I realize that I am still on that ride, allowing my monkey mind to take me places that I did not know existed when I realize an hour too late that I have missed teaching my regularly scheduled yoga class! I am embarrassed beyond words, apologize to all involved but that does very little to ease anything I am feeling, other than adding on to the mix of confusion I am already going through. A gentle reminder from my DH that I need to be mindful and be present no matter what does not help either as I shoot a look at him that says "Look who's talking" for isn't he the king of forgetfulness? To tell you just one incident, after having made arrangements for a big party, all I ask my DH to do is bring a bag or two of potato chips on his way back home from work and guess what he comes home with? A big bag of potatoes. While he puts the big bag on the counter with innocence, displaying a broad grin of a man who has accomplished something perfectly, all I could do was melt and be speechless!
I wake up, adamant to get back to routine and head out to gym, congratulating myself for trying this hard. I go to the water fountain to fill water and am aware of this person waiting impatiently for his turn. I turn around, offer a polite morning and a 'thank you' for waiting and with out waiting for a response back, rush to my already in session spinning class. I put my left foot on the pedal, and as I bring my right foot around, I freeze. Now I know why that frown had turned into a smile on that gentleman's face waiting behind me for a drink of water. I look at right foot again, look around and am only glad everyone is too busy spinning working out to notice my well.....mismatched shoes! Yes, I had worn entirely two different shoes on my feet - color, lace and what not! Oh well, too late now is all I think as I run quickly in my mind the lengthy walk to the water fountain, back to the spinning room and the number of people I have already bumped into. Not wanting to make a bigger deal of this, I go through the motions of spinning and sneak out of the class skipping the cool down. I am sure that one lady in my row had her eyes open wide when she saw me walk by as she was stretching!
As soon as I come home, my DS is ready for school and to tease him I ask him to point out the anomaly in my dressing and his eyes go right to my shoes and his mouth leaves a "Oh mom" but then recovers quickly to shoot out a "This is another reason why I don't want you walking in to my school" and heads out. I am tickled now and so impulsively take a picture and send it to my friend and a yoga buddy who absolutely cannot take anything odd to the extent that even while she sleeps, she makes sure she sleeps evenly, as far as her posture is concerned. While she loves everything even, I love everything odd and we joke that we balance one another out well. So I was not surprised when her message back says "Now how do I balance this out?" I keep the shoes on, to see my DD's reaction. I can't wait for her to wake up and take a look. Even at her groggiest best, she is a little mommy I tell you, for as soon as she sees my shoes, she goes with a "See, this is another reason why you must tie your lace and not slip in your shoe like you do!". While helping her get ready, I tell her that one time for my first ever interview here, how I had worn two different ear rings and only had realized after coming home, while removing the ear rings with a sigh of relief at a 'gone well' interview only to turn red in face realizing the faux pas.
Oh well, now can you see that these things happen routinely in our house hold, most definitely to me? If you still do not believe and if you have time, here take a look at what I had shared earlier Have you ever been embarrassed?
Embarrassed? Again?
