How Embarrassing!!

I started the day off slow today. I didn't want to get up let alone get out of bed. But my daughter had other ideas. So I grudgingly got up and at 'em. I fed Rebecka and put her down for her morning nap and then started pumping. I had just finished, it's about 9:15 or so, and was still just wearing my G's, when there was a knock on my door. Quietly I snuck into the bathroom, stripped and jumped into the shower, to pretend that I didn't hear the knock.
I turned the water on and it only came out in a trickle, then I realized that the maintenance man must be replacing the water valves in our complex. Oh Crap! It then dawned on me that it was him at the door. I ran to my bedroom stark naked. I reach the doorway just as I heard the lock on the front door come undone. I didn't know what to do when the man called out. It's not like I could just open the door and say "Come on in!" I panicked and hid in my room as he wondered about my apartment.
THEN I remembered my baby! She was going to wake up any minute and the handy-man was going to think that I left her alone. What to do, what to do!!!

I heard him making noises in the kitchen so I got up the nerve to quietly do a reconnaissance mission. I opened the door and saw his shadow,and then quickly shut it again. Waited and tried again.
I dashed into the nursery just in time, Rebecka was starting to stir.

I really didn't know what to do. The man had no idea I was even here. And if he did then he hid it very well. I was pacing the room trying to keep Baby Girl quiet when, thankfully, Caleb got out of class 30 minutes early. He knew I was there and peeked in the room and I motioned for him to shut the door. I whispered what was going on and was hoping for a better response. He just laughed at my predicament and didn't offer any words of advice and went to talk to the guy like nothing had happened!
I was getting way ancy now. So was Rebecka.
I had a thought if I could sneak past him, he was in the bathroom now, and get to the front door I could pretend to be just getting home. Sounded good to me. I got of the courage and put my plan into action.

I did it and the man didn't even pay any attention to me! What a waste of a good plan!
I don't know if this sounds a funny written down as it did when I was telling it, but it did make me laugh a few times today. Hope it at least made you smile!!

  6. I always run around the house nude after a shower, it's my freedom. I'm absolutely scared someone will knock on the door and I'll answer it forgetting that I'm naked.
