Weekend Madness
Running around isn't easy especially when you need to get things done asap, what makes it even worse is when it happens over a weekend like a Saturday for example. Well in my mind I tried to figure out what is best not to do on such a day, if you can help it. Even I have had days like these.
Waking up early on a Saturday morning is not that important. Yes it is.
What not to do: Don't snooze the alarm clock or break it with a shoe.
I need my farmhouse breakfast first. The shops won't be that busy, have you ever been surprised by this?
What not to do: Read the paper, go for seconds, have some more tea/coffee and take your time.
Now you are late and need to get to the mall to do the shopping, grooming and all the other stuff that needs to get done.
What not to do: Think Sandra Bullock and the Bus in Speed, do not do that.
Arrive at your destination and guess what, no parking.
What not to do: Don't park leaving your emergency lights on just for a quick run into the shop. Avoid the parking for the disabled unless you have some backup gear.
Shop A does not have what you are looking for, neither has shop B, maybe shop C will have it? Nope, no such luck.
What not to do: Do not get upset, throw things or scream and shout because of frustration. Chew gum, it works.
People are walking to slow for your liking.
What not to do: Don't injure them with your shopping cart even though it gets rid of some frustration.
Long Queues.
What not to do: Applaud like a spectator when another person in front of you is done paying for their goods.
No clothing in your size.
What not to do: Run around to every clothing store because you just have to find something, it is addictive when you want something you can't get and you most probably won't realize the time flying by.
Get Bad Service.
What not to do: Do not slap or spit on the person, chew gum, it works.
Give up.
What not to do: Don't go watch a movie try and pull through, chew gum it works.
Stuck in traffic.
What not to do: Climb out shouting at the people in front to get moving. Stay in your car, your car horn works just fine.
In the end you will get home, you will get to put your feet up, have a drink and relax before you realize your guests are arriving in an hours time and nothing is done.
But hey don't panic, just stay calm, oh and chew gum, it works!
:)))))))))
