I've been on the road a lot lately during the work day traveling from place to place interviewing students for our new magnet school, i.e. my new job. I love talking to these students and their parents. I leave a school after three or four hours of interviews ALL excited about what we're getting ready to do for these kids.Yesterday, I thought I would stop at Chick-fil-a for lunch on my way back to the office. I parked...grabbed my wallet...went inside...walked to the ladies room...used the ladies room...washed my hands...walked back outside to the car...drove away.
So...what's wrong with this picture. NO FOOD....I completely forgot to order!!! I just got in the car and left. About a minute into my drive away I realized what I'd done and turned around and headed for the drive through.

And believe you me...that's nothing compared to the $237 speeding ticket I got the other day leaving another school. I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice when the 55 mile speed limit on the country road slowed to 35.
I ain't EVEN kidding!!
So feeling this post today. I have been so swamped at work, I don't know which way it up.
ReplyDeleteHow inconsiderate of that policeman to give you a ticket. Does he not know that teachers are always in deep, important, world-changing thought??? Gosh! Love your Chick-Fil-A story! xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Now that's distracted. Funny, but distracted.
ReplyDeleteGood thing you're enjoying what you're doing.
I'm just sayin'
I'm jealous of your job. Sounds fun and rewarding. I want to work again.
ReplyDeleteNot now, when kids get older.
Anyhoo, I have left my groceries at the store. Paid and just walked out the door. Then of course I chased out by the checker.
Kids just suck the brains right out of you.
Yikes $237.00????!!!! That hurts!
ReplyDeleteHugs!

I have done that so many times! (Left my food... not the ticket!) I think I am completely ADD most of the time. Wait, no, that's not it. I am just a mother!
ReplyDeleteI am new to your blog. I thought that was an April Fool story. Was it not?! LOL
ReplyDeleteLord have mercy Belle...$237??? Ouch! I know that issue though...I've gone into a gas station, paid for my gas, and got in my car and drove off! I did this early one morning in Palm Springs, drove around all day running errands and then the low-fuel light came on. It STILL took me a good five minutes to realize what I had done!
