The other day I was in front of Will walking with Sophie and he was behind me carrying Sabs. Sophie and I popped into this bakery to check out what they had and Will hollered that he was going to go into this other store for a minute but i didnt hear him. When Sophie and I came out looking for him and Sabs, we couldn’t find them. I had given him my phone earlier b/c i had too many things in my hand so I couldn’t call him to see where they were. I figured he didnt see us go into the bakery and kept walking straight so i walked a bit to see if he was down the road. When i got far enough to think that there is no way he would have gotten that far, i headed back figuring i missed him. I started thinking ok i’ll ask someone where the vegetarian restaurant is if i cant find him b/c it is next door to our apt. This went on for about 10 minutes and i was looking up and down this road for him with no luck. I knew we were close to the apartment but i couldnt place myself.
In reality i was right in front of the apartment and I walked past the vegetarian restaurant oh i dont know 5 times?!! Finally i saw Will and we discussed how i didnt hear him and how i was starting to plan out how to get back to the apartment if i couldnt find him. He pointed behind me and said you mean this apartment? Yes i was standing in front of our building and had no clue. He was laughing a little and I was pretty discouraged that my sense of direction was so lame that i had no clue i was standing in front of the place we have been staying at the past week.
He tried to reassure me that it is because I usually just follow him and rely on directions b/c I am juggling the kids and that it isnt a big deal. My sense of direction has never been good but this was pretty pathetic and I vowed to myself that i really need to pay more attention in the future.
Speaking of the future, later that evening we were in the kitchen and I had made dinner for the girls. I asked Will to get them silverware to eat and watched him open every single drawer and cabinet in the kitchen until he gave up. I started laughing and said, um do you not know where the silverware is? We have been in this apartment nearly a week and he had no clue where to go and get a spoon. Shortly after I had asked him for a plate and the same thing happened. We both laughed b/c it really is all about team work. I may have no clue how to get back to the apartment and he may have no clue how to get around inside the apartment, but together we make it all happen. xo
