A Lesson Learned


Oh dearie, dearie me.






Before I begin my tale I have to confess something:







My name is Andi and I sometimes do the school run in my pjs.















It's true. I have a tendency to be a Slummy Mummy.





I had been warned by my bestest friend,















'What if the car breaks down?'









On a ten minute run? How likely is that?








HAHAHAHAHAHA!










So I'm driving M to the train station, both wondering what the sudden strange noise was...















M deserts me - he has a train to catch.






RAC ETA - 2 hours.







I'm only about a mile from home so I decide to walk back...








up the steepest hill in the area....










Not only am I dressed in my pjs, I'm also desperate for the loo.






The effort of walking uphill is obviously putting pressure on my bladder and the desperation increases.






I'm walking like Max Wall...







To distract my thoughts, I text bestest friend to say I'll never scoff at her warnings again.






She replied 'Don't break into a run or they'll think you've escaped from the local hospital'.










We have lots of traffic on our road. Goodness knows what they thought.





Fortunately I only met one other person walking towards me





WHO STOPPED ME TO ASK DIRECTIONS!







Is there ANYTHING better than the blessed relief of reaching a toilet in such circumstances?





I've learned my lesson. From now on I'll dress before playing chauffeur.






Blessings,




Andi xx

  10. Oh I can so relate to you! That's why they invented drive through Dunkin Donuts...just for me. I remember when they didn't have drive through DD's and I'd drop the kids off in my p.j.s and run in with my head down. Only saving grace was my next door neighbor and I took turns and she was dressed just like me!
