Too purty to live in town.....

9/9/07

I have now officially reached full doofus status. I woke up this am with a start. I had forgotten to set my alarm!
"6:45!!!! Oh dear, I'm gonna have to hustle!" was my first thought.

The thoughts that followed were:
"Oh great, my first day back at work after 2 weeks, and I'm gonna be late!"
"I need to get Joe up"
"Oh, Lord, don't let him be difficult"
"I need coffee"
"I need to get a shower"
"I've got lots to catch up on at work"

I roll out of bed, and begin turning lights on. As I'm making my coffee and listening to CNN, I begin to speak to Joe to wake him up. Much to my dismay, he responds with lots of crank and irritation. "He didn't get enough sleep," I thought to myself. "hmmm, what time did he go to bed? Oh dear! I let him stay up until 11 last night!!"

Wait a minute, wait just one cotton pickin minute......
It's not Monday, it's SUNDAY!!!!

Me: "Oh Son! I'm so sorry! I feel like such a doofus!"

Joe: "That's because you ARE a doofus, mom!"

Me: "Thanks, son."

There's nothing like making a complete and utter fool out of yourself in front of your child.

Ya'll just KNOW he's never gonna let me forget this....At least it didn't take me until dropping him off at a vacant school to figure it out. <sigh>

My bruised ego needs more coffee. Good morning, everyone!
