Last Sunday the YW were asked to share their experiences from camp, in Sacrament Meeting. The leaders were asked to speak also, that meant me..... NOOOOOO!! I hate speaking in front of people, it is so out of my comfort zone. You see when I prepare for a talk, in my mind every thing is said perfectly, my talks are always well worded and I don't skip a beat, but what actually happens is when I open my mouth every word becomes another language, my words get all mixed up and they don't make sense at all... (A.K.A Museum Director in, Night at the Museum)
It seems to me that the audience all have blank stares on their faces, like they have know idea what I'm talking about. I really was nervous about this, I couldn't sleep the night before and I ended up rewriting my talk just 1 hr before, but just ended up throwing it away. I got dressed remembering to make sure I put an extra coating of deodorant on... since I had Emmie, I sweat like a beast, and that is the last thing I would want is Navajo Taco Pits during my talk... drawing more attention to the nervous speaker. I said a little prayer and grabbed my bag and headed out the door.... I still felt like I was missing something, hhmm... Scriptures.. check.. scribbled notes for talk... check... deodorant.. double check... kids are ready and Hubby will bring them over.... check... what could it be, I don't feel right! I went to look in the mirror again and there in horror I saw what I was missing...
MY OVER THE SHOULDER BOULDER HOLDER!!!!
Can you believe I almost went to church and gave a talk to all my neighbors, friends and ward family with out my "holder"?
I can't believe after 24 years of getting up every morning doing the same thing over and over again that on this day I would forget!
Thank goodness for a women's intuition!!
Needless to say I made it through the talk with holder and all!

That was the most hilarious thing I ever read!!! My thing lately is getting dressed in a hurry or in the dark and running to the store and I only find out that my shirt is on wrong side out. What kids to do you. I am sorry that I missed your talk, maybe you can come over and share it!!
You are sooooo funny!!! You really make me laugh. Those YW are so lucky to have you as one of their leaders. You are the best.
Do you wanna hear something funny? I did the very same thing after YW camp a few years back. I have to say though... it felt good to be free! :)
OK So your not going to believe me when I tell you this but atleast you didnt go out of your house with out your bra! I on the other hand last sunday wasnt so fortunate! I went walking into sacrament meeting late..and had to sit on the front row..thought to myself..huh something doesnt feel right but continued through the meeting and then walking to class I kinda grabbed myself for a quick check and to my horror yep you got it no flippin bra!!!!!!!!! I ran into the kitchen and just started laughing so hard I started to cry! needless to say I handed the kids off to abe and left that place as fast as I could!!!! I guess thats what us mothers get when we are getting everyone else ready for church we forget to get ourselves complete!!! ha ha I am laughing that is great!
It's epidemic!! I haven't caught it yet. I protect myself by wearing no bra on purpose. Ahhhh! Yeah, who cares about knee-knockers at my age??
Your talk was great! No blank stares from me. I was smiling at you the whole time.
