Please laugh with me (not AT)
As I share my morning adventure with you
Ok…so
Suffice to say…
I have a slight problem with punctuality
(allright…a very bad problem! !)
It isn’t that I intend on being late..
It’s just that I’m easily distracted
And before I know it…
LOOK AT THE TIME! ! !
So this morning…
Well…I was fartin’ around as usual…
Sleep later…morning coffee…check emails…
All that stuff and a few other things
Which we need not get into here!
Now…
I know I have a deadline…
Gotta pick up small boy from the bus
10: 50 sharp!
I know this…
And with all my heart
I will be there…
Come hell or high water!
I couldn’t bare to think of his confused little face
If one day I didn’t show up on time
So…
What possessed me…
At 10: 33…
To think that I had time to squeeze in…
A shower? ? ! !
Well…
At least I know now…
It is indeed possible
For me to take a 5 minute shower!
It’s all the other stuff
That chews up time!
So, as I hop out of the shower
I think to myself…
What part of my routine…
Can I skip?
Drying off?
Nope…absolutely necessary…
Unless I intend to become a human posicle (again)
Combing hair?
Not recommended…
Unless I want to scare the living daylights
Out of my neighbours!
Drying hair?
Hmmm…
-16 degrees celcius!
Hahaha! ! !
It’ll be my penance
For procrastinating!
Are there articles of clothing…
That I can get away without wearing?
Ummm…
No!
See the first two reasons above…
Too cold…and I don’t want to scare my neighbours!
Now 10: 45….
AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH! ! !
Hair quickly combed…
Skip brushing teeth…
Throw on clothes while running to front door…
(don’t laugh! ! ! It can be done!)
Socks? yes or no? ?
Better put em on…
Can’t stand cold feet!
Pants zipped?
Yes…thank goodness!
Boots…coat…scarfe…gloves…hat! !
Hat!
Hahahahaha! ! !
Throw ’em on quickly…
Times a tickin!
10: 48!
Out the door…
run like mad!
Whew! !
Just in time…
I see that big yellow monster coming down the street…
And…sigh…there he is!
All smiles and happy to see me!
: -)
As he gets off the bus and we greet each other…
He looks at me oddly…
Then gently reaches up toward me face…
‘Mommy? ?
Why is your hair frozen? ? ‘
‘Let’s just get home buddy…
Before my eyelashes stick together too! ‘
Now I know how frozen fishsticks feel!
