Extreme Embarrassment

Okay, I cannot believe I am sharing this with you all, but after going through my day feeling like I have a major secret that I am keeping has made me convinced that if I get it off my chest (no pun intended) and share it with you, then I can move on.

Have you ever been so embarrassed that you cannot even believe that it actually happened? Where it feels too embarrassing to even possibly be real? Well I had that feeling this morning. First of all let me say, I take complete blame for it happening since I waited until the very last minute to get myself ready this morning. Our home AC has been acting up so Josh set up for someone to come and look at it at 10am this morning. So here I am, in my bathroom getting changed knowing that he will be here in just a few minutes. I had our dog Lucy in my room with me and the door shut so when he arrived I wouldn't have to deal with Lucy excitedly running around. Suddenly my bedroom door opens and Lucy goes barging out. So here I come bursting out of my bedroom with nothing but some capri pants on shouting "Colton get Lucy!" when what do I see? I'm standing face to face with the AC man. I froze! Then I quickly covered myself up with my arms and disappeared as fast as I possible could back into my bathroom. I stood there almost completely stunned! Did this really just happen? Could this possibly really have just happened to me! No, there's no way. Then Colton comes in. "Mom? (long pause) Are you embarrassed?" Okay, this did just happen! Aaahhh.....!!!! So once I realized that I was going to have to get myself dressed and face this man like an adult I went out to talk to him. We had some good laughs about it and exchanged apologies to one another. He explained that he knocked on the garage door (which leads into our laundry room) and Colton answered it and asked him to come in. At least Colton knew that this man was coming over so he knew he wasn't a complete stranger but after today he knows not to answer a door EVER, unless I ask him to do so. Well, we are strangers no more! I don't know if it makes me feel any better that Josh knows the guy or not. In a way it does, but in a way I almost wish he was a complete stranger who I never had to worry about seeing again. Oh well, what's done is done and I can't worry about it any more. Josh came home for lunch and Colton says, "Daddy, the AC man saw mommy's ninnies." Aaahhh... will this ever end! So now that I've gotten it off my chest (again, no pun intended) I think I'll move on.
