!! So I do what any woman would do, I scream S%&#!!
I am now in the position of making a decision of turning around and going all the way back to my house, or making a quick shoe purchase before work. (I picked the latter)
I asked my sister-in-law what size shoe she wore when I dropped Zoe off for daycare, but there was no luck to be had in that area, so……
off I went to Target to get a $15 pair of shoes. I literally ran into that store, but then when I go to check out I have a checkout woman that reminds of that SNL skit of Target! She asks me where I got the shoes?! HELLO!!! We are in Target! And then if I had a “Red Card” which I do, and I was already sliding through to pay. Once I paid with my “Red Card” she was so delighted to tell me that I saved “2.00” on my shoes!
Give me the receipt lady and let me get out of here! Needless to say I was late, but I got a great revelation for the day as a working mommy….
