Open House

Okay, just when you think you couldn't embarass yourself more...

Last night was Open House at the school, that amazing long ass day that seeps into night- utter hell for a teacher, and I decided to wear a skirt. I used to wear this 4-year old A-symmetrical skirt, and I would get a lot of comments on it. I think I now know why.
As I was leaving the house, the hubby said, "Hey, that's the skirt that you can see full sillouette (aka camel toe)through when you stand with the sun behind you."
I snickered, "I'm about to go stand under a bunch of flourecent lights." No problem, right?
Wrong!
Lo and behold, the sun set directly through the front window of my classroom at exactly 6 pm. Making it worse, I had prepared a PowerPoint that needed to be navigated...directly in the beam of sun!
I started off my little talk with a room full of parents, and of course, I had my legs plastered together to avoid the view. Unfortunately, it was time to advance the slide on my presentation.
"Shit!" I thought. "How is this going to go?" I managed to keep my legs semi-together, and I shuffled to the computer like a Geisha girl with little bound feet, but the motion just wasn't natural! I went for the full step behind my desk.
I rested and spoke there for a moment, but it was very uncomfortable, so I knew I had to make my way back in a more welcoming position- the front of the classroom.
I did manage to "penguin" to the nearest desk, where fortunately no one was seated, and I stayed parked, sitting on top of it.
Did anyone see? Was it the peep show they will all whisper about?
All I know, is that one of the creepy, geeky dads stood and clapped when I finished!
Encore!
