One morning last week I had this terrific idea. My idea was to get up, make breakfast for my Hubby and I, send Hubby on his way to attend a noon board meeting and STAY IN MY JAMMIES while I spent some time writing on my blog.  As I was sending my Hubby out the door I asked him if he would pick up our mail from our post office box while he was out.  My thought was this: there’s no sense in me getting out to pick up the mail, if he was going to be close to the post office.  And I could STAY IN MY JAMMIES for as long as I wanted to on this particular day.

I knew my Hubby was going to pick up a man, who was also attending the board meeting, so they could ride together.  This is what happened, on this day I decided to STAY IN MY JAMMIES.  Instead of going to his board meeting and bringing the mail home afterwards, My Hubby, Ed (I’ll just call him by name because I’m tired of typing ‘Hubby’) decided to drop the mail off before the meeting.  And, for some reason he decided to bring his friend in the house with him.  Ed opened the door, said “knock~knock”…to which I said, “are you alone”…to which he said, “does that matter”…to which I said, “well, I think it does~I’M IN MY JAMMIES”".  So, I ran into the bedroom and threw on a sweatshirt.  Which, by the way, looked really stupid with my JAMMIE bottoms.  No color coordination!  So now this man probably thinks, “what a lazy daisy, and she’s color blind too”!

Honestly, it’s really not a big deal.  But, I have made this mental retirement NOTE TO SELF:

  • Unrealistic Expectation~Assume, even though I am in my Jammies when he walks out the door of the house, Ed thinks I will be getting dressed for the day fairly soon.  Do not assume he gets it, that I may STAY IN MY JAMMIES part of the day.  Inform Ed that there is a possibility that I will not get dressed for the day, right away.
  • Or, Post a sign next to the coffee pot on STAY IN MY JAMMIES day.  “THIS IS STAY IN MY JAMMIES DAY”!
  • Or, just get dressed as soon as my feet hit the floor in the mornings.

I’m still trying to decide which option is best.  Maybe I’ll just STAY IN MY JAMMIES tomorrow and think about it!
