Do you ever feel like you are in a movie? Let me explain... Okay your watching a scene where they are in a huge hurry driving to get somewhere and there it is....an 18 wheeler pulling out right in front of them driving slower than a turtle..slowing them down .You know, those high stress intense moments. Or those romantic comedies where the girl is in a hurry and falls down, in front of the gorgeous guy she is in love with...
Yeah well, my mishaps aren't romantic or in filmed scenes...they are real and I'm super sure I don't look charming when I fall down!
My day yesterday...
I texted a friend to see if she felt like talking at about 7:50 am before I went to work at 8am. I never use my phone when at work unless I'm expecting an important call or something. But this day I kept checking my phone to see if she had texted me back. All day nothing. I was feeling sad and hoped she was doing okay... Then at about 6pm I got a text that said what do you mean do I feel like talking? Oh, crud! I had texted the wrong friend with the same name who lives in California... No wonder I never heard back...So I just called the one I wanted to talk to.. she is doing good!
Okay anyways... I am at work running around like a chicken w/my head cut off (I've seen this...sooo creepy!) I 'm not remembering people's drinks,I slipped and did the splits just seconds after they warn everyone loud and clear to be careful the floor is slippery, I gave decaf coffee instead of bold (HUGE difference!)
I spilled steaming pitchers of eggnog and milk while extremely hot all over me and the freshly cleaned area.(cause or district manager is coming) I'm thinking wow, I should probably go home and take a nap!
I poured out coffee into what I thought was the sink only it was where the trash can was suppose to be, but wasn't...so it splatters on me and everywhere! I was told several times that I was very nice entertainment by fellow partners and customers. :) or :( not sure which one I should be doing...)
A Dr. came in to meet me in person after my name was given several times for filling an assistant job at his practice. I looked so horrific! I'm sure I looked like I had run a marathon, my hair looked disheveld and I had milk,eggnog, and coffee stains all over me. He said I wanted to come in and meet you since I've heard so much about you. Richelle(Who I recomended) had went in earlier to inquire about the position and she told him I would be there til 1pm and described me as the crazy one. I know because he told me. Well... not sure about that one either.
Well, He is just chit chatting away about his hours the practice,etc..right there in front of one of my bosses. Sooo awkward! I won't be taking the job..it is full time. Something I do not desire. He is a nice doctor though.
Okay so then I finally get off work. whew! I get Emily and then we go shopping for a few items.It was my night to take dinner to the Woods, and needed just a few more things plus some things for our own family. Anyways I got a little nervous because I'm not sure if I am going to have enough money.
I left my debit card here on my desk, and the check book in the car Joel has. I only have 42.00. I called Joel and asked if he could bring me some money or go get my card... He said well, I have to go to the bank anyways so I'll be right there. I finish getting all my items plus chocolate chips (for cookies!) (definitely an extra)
I head to the check out thinking it will be the same time he comes in. I call him and he says I am at Chase bank, I'll be right there. ( which is in Walmart parking lot)So Emily starts the self check out...which I was sort of leary of, and told the little helper lady my delema of not knowing if I had enough money, but that my husband is on his way. No problem she says.My total was 47.1 remember I only have 42.00 I'm not worried though cause my sweet prince is on the way to save me!
I call him again to tell him we are right in front of the nail salon, thinking he is roaming aimlessly in Walmart looking for us. He says Oh.......well, I am almost to Tom Thumb...and almost out of gas... I thought you were at Tom Thumb....Oh, man.!!...he was just right here by me!!! Well, I feel very stressed that it is going to be even longer when he gets here. He was going to get gas, then come back over this way... so I say, I will just put something back.
After a few minutes of him trying to persuade me to wait I decide not to cause I see several people heading towards the check outs. Thank God I picked the check out right by the self check out helper lady. So I go tell her I need to put something back. She was sooo sweet. I chose the chocolate chips which was 5.38. bringing my total to 41.79 WOW! I had 21 cents change!
Okay then I begin meal preperations. I had decided to make stuffed pasta shells(YUMMY) They hadn't had Italian food yet so I was excited! I had the shells, most of the cheese and the sauce already. Well....so I thought! NO sauce! MAN! So I call Prince Charming yet again... Yes, he will stop and pick some up. Plus then couldn't find the cucumbers for their salad..pretty sure we left them there!
Okay, So I make everything for the Woods and our family. Now I get in the car and Joel had given me 20 bucks for gas. Yeah well...I thought I could make it to the Woods ....then on the way home stop and get gas. Joel calls to see how I am doing and I tell him I am on my way. Did you get gas he asks....No do I need it before I go there? Oh, my gosh Kim I left you money..why didn't you get gas...I say...I just want to get their food to them...can't I make it????
He is so stressed I can tell. I love him to death! We truly have reversed our roles. Once upon a time I would have been freaked out not wanting to run out of gas or break down... now I just say, oh well, If I do run out I'll just wait for you to come get me.(He's in Ft Worth) (Thank you Lord for delivering me from those worries...most of the time)
I had left the house @ like 5:50pm making my way down 377 through Keller to NRH. Yeah well, listen Keller has the most horrible traffic and not a lot of streets for the traffic to get through! It's awful! If I were you guys who live in Keller I would petition for them to add or widen the streets!
I get to Tarrant/377 and look at the gas milage thingy and I just hear the stress in my husbands voice ringing in my ears...so I crossed over double yellow lines ( I know totally illegal!) and pulled into a gas station. It is now like 6:30. Craziness! I spill it on me of course, (it goes well with coffee, eggnog, and milk) I'm in Joel's car, so I don't have wet wipes...cause they are in MY car for this very reason!
I get gas and call poor Felicia and tell her I am so sorry that it is taking me forever to get there. No problem she says. She says after you cross Rufe Snow a couple of streets down you'll turn left on Starnes. Yeah well, I never saw Rufe Snow. I did find Starnes and she had told me that I would drive down it for a bit. So imagine my surprise when out of the blue while I am on Strarnes I cross over Rufe Snow... I was suppose to cross it before I turned on Starnes!
Joel calls me and asks are you okay? Uh...yes I say. Are you out of gas he asks? no I actually stopped and got some I say. He asks.. are you lost? Well, now that I'm not real sure about...I say. I can so hear the perplexity in his voice...(it makes me giggle now) What do you mean he asks.... Well...( I tell him all about the rufe snow deal) Joel:Well what street are you on now?
me:I think Starnes. Joel: can you see the street sign? Me: no not really... oh, yeah I am.
Joel:What street are you looking for? me: Windhaven I'll find it honey, I have their number. I will call you back if I am lost.
Then all of a sudden there's a construction crew and we come to a complete stop. They have tractors and men all over the place.(the 18 wheeler in the movie) So we sit for like 10 minutes then we get to resume. I find the street, I see their address. I park in what I thought was their drive way. walk up to the door juggling all the dishes with one hand(gas on the other) only to see the house number that says 7503. Their address is 7501. So I trek through their yards and ring the door bell.
I told her about the gas and washed my hands immediately. Told her all the food needs to know...tempature...why their salad was cucumberless etc...I talked to sweet little Camille, whom mom has kept up so I can see. I wanted to hold that little angel, but felt too yucky dirty! Well, they are a beautiful family! I am blessed through their blessings!
I am actually having a wonderful week! I hope you all are as well!
I read this scripture today and was blessed. Nothing to do with my day yesterday. Just a great scripture.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it. Revelation 2:17
