Sometimes, not being organized has it's price. One of those times was yesterday, when I enrolled princess D in ballet.
Since the place they prefer us to buy their shoes/leotards,etc. is up North, I thought I'd be efficient by taking her with me since the ballet school was on the way. We flew in and out of the school, thanks to the efficiency of the registrar. Next step, leotard and convertible tights. It shouldn't take too long at 10am on a weekday.
An hour later...."Why can't I find this place. I thought it was right off the highway."
The poor girl was restless, hungry and bored.
So we stopped at SugarMomma's in Briarcliff for a snack. She chose an enormous filled cupcake, topped with fudge and a chocolate covered strawberry. I had Roasterie chocolate-coffee blend and a blueberry muffin. We both decided enough was enough and headed back home.
On the way home it dawned on me why I couldn't find the place. I was one exit too far South.
An hour & a bunch of gas wasted, because of a scatty memory and leaving my phone at home.
Sometimes I do leave my phone behind on purpose. This was not one of them.
If I had my phone, I could have called Mr. Man.
If I had my phone, I could have looked up the Dance Shoppe address.
If I had my phone, I would have had free GPS.
How did our parents ever find the ten million places we needed to be without cell phones?
After lunch, we went back. Just a couple exits past the bakery where we had our snack.
At least I had a fun snack date with my daughter.
