Frozen Fishsticks !
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 !
