Sunday morning after church, I change out of church clothes into sweats and sneakers and then start organizing some of the stuff I had unpacked the night before. I walk around the bed and there on the carpet is a giant dirty spot. Where did that come from?! It wasn't there this morning and it wasn't there when I was changing . . . no dogs came in to visit . . . how did that dirty spot get there?!
Hmmmm, so I've gotten much better about taking my outdoor shoes off at the door (no more reverse footprints). But apparently, I took off my sneakers at the door after wearing them outside (before winter break) and then carefully carried them upstairs and put them in my room. Now, 10 days later, the mud has dried and there's just a lot of dirt on the bottom of those sneakers and guess what happens when you walk around on the carpet with dirty shoes? It would have been another case of reverse footprints or "suddenly appearing" footprints except I apparently walked in circles so it was just a big blur of dirt.
Now, do I have this straight. Outdoor shoes really are just for wearing outdoors and indoor shoes are for indoors and the reason you carry your indoor shoes with you is to change into them when you get there. But then you have to remember to change out of them when you leave and put your outdoor shoes back on. Eeegads, who would've guessed the hardest part about a winter wardrobe would've been the shoes?
