What a day!

Okay so I admit, I’m a HORRIBLE blogger….I only blog when I have cute kids with me or if we do something exciting. Well my friends that is about to change! Even if no one else reads this blog at least I will have something to look back on and remember all the times not just the expensive or super exciting times. So you read if you want, comment if you’d like and enjoy if you must!
I have a bad habit that formed as soon as I met my one true love….I’m late for everything! I swear before I met him I was obnoxiously early for everything. It all started when I was working at Target with him and I’d stay up until 4 in the morning talking to him and then had to be to work at 8…normally 8:15 which is not good when you are the operator who answers all the phone calls, passes out the walkie talkies and runs the dressing room. It continued on our wedding day when I was rushed into the brides room and several nice old ladies said there you are! You are so late! Then on our honeymoon…we slept through our alarm to go catch our flight and ended up missing it and spent our first full day as a married couple wandering around the gateway and taking buses and cabs since my parents had already come to the airport and picked up our car. I would love to say that I am always waiting on Luke and that is why I am always late now, but I’m afraid after 5 years his habits have slowly warn on to me. It would probably be better if at least some of my habits of being ridiculously on time would have stuck or even worn off on him….but no such luck. Anywho! This does have a meaning….this now brings us to this morning. So during the school year I had to either drive Luke to either the downtown trax station or to the U for his classes before work. Meaning that I would need to leave by 6:45 to give myself plenty of time to get to work without worrying…fat chance we were lucky if we left by 7. So I normally was late for work which isn’t a huge deal it just means I get off later but I really like getting off at 4 because then I beat the traffic and get home at a decent time. So I was really excited when school got out and I didn’t have to do this anymore thinking well if I leave by 7 that will give me plenty of time to get to work….well folk’s fat chance. Now we’re lucky if we leave the house by 7:15 which normally makes me 5 to 10 minutes late. All day yesterday I was telling the drivers at work about the 7:30 meeting that we were going to have today and not to forget! So, this morning I got out of the house by 7:20 deciding that I would just have to work later today…halfway to work I realized that I had the stupid meeting! So I stepped up the gas and as soon as I did what did I see? A COP!!!! What’s worse than seeing a cop when you’re speeding? Seeing a cop put his car into drive and start to pull out as you pass by him…I was doomed. I thought to myself, great now I’m really going to be late! But, what’s this? He puts on his blinker instead of his lights and goes all the way over to the far left lane and pulls someone over in the carpool lane! So, what would have in fact ruined my day and made me ornery all day instead made my day and made me decide never to speed again! (Maybe) The best solution would be to just drag my butt out of bed and actually get ready on time, what an idea!
