Epic Misty Vaughn moment on Friday at school...possibly a have to be there kind of situation but I will do my best to try and explain.
On my way to school I had a feeling it was someones birthday who I worked with...but I left the list on the fridge...and went on my way.
We order out every Friday so when I figured out it is actually Debbie's birthday over the upcoming weekend...I tell her I am going to pay for her lunch.
Picture this... I go into the office to pick up our lunch delivery...I am actually leaning over the counter and start spilling my guts to our school secretary, Mrs. Joy. (who I consider a friend but she may feel different after Friday's stunt)
I begin with...I am such a horrible friend...I cannot remember anything...<all the while she is shaking her head attentively and patiently listening to my spill> I continue rambling on about being so absent minded.
Then the moment arrives...when I eat a whole "foot"long sandwich...ha As I continue on it is this feeling of she is waiting to say something...then I say..I couldn't even remember that it is....Debbie's birthday on Sunday...she replies that she does that kind of stuff all of the time.
Then, suddenly I look up...and my principal is completely beet-red in the face walking out of his office...laughing hysterically and pointing over Mrs. Joy's head. He mouths to me her birthday is Sunday, too!!!!
So, it dawns on me...awww, she was probably waiting to say it is okay to me because she was expecting me to say I forgot her birthday instead of Debbie's. I am such an idiot sometimes. I still feel absolutely horrible ...but definitely gave them all a good laugh in the office.
Why do I do such stupid stuff from time to time??? One thing for sure, I told both of them Happy Birthday today with a simple text. Hopefully, I will get it right next year! Please forgive your stupid 4th grade teacher friend...(and I don't even say the "s" word)
Make today a great day, Mrs. JOY! You are way too kind to me:)
