Well we have all had them, and I have had quite a few. But last night brought my embarrassing moments to another level.
To start, Parker had finished his reading book, and as a reward I was going to take him and his good friend Ben miniature golfing. I thought that I knew of a location for miniature golfing was and we only had about an hour window in which to play, but after driving around for 45 minutes, I told the boys that I couldn't find the golfing place and that we would have to settle on some ice cream and try again tomorrow. Right after I told them that, traffic stopped. After being in traffic for 20 minutes I then had to tell them that we would have to settle on some sugar cookies I had at home. Both of them were so cute and patient. I got them home, got the promised sugar cookies, and then rushed off to our ward's enrichment night.
I arrived a little late and was standing in the doorway looking for a seat. A friend, Natalie, came in late also. I gave her a smile and said hi. After returning the hello she, as any great, true friend would, told me that I had broccoli in my teeth. I thanked her and went into the ladies room. I was so glad that she told me of my teeth and glad that I had escaped any big embarrassment. (I have done it many times, upon returning from a night socializing and give myself a big smile in the mirror only to see in you reflection a piece of dinner there front and center.)
I went back in, I did mention that I was late, and slipped into a seat next to another good friend, Delinda and I told her of my night with Ben and Parker. After listening to my tale, she, again as any good, true friend would, told me that I had something in my left nostril. Laughing, I excused myself, again, to the ladies room. I guess that I had been so interested in my teeth the first time I didn't notice anything else.
Well, I wish I could say that the story ended there. But alas, there couldn't be a through embarrassment if we forgot the third most embarrassing thing. When I got home, my sister Sarah called and as I was in the process telling her of my night I realized that my zipper was down.

I have had all three things happen, but not at the same time! Things like this help keep us humble.
amazing! it doesn't get any better than that...or worse i guess:)
I think we used to notice those things ourselves before going into public--before we had kids--now I worry so much about if the kids have coats, shoes, backpack, something to eat etc. I often forget to check myself. I nearly walked out the door in my pjs to walk Daniel to school. embarrassing moments are just evidence of a caring mommyh!
