Today is the longest day of the year for our district....parent/teacher conferences. UGH! We start the day at 8 with a half day of school, prepare for conferences and then meet with parents until 8. Just a long day.
All of a sudden I look up and realize the school day is coming to a close. I ponder for a few seconds, do I order lunch or not? Our principal is very generous an orders dinner food to have in between conferences. It is pouring rain and hailing outside, so I definitely don't even want to run out for a little something. There is my answer, Jimmy John's it is. I better hurry and place my order, it is 11:30 right now and I have to be at a meeting by one. Logged in: Triple chocolate chunk cookie. CHECK (I will need a boost later) Chips. CHECK (Not thinny chips, just regular) Vegetarian, easy cheese, avocado spread and easy mayo. CHECK Now that I decided I can't wait for it to get here. I can't stop thinking about how good my food is going to taste. It is taking so long to be delivered, why is it taking forever??? My cellphone is ringing, it is an area code by where I live. I should get it, maybe it is about my kids. The person on the line says "Hi, I am trying to deliver your sandwich, but there is an older lady that says she didn't order anything.” I start to laugh hysterically out of embarrassment. I said “OMG, you are delivering to my house, not where I am." I didn't double check my address. Clearly I was panicking to get in the order I missed that I sent it to my home instead. The girl was very kind and said she would cancel the order and get me a refund. I can't believe I did that! So I tried again, this time to the correct address, but the wrong chips and I ran out of time to eat it. LONGEST DAY EVER! :-)

That is funny and the worst thing all at the same time. I would have been starving and cranky.

I could have died when the girl told me she tried to deliver it to my mom, yet so disappointed! Lol
