I’m guilty as charged! I have been caught in my gown TWICE in a weeks time! People, what in the world!?!?! Do I need to wake up and immediately have clothes waiting for me to hop into? I think I need a set-up like Jane Jetson. Remember how she would go through a tube and have her clothes on and then she could instantly have her hair and makeup fixed?
Well, the other day, I have to admit IT WAS PASSED 8AM (sarcasm) on Monday morning when the first offense occurred. I love the sweet lady who came, but if you guys know me — you know that people pop in all of the time. MANY in this community have caught me in my robe and with my hair in a towel. Of course you probably read my post about having some white stuff on my face a few weeks ago, remember?!?!?!? Anyway, back to last Monday, my doorbell rang. I couldn’t hide because my daughter was already yelling, “MOMMY, SOMEBODY IS AT THE DOOR AND IT ISN’T DADDY!!!!” Normally, putting on my robe wouldn’t be an issue, but somehow, somewhere I got a huge stain on my robe. I think it sat under something wet and now the stain won’t come out. So what choice did I have but to put on the ugly stained robe and go to the door. My beautiful friend was all dolled up and I looked like the hag who had just rolled out of bed. Ha. Dang.
Then TODAY at 7:15am, I’m actually starting to read your blogs and DING DONG!
Oh NO, IT CAN’T BE!!! Sure enough, a man was at the door. Oh for cryin’ in the rain. Why does this happen to me. I HAD TO RUN TO THE DOOR BEFORE HE AWAKENED MY DAUGHTER. I saw it was my friend Dax (Jennifer, I know you are cracking up at this point) who wanted to leave us some money for something my husband purchased for him. Seriously, somehow I supernaturally crained my neck around the door — only exposing my shoulder and my face. He whispered, “Oh, sorry! Here, take this money” and he ran away. I probably scared him away. I hadn’t brushed my hair … it was only 7:15am.
Oh, someone PLEASE invent a Jane Jetson super dresser-upper for me PLEASE. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
Ok, per request, here is a picture of my new SHORT (scream) hair cut. I didn’t straighten it this morning and it is raining. You get the picture. 
OH, I needed this giggle this morning……
I also would like to place my order for the Jetson transportation services while we are at it. Oh, and possibly Rosie the maid, too! LOL
I never answer the door before 8AM or after 8PM. Hard to avoid since we have french doors in our kitchen which we use as our main entry to the house. I've added bamboo shades to allow us some sense of privacy-however all it does is mainly block the light. I'm a ducker….and will hide if I'm not ready to see anyone! It's happened a lot–but unless I'm expecting someone….I'm not making an appearance!
I don't answer the door unless I have showered!
LOL! Your morning are quit eventful. 🙂
Our lawn guy always catches me like that. LOL
This did wonders for me today…I'm smiling ear to ear! Love your new "do"…so pretty!
Well, I like your hair and it doesn't seem so short to me. But I know what you mean. I have to at least be able to pull mine back into a pony tail or I can't stand it!
I haven't had anyone drop in really early for awhile but it's happened, and of course there I am in all my glory….not. Lovely unwashed, uncombed hair and jammies. Quite a fashion statement.
Going to go visit your friend's new blog now!
I need one of those inventions too, lol
You crack me up!!! Love the picture of your hair, you look great!!
Wow…I feel like crud now as I don't answer my door if I'm not descent.
I love your "for cryin' in the rain". Never heard that. Just "for cryin' out loud".
Hair looks good.
Boy I needed this laugh this morning. Things are pretty heavy over hear. Bad news (but God's not done with things yet) from the psychologist on my middle son. I don't fear diagnosis (like 3…) I just think they're just saying eveything…so today I need laughter…I'm heading STRAIGHT to the store to get a sim chip so I can video tape…I've been missing the vlogs…of course with all the stress I've gained 6 lbs.
Ohhhhh, Beth! I am lovin' the haircut! It's not a dramatic change but it still has the appearance of something's different! You go girl! It looks great!
Now, about your jammies, I say, (from experience), as long as everything is hidden and the nightime attire is not torn and ripped, then rock on girlfriend with a, "Hey, this is me," attitude!
🙂
smooches,
Larie
Oh yeah, I gotta tell you this, Anton use to tell me quite often that I should always be dressed just in case someone popped by.
Well, because I can be quite sassy sometimes, I responded, "Well at least I have SOMETHING on!"
I came out of the shower one evening, not knowing that Anton has received company and him forgetting that I do not usually get dressed in the bathroom, with all my "goodies" exposed!
Ahhhhhhhhh, horrifying!!!
smooches,
Larie
Can you hear me LOL??? I surely don't know how to invent that robe…but if you would be guilty as charged like that woman in the pic and ended up in our county jail, I will surely take good care of you my sister 🙂
I think the short hair looks nice. I'll be praying for the Lord to take care of your worries but I am also thanking Him for making us laugh through you. Blessings.
That is so funny! I get caught in my pjs alot actually!
I love your hair cut!
Your haircut looks great! I just did the same thing…I got my hair cut to just below my shoulders. I didn't realize how short that was (for me). It took me a bit to get used to it but now I love it!
I always throw on sweats once I get up. So I have yet to be caught in my PJs 🙂
I hate being caught like that too! Love you hair by the way! How is your beautiful daughter doing at Kindergarten?
Love Collette xxx
You are just too cute!! I'm always safe and sound whenever I'm dolled up, but if I take one day off and put aside my makeup… the paparazzi seizes this opportunity to stalk me and shove me into the spotlight :o) what a cruel world indeed!!
But hey, at least your friends (myself included) get a chuckle out of your misery.. eer, I mean embarrassment.. err, I mean unexpected confrontation with a pall!
I give you ALOT of credit for answering your door so early.
I think your hair looks cute!
I wear what's comfortable in my house. If someone shows up without an invitation, they get what they get!!
I think your hair looks great.
You have me cracking up over here! I am a ducker…if I'm not dressed, I don't answer the door! I have too much floppin' and flappin' around to be presentable! lol
Perhaps you need a little sign to hang on the front door…Please do not knock before 9:00 a.m.!😉
Your hair looks great! It looks long to me…I'd love to be able to let my hair grow longer, but it always reaches a stage where it starts driving me crazy…I always end up getting it cut again!
Oh my goodness Beth!! That is so funny!! I'm in tears reading this I'm laughing so hard!! hahaha!! That happens to me almost every Saturday morning!! hahah I'm gonna think of you everytime it happens now!! LOL Thanks for the laugh!! 😀
Kim
Or you can just do like me…and not answer the door! Ha! I have an award for you over on my page!
I can't tell you how many times I had to "hide behind the door!!" It's so embarassing! I think the UPS guy is used to it now though…lol!!
I love the new do!! So cute, Beth!!!
Oh good! I'm not the only one who has to hide from visitors. Before we moved, the Schwans guy would come to our house all the time. Not only did I NOT want to buy anything but I was also trying to avoid being seen looking a mess. But of course, who would be giggling and yelling, "Mommy somebody's here!!!" Yup, the little man. I eventually got better at avoiding him. As soon as I heard his loud truck pulling into the driveway, I'd grab the little guy and rush to my room, close the door and pray he wouldn't hear the little booger laughing.
Your hair looks so cute!
You are beautiful.
I am always getting caught in my PJ's, not a pretty sight since that means I'm braless. Pretty much from the minute I get home in the evening until the minute I leave for work the next day I'm in PJ's, so anyone who comes over is gonna see it. Oh well! They should be thankful I was kind enough to put on shorts!
Hi Beth,
Had to post b/c I'm laughing…I live in the same neighborhood as Deanna and we have 2 windowpaned front doors! what was I thinking when we built the house…there is NO avoiding whomever is at the door b/c they can SEE you instantly. I have no idea how to cover them either.

That is too funny! I love the pictures, hee hee.
I have had that problem in the past… but not anymore. I get dressed the second my feet hit the floor (not Jane Jetson style though… mostly paint clothes and the like). Even when I'm sick. Blech.
I am so thankful that no one ever comes to our door! Sorry that keeps happening to you! I like your new haircut!
