I do what I can to spread the joy and put a smile on people's faces, even at my own expense and such was the case today.
Let me preface this by saying I've been inordinately tired this week: sick girls up in the middle of the night with coughing fits and earaches, working a double shift last night (school then restaurant), and feeling like I may be coming down with whatever crud the kids have been infecting the house with for the last week and a half. (That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!)
So, I'm walking into work at the school this morning and I'm passing all the parents who have just dropped their kids off and are heading back to their cars. I notice one gal in particular who looks like she just rolled out of bed a few minutes ago and is shuffling along in her slippers.
Here were my exact thoughts:
She looks tired...
...just like me...yawn...
...hmmm...I have some slippers just like that...
...they make that same shuffling sound...
...kind of like the sound my feet are making right now...yawn...
...wow, my feet feel especially comfy this morning...

HOLY FLIP! I'M STILL WEARING MY SLIPPERS!
Yes, I made a lot of people happy today by embarrassing myself at work. Like I said, I am not above sacrificing my own comfort level if it will give someone something to chuckle about for the rest of the day. Yes, today I made a lot of people smile. And it was worth it. (At least that's what I'm telling myself.)

It's always great when you can make others smile...
Oh, it's almost Halloween, I'm sure they all thought you were in a your costume and you'd just taken your robe off because it was too hot.
Did your feet stay warm all day? :)
LOL!! :-D
There is nothing like having comfy feet, I say!
Hope everyone's feeling better at your house - or that they will soon, including you!
Way to hang in there. ;-)
What? No picture?
I hope everyone is doing better at your house now!
