So I wore my knickers inside out!

I am now on a week's holiday from work. Whoop, whoop! I obviously need it, as yesterday I wore my knickers inside out all day, fortunately not in 'superman style'.

Contrary to what any person may be thinking, I did not get dressed in the dark. It was quite perfectly light actually. I just wasn't taking any notice of what I was doing. What's worse is that I didn't even realise until I got home and changed out of my work clothes. Now it's not really a disaster. No-one could see I had done that, and no-one laughed! I'm still embarrassed though.

I've done worse. I have wondered around a supermarket with my jumper on inside out, label exposed, with all the seams on show, and not realised until I've got home. I've even got to my parents house and realised that I have one black shoe on and one navy shoe. I'm always wearing odd socks, but that's considered quite trendy and cool. To be honest I'm not quite with it when I'm getting ready for the day sometimes, and it shows. I make my lunch. I go to work. Said lunch is still in the fridge. I make a list. I go shopping. Said list is on the work top at home. I'm just a walking dippy person sometimes. 

I think it's a bit of stress right now? At the moment I have a lot going on, and over the last few days I can feel it building up. I'm working really hard to keep it under control but my biggest problem is that I like things to be perfect. I have gone over and over in my head my parents Diamond anniversary small lunch for the family. What food to have, how to lay the table, the cake, the balloons, the announcement and how the day will go. I like to plan carefully, and so far the cake is great, the presents are lovely, the card we picked is beautiful, oh and the card from the Queen arrived. My mother actually thought the card from the Queen was a joke, until I explained how special it is. I just hope she didn't screw it up! So far the only disappointment I have had is that the announcement in our local paper was not how I thought it should be. It was put amongst the classified ads under Celebrations not under family announcements, and I have expressed my disappointment to the Editor, and requested they think again about where they place things like that in the future. It's not going to help the announcement I put for today but I actually think it's not acceptable. The death notices are all large and spaced nicely, yet celebrations are tightly packed in a page full of ads like 'woman wants to solvent man' and 'three Victorian chairs for sale'. A celebration should be exactly that and one for people to see clearly. Anyway we will see what the reply is. 

Back to my dippy moments. I can honestly say I have never walked out of a toilet with toilet roll stuck to my shoe. I have seen many others do it, particularly when I used to go clubbing. I think it is ingrained in my head to check this fully before I exit a toilet!! But I have managed to splash myself with water from a violent tap in a public toilet, so I look like I have wet myself. I have also been out to dinner, wearing white, and dropped a spoon in my soup so it splattered up my top right at the start of the meal. I do not order soup or spaghetti or anything sloppy when we are out to eat any more!! It's a learning curve, but I hate to say that this wasn't the first time I have worn my knickers inside out. Still I suppose it's better than wearing my trousers inside out? I've done that, but only at home! 

Oh the joys of not concentrating, and sometimes wandering through life in a haze. I have told my sons I am going to do things like wearing my knickers inside out deliberately when I am old (older). I am going to run down the street in my nightie, flirt with strange men in the local British Legion and escape and run riot in a supermarket. There will be no hope for me, and I will have lots of fun annoying the hell out of them!! I probably won't actually, but it's very funny to worry them.
