"The Devil Wears Birkenstocks"-LOL

They so got me this morning!!!
Last night, rational brain reasoned, "I know it's the first day of school for students, nobody will be calling me on the first day, the most important day, so I really don't have to shave my legs, wash my hair, or face the depressing task of finding out if any of my "work" clothes will fit over the increased expanse of derriere-- I can wait till the weekend."
Good night's sleep----
Phone rings far off in a distant state of unwakefulness-
Son answers, meanwhile brain has kicked in---why would the phone be ringing this early , unless--- unless,-- oh my ---, Ye Gads! Nothing is ready, and Jennah hasn't got a bag ready for new babysitter, and I didn't shave my legs, and my hair's a mess, and no clothes at the ready --------
Son says, " Shall I say you're sleeping?" As much as I wanted to say YES, I most certainly did not want to start off the second day of the rest of my life with obvious deception, so with trepidation, heart in throat, adrenaline reeling through my now awake on full alert system, I meekly took the phone "Hello!""
"Hi, this is J, would you be able to substitute for me on Sept. 11, and 12? " Phew-- immediate relief, not THIS morning, all systems back to normal----- until I ask, what grade?
"Primary "------ "Primary???????, I repeat, in high-pitched frantic tone, "Primary??"
In the background, I hear laughter, and I know she's calling from the staffroom, and I can almost guarantee, a certain birkenstock wearing blogger is behind this wake up call !!!!! And I've been chuckling all day, remembering the one day in my life, when I was subbing in a primary class, the year I took off when Michael was born, which I won't disclose how many years ago, and I told myself----- It won't be that bad again, you can do it this time!!!!! And I thank the "devil" because way worse than getting a call, would be never having the phone ring--- so thank you, LJLC, I am really looking forward to the experience, you really are an angel in birkenstocks, much love to you for thinking of me!!--- Yikes, Primaries in September! And tonight, I have a list of matters to attend to--- shave legs, etc. etc. etc.
