Has anyone seen my shoe?

I'm notorious for thinking about getting things together for the next morning, but not doing it. I always think I'll get up a little early so I can iron and fix my lunch, but it never happens.

This morning the alarm goes off and what do I do? Hit snooze, not once, not twice, but three times. So, by the time I get up I have no extra time to do anything beyond the normal getting ready routine. I knew I should have ironed and fixed my lunch last night. Crap!

Things were going pretty good. I picked out an outfit that didn't need ironing and got dressed. Then decided I would just go out for lunch. Yes, I'm going to be on time!

Well, I always wear the same pair of brown shoes with this outfit, but I could only find one of the shoes. By this time I can hear sissy in her room crying wanting me to come get her and DH is in the shower so I know the crying is not going to stop until I go get her. I'm running around like a crazy woman looking for my other shoe.

I looked in the closet, under the bed, in the living room, in the kitchen, in both bathrooms, and in Bubba's room. No shoe to be found and sissy is getting louder and louder, I'm getting even more frustrated and now I'm going to be late for work. I ran in the bathroom and shouted at DH "I can't find my other shoe and I'm past frustrated"! (Like it's his fault)

So, DH gets out of the shower to help me find my other shoe. (Thanks honey!) I go get sissy and get her dressed and ready to go, while DH searched the house and he couldn't find the other shoe either. Where did that shoe go? We don't have any pets inside our house so I know the dog didn't hide it. I always take my shoes off at the same place and all my other shoes were lined up right in that place, all matching pairs. I even asked sissy if she knew where it was and she just kept repeating "momma where's your shoe?"

I finally gave up and put on a newer, uncomfortable, pair of brown shoes. Yes they are cute, but they are not broke in and comfy like the pair I wanted to wear. Now I'm at work thinking about that stupid missing shoe and not getting anything done. Not to mention, my feet hurt. ( I know whaaaaa, whine a little why don't ya)

When will I learn? If I had just taken a few minutes last night this would have all been avoided and my feet would be comfy and happy in my favorite pair of brown shoes. At least I think they would, that shoe has to be in the house somewhere, right?
