Weird Things That Make Me Feel Weird

I've always been an awkward person.  I don't know if I show it on the outside but on the inside I always feel awkward.  Standing in a room full of people.  Makes me feel awkward.  Talking to any of those people = awkward.  Walking is awkward, sitting is awkward.  Everything is all weird inside of my brain and I'm never really relaxed.  Weird and tense and all those awkward things are always just floating around inside of me.  I should probably have a drinking problem.  Then I'd feel relaxed inside instead of awkward and weird.  I wonder what that would do with my personality?

Well anyway, this week was "Dad's Week" at Joey's preschool.  Well, since Kevin is a stinky face still 'new' at his job he didn't want to take the day off to spend at preschool.  I am upset about it kinda understand but I didn't want Joey to not have someone there so I signed up to be the parent volunteer both days the dad's were invited.  Which worked out because he loves me there and I have a good time volunteering at the school. 

I was the only mom there both days.  Oh well.  Some of these kids have 'mom candy' dads.  (Kinda like eye candy but mom candy sounds better to me).  It was pretty sweet having a little candy to look at both days.

Anyway, as everyone was packing up to go home today, Little E, came to say goodbye to Joey.  I spoke with Little E's dad and told him how sweet I think his boy is and said that I would like to pass my information along to him to give to his wife so that she and I could set up a play date sometime for the boys.  As I was handing my telephone number to the guy the awkward hit me and I almost wanted to wad the paper up and put it in the trash because I thought, 'oh boy this looks funny'.  Would you guys feel like you were slutting it if you gave your telephone number to some guy (to give to his wife) so that a play date could be arranged for the kids?

Now in my head, the wife will be cleaning out his pockets for laundry this evening and find my name and phone number and you know what will hit the fan.  He'll tell the story of how he was at preschool today and about Joey and such but she won't believe him and they'll get all mad and fight some more because she won't believe him and...............over-active imagination much?  I know.

  1. I think most of us feel awkward at times.

    Eventually, when I hit my 50's, I finally love myself.

    (yes, it took that long!)

  2. I've always been awkward too. I just don't care. It makes getting drunk at parties a show ;)

  3. I don't think that was as awkward as you think it was. Maybe it was a little tiny bit, but not much!
