Have you ever rolled over in bed from a great night of lovemaking and a really great night's sleep and look up on a Tuesday morning and see beautiful sunlight then you reach over grab your phone and realize that its about to go down because you didn't hear the stupid alarm and have to go to work ...
ME IN MY HEAD : oh my gosh I'm so late ,late,late and so late.... I fly out of bed...I'm telling myself I brush my teeth and wash my face I have to take a bath o yeah warm up the car and I've gotta fight through traffic 40 minute drive unless I can drive like a bat out if hell maybe i can shimmy it down to about 20/ 25 minutes
ME : O my gosh I am so so so so freaking late oh crap what am I wearing today im will probably wear my plum color dress, some tights, and my favorite plum color booties with the heel ...where is my other shoe are you kidding me okay never mind I will find it when I get out of the shower still can't find my shoe now I'm getting angry I begin to tear my whole dressing room up ...I found it 3 hours of cleaning for one shoe...I don't care I will clean it later ... okay grab all your stuff time to go ...I get in the car 40 degree weather this is another 10 min waisted ...as I waiting my husband calls how's your morning going baby ....Im late letting the car warm up look down and realize I'm running on fumes at this point I forgot to fill the tank up before I came home last night crap ...then I hear my husband say he thinks our son left his lunch on the table in the house.
ME IN MY HEAD :here we go another 10 mins added I have to go back grab his lunch go up the street to the school.
Finally my son comes to the office i give him his lunch and kiss him dash out the school doors stop at the gas station and jump on the expressway ....now its Mario Cart time ,zooming through lanes , blowing horns, and swearing its now 8:25 have to be at work at 9:00 I have 2 interns that will arrive at 9:30 and a 10:00 meeting crap... blowing my horn and screaming hurry up people hurry up...now by this point I've gotten off the expressway ....I need to turn in this lane but the person keeps speeding up and won't let me over ...are you kidding me I began to blow the horn constantly you can just envision all the swear words I was putting to together at this moment so finally I rolled down my window I'm going to give this person a piece of my mind I'm upset now all I want to do is get over before I miss the turn ... I begin to cuss the person in their newer model buick out but they never rolled their window down the car behind them sees my struggle and let's me over we make the turn i get over in the next available lane but here's a red light I realize at this point we're both sitting at the light the person rolls there window down and is moving and shaking there head back and forth like they want to word fight...oh yeah its on ... I've had a really stressful morning too...as I'm rolling my window she is cussing up a storm ....
ME IN MY HEAD : its getting ready to be on ...
But when I look over as I fixin my lips for the unkind words I'm getting ready to say I realize she is a lil frail lady with salt and pepper hair maybe pushing on about 71 years of age ...im so shocked at this point I allow the old lady to cuss me out,speed off and leave me eating her dust at the light ! I'm begin to laugh so hard and kept laughing all day off the embarrassing thought that I was getting ready to get in the ring with an elder over something that had already happen "TIME" ! ! ! Life is too short to worry so much learn from your mistakes and look forward to happy things for the rest of the day !
