I Can't Believe…
Oh my goodness, I did such a foolish and embarrassing thing today. I had no intention of exposing my stupidity for the world to see, but my daughter talked me into it. When I told her what I had done, it took her five whole minutes to stop laughing (much to my chagrin).
Alright, I’m going to tell you, but NO LAUGHING!
It all started last night. I had my two grandsons aged 4 and 18 months overnight. It was a fun time sleep-over that the boys enjoy so much. The older of the boys is really into Star Wars, so we got our pajamas on early, made popcorn and settled down to watch one of the movies. All went well, the little one fell asleep about 8:30 and his older brother finally conked out about 9:30.
The 4 year old and I were up by 7:30. He got ready for pre-school (3 times a week for 2 hours) while I made him a breakfast of eggs, sausage and toast. My hubby (Papaw) got up and got ready for work. At 8:45 Papaw loaded Cee into the car to drop him off at pre-school on his way to work. I made the beds, did a load of laundry and tidied up the kitchen and family room. At about 10:00, baby Dee got up and I fixed him his favorite breakfast of scrambled egg and 1/2 English muffin with peanut butter. When he finished, he had more peanut butter ON him than IN him! I decided it would be quicker to stick him in the bathtub than to try to wipe him off; he even had peanut butter in his hair! While he was bathing, I stepped into the dressing room and proceeded to get dressed. I was only half dressed when Dee was ready to get out of the tub so I dried him off and dressed him for the day. The phone rang and it was my “chatty” neighbor; we talked for a few and I told her I had to get ready to pick up Cee at school by 11:30 so we ended the call. It was now 11:00 so I rushed to get my makeup on and hair combed. By this time I was a bit frazzled but I grabbed Dee’s jacket, my purse and car keys and off we went. Got Dee buckled into his car seat and proceeded to drive to school.
We have to park the car and go into the church school to pick up the children. They do not allow them to leave the room unless there is an authorized person waiting to pick them up. I got Dee out of his seat and we walked up the stairs to the classroom. I stood outside the classroom door and waited for Cee to get his coat and book bag and come out to where I was waiting. Then that’s when it all happened!
Cee is a VERY exuberant boy with lots of energy and, unfortunately for me, a loud voice. He greeted me by saying, “GRAMMA! WHY DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR PAJAMAS ON?” I said, “Huh?” You can guess by my response that I was dumbfounded. I said, “I don’t have my pj’s on!” I glanced down and saw my mint green “Sherpa” sweatshirt and KNEW I had taken the time to get dressed. OH MY GOSH…I glanced further down and, sure enough, I still had my pajama bottoms on! How in the world did I manage to get 1/2 dressed (see above) and NOT remember to finish? How did I manage to get Dee dressed and not realize that I had NOT finished? How did I slip my shoes on and NOT see the ridiculous pajama bottoms I was wearing? Cee’s teachers were snickering, actually, as I was leaving, I’m sure one of them was laughing so hard it elicited hysterical laughter from the rest of the staff. Even the little 3, 4 and 5 year olds were laughing. One little boy was doubled over, stumbling and nearly ready to roll on the floor, he was laughing so hard. I’m SURE that must be the “bad” boy Cee had told me about. The little “trouble maker”.
Oh, the horror of it all! I will never be able to show my face at that school again. I told Hubby that, from now on, HE had to pick up Cee. He has adamantly refused because he just KNOWS there will be some sort of interrogation by the teachers as to my sanity! Or, egad, even he might be ridiculed because of my shortcomings!
Just so you get an idea of how I must have looked, I am including a picture of the infamous pajama bottoms…and, I remind you, NO LAUGHING! And if any of you have an embarrassing story you’d like to share, please, PLEASE do so I don’t feel quite so foolish!!!
What a fashionista!
Until next time…if I EVER live this down!

Hi Judy,
I have a 2003 Honda CRV (silver). About 6 months ago, while at the Post Office. I was parked next to one just like it. I went in and grabbed my mail. Well, they did’nt lock theirs with their automatic lock. So, ya you guessed it. I got in, put my bundle of mail in the passenger seat..stuck my key in the ignition, and No go! I started looking around, and thought something isn’t right. I did’nt have a fold-up umbrella and tissue box in my car.
Then I looked and saw my car sitting right next to me. I couldn’t get out of one and into mine quick enough. My heart was pounding. I don’t know what I’d have done if
anybody noticed. I got out of that place in a flash!

Thanks for sharing with us! You are not alone…I somehow manage to do stupid and embarrassing things almost daily! Love it!

Suzannes last blog post..Art Show
Omigosh…I am SO glad you shared that. My son was taking me out to dinner. I got all ready except for my shoes, kept a terribly ugly, old pair of slippers on and didn’t notice until I went to get out of the car at the restaurant. I wasn’t going to go in, but son said my feet would be under the table and no one would notice; then, he proceeded to tell our waitress (who was a friend of his) that I came dressed comfortable and lifted the tablecloth to show her my slippers. LOLOL

Kids!!! Tell me about it! I have two oof my own who throughly enjoy to embarrass ME! lol
Suzannes last blog post..Express yourself!
After a morning like that, I’m surprised you managed to get your top half dressed!
And don’t be embarrassed. The teachers have seen worse. Heck, mine would see me every morning on my way to the gym.
Susan Helene Gottfrieds last blog post..BTT: Coupling
Thanks for your comments Suzanne and Susan Helene. I can laugh at myself now (sort of), but it was absolutely horrendous at the time. LOL Hope to see you back soon!

Heehee this reminds me of how my mom finally got my brother to stop making us wait on the curb when we would pick him up from high school, she told him that if he did it again, she was going to wear her pajamas and wander the campus yelling “HAS ANYONE SEEN MY SON?!” until he got in the car.
Guess you have something to blackmail your grandkids with when they’re older.
“Dont MAKE me come to your school in my PJs again?”
My embarrassing story about clothes is about a time when I was 8 months pregnant with my son, and still working in the mall. My husband worked in the mall, too. He came in in the morning as I had just opened the store to bring me breakfast. But he is laughing so hard he can’t talk….. He says “Eryn, you have your polo on backwards…..AND INSIDE OUT!”
It was embarrassing, but I was SO glad he came in, what if it had been a customer to point it out?!!?

LOL…thanks for sharing Eryn! Makes me feel better that I’m not the only “forgetful” person. I will have to remember the “blackmail” plot too! Thanks for dropping by and I hope to see you here again!

Hey, don’t be so hard on yourself. Teenagers go out in public in their PJs all the time. I believe it’s considered cool.
feefifotos last blog post..If I Could Own A Robot, It Certainly Wouldn’t Be Making Phone Calls For Me
I can’t say that I’ve done anything like that (that I can remember), but you shouldn’t feel too bad. There really are people out there who dress like that to go out, pajama pants and all!
Lynnes last blog post..Wordless Wednesday – Breast Cancer Awareness
Thanks so much for your comments Lynne and feefifoto. I agree that some of the “get-ups” the young people wear are either too revealing or too ridiculous. We went to a party on the 4th of July and I swear one of the younger women was wearing her slip (with no “support system”) LOL…The men at the party seemed to notice more than the women…or, at least, they seemed happier looking…LOL
OMG, your post has me smiling. Thanks for sharing. The only goofy thing I can think of is that I wore two different colored shoes to work one time. eeek!
Thanks for commenting, Karen and I’m glad I could bring a smile to your face. I can smile about it now and daughter keeps ribbing me about it. If I tell her I’m going some place, she starts through her litany of do you have dress slacks on? shirt? shoes? Oh dear, what did I start??? LOL…hope to see you back soon!

teehee! That’s so cute! I’ve done worse, so don’t feel bad!! =D
rotten kids! lol
One of many of mine – At a school concert; as part of my ‘work’ I do a LOT of sanding wood, so more times than not I’m at the compressor, blowing myself off. One day I thought I’d get some last minute sanding in before going to the boys’ Spring Concert. I did the usual and blew the sawdust off of me and then went and changed my clothes. I didn’t even look in the mirror, just ran a brush through my hair.
I socialized with everyone after the concert, but no one told me about the bright orange nose and forehead I wore to the event!! lol (paduak wood emits a very bright orange sawdust!) I DID get a lot of stares and looks, but thought it was because I looked pretty good that night!?! My goofy sons didn’t even tell me, but they sure did tear up laughing with their buddies
Love them jammies btw! =D
Freida
Freidas last blog post..Tammy was interviewed on Soap Deli News!
Sorry, cracked me up but in a good way! You just tell them it’s the newest fashion, and very comfy! Heck, working at home there are days I never bother to get out of the pjs LOL! Don’t know how many times I’ve dodged answering the front door because of it! I think up all sorts of things if I have to answer, like I work the night shift LOLOLOL!
Diane Scotts last blog post..When Did Spread The Wealth Become A Four Letter Word?

I have done just that, Linda…many times since the “incident”. Now, when I go to pick up grandson at school, the first place he looks is at my slacks and I just KNOW what he’s thinking. Even the teachers and I can laugh about it. I told them that, from now on, I don’t wear pj bottoms, I wear slacks to bed! LOL Thanks for commenting, Linda….”see” you soon!
