My LATEST embarrassing moment...

So, this morning, I'm trying to get the kids dropped off at school.  It's a little hectic.  I went through the drive-through lane, and got everyone out the door.  Just as they were shutting the door, my phone rang.  I was trying to answer the phone and drive off when... WHOOPS!  I ran over the traffic cone!  I went forward a little more, but didn't see the cone behind me.  So, I pulled over, and GOT OUT OF THE CAR to look under it for the cone.  No cone.  So, I'm thinking that maybe I didn't run over it, or maybe I just didn't see it behind me.  I got back in my car and drive off.  As I'm driving down the hill, I can hear something rubbing under my car... hmmm.  I decide I'm going to have to stop again and check it out as soon as I get to Sonic for my morning "pick-me-up".  As I am pulling into Sonic, I hear a very loud noise.  I look behind me, and THE TRAFFIC CONE HAS FALLEN OUT FROM UNDER MY CAR!!!!!!   Ugh.  It was barely recognizable.  It was a crumpled heap of orange plastic.  I was so embarrassed!  Shelley and Judy were both at Sonic, too and both had a REALLY great laugh.

That's how my day began...  hmmm....

I should have pulled it out of the trashcan for you... as a simple reminder of crazy days :)

At least it fell out on its own, and you didn't have to try to pry it out at Sonic. Any situation could always be more embarrassing.

Some days are just "a step-in-it- day." Love, Mom

That was a great start to my day! I think those things are always more fun when you have friends to see!

I can top that. One day when I was picking up Sarah at school, I walked out of my car to open the door for her (even though the teachers can put them in for us) and Max (our then Schnauzzer puppy) locked the car door with Caleb asleep in his carseat. I was third in the car line and all the cars behind me had to be rerouted until we could get my car door open. Thank God for Onstar!!!
We can laugh about it now, but for a week after that I couldn't show my face in that car line!
Love, Roxanne
