I got dressed in the semi-darkness this morning. I reached for what I thought was my tan button down shirt and proceeded to get dressed. I went along my merry way, coming down stairs and getting children dressed. At some point, I glanced at the cuff of my shirt and noticed a grease stain. “That’s weird,” I said to myself. “My lavender shirt has the same stain. I didn’t know this one did too.” But I went on with getting breakfast finished and the thought went out of my head.
It was while I was sitting down at breakfast, a good..I don’t know… hour after getting dressed, that I noticed something. I was talking to Malachi, who sits right next to me at the table, when my brain finally registered what I was seeing. I was wearing my lavender shirt. The one with the grease stain on the cuff. Yeah, that one. It completely didn’t go with my jumper. Not even close. It fact, it looked really, really bad.
I’m wondering how I could have gone for at least an hour in a good amount of light and not noticed what I was wearing. I could defiantly see my arms, but some how it still alluded my brain. So after breakfast, I went back upstairs and changed my shirt. I looks much better now.
So why did I post such a silly thing for all to read who want to? Well, I suppose it’s because I want people to see and know that I’m real. I do stupid things (and trust me, I have a lot more that were far stupider than this!). I do silly things. I have moments where all you can do is roll your eyes and shake your head from side to side ( like the other day, when I know what that gluten poison stuff is going to do to me, but I give in anyway and eat the Oreo, the yogurt covered pretzel and the chocolate coated graham cracker. All I had was 1 each, yet I had a horrible head ache the next day, was very lethargic and quite tired. Yeah, I know. Dumb.).
*sigh* Yep, I real folks. Horribly, sinfully real. Oreos’ and all.
