My Shoes

I love Shoes! I love My shoes! I would say that I have a plethora of shoes to choose from to wear. I have several places of which I store my shoes. One place is very organized as the picture below displays. This is part of a well organized wall of shoes.

Another place that I store my shoes is not quiet as organized because I lack the room to store ALL of my shoes in an organized manner.

Image On last Wednesday, I decided to find my most comfortable shoes to wear to school. So.. I quickly found a pair and didn't give it much further thought. As I was sitting in my chair talking to the kids in my class - I had crossed my legs. It was THEN that I noticed that I had about a 1 1/2" tear in my shoe. That was 1st period. So.. 2nd period I had crossed the OTHER leg and THEN noticed that I had the same type of tear in my OTHER shoe.

Image After walking around during my planning period and having to go to various places - my shoe ended up looking like this!! - I was concentrating on my work - by 5th period I crossed my legs and realized that it had gotten much worse! In fact the black rubber was flopping around and one female student said Mrs. Bond is your shoe ripped. I said yes! She said I noticed it because of that black thing flopping around!!
It seems to be some kind of poetic justice for someone like me who loves shoes to totally be humiliated with a sloppy pair of shoes on my feet!! It's not like I didn't have shoes to choose from. But I vaguely remember seeing these shoes with a rip and thought that I would just get them repaired and promptly put them on my shoe rack! Later of course to wear them to School by accident!!!! Funny I am still having a hard time putting them in the trash. Its like parting from a good friend.
Now to make matters worse for my self esteem - I am getting to the point that I cannot wear heels any longer even for a few hours to church! - Last time I wore my cute boots with heels I thought that I wouldn't make it home the balls of my feet hurt so bad. So.... I went out and bought some cute flat soled shoes. I gave away 3 pairs of my cute heeled boots to Katie Brentlinger who is young and cute and can wear them!
Life Sucks sometimes!
