Dear Santa,
I'd like the rest of the world to be totally OK with procrastination. I'd like us all to be more like the French and Italians- and just "whatever, whenever, capice?"
I just really hate it when I slowly rumble out of bed and people expect things to get done. Like. Now.
It's important that you, and everyone else, understand that I DO NOT FUNCTION until my body has been vertical for a couple hours. Before that- I am just auto-piloting things. Totally. No black box- you won't know what's going on, ever. Don't try to find out. It's like gravity; it just IS.
For example....just so you know things we need to address;
I hate that the school bus insists my child be AT THE BUS STOP when they get there. Dang-it. It's cold. Can't they wait a bit while I watch from the warmth of inside and then tell her to scoot her fanny out, pronto? Plus, she's got the whole procrastination-out-of-bed thing going on now and then too and I don't know that I want to entirely discourage that- as I'm asking for it to be more normal in general, you feel me?
I hate that hubs has to be AT WORK at a particular time. I need that morning time to get him to do some stuff around the house, and let me wake up before he starts asking questions or giving me information I'm supposed to remember later- like the fact he is going to be out for the evening with a meeting, or that I need to remember names, addresses and phone numbers....or things like- my name. I mean, emergencies and disasters aren't kind enough to make appointments with us- can't we expect a little latitude about when he's in his office or not?
I'd really like some of the utility people and, like, the people we make our car payments to, and those annoying insurance people....to just chill out a bit about what day of the month it is...and whether or not I've clicked the little 'pay' button online on a PARTICULAR day or not. I mean, the ebay auction I'm watching is a little more pressing than the sewer service bill, yah know?
I'd like this 'right here, right now' stuff to dwindle out a bit....because I'm really trying to be a more relaxed, non-uptight and less-Virgo-type-A-like-my-mother-uptight-b*tch about things----- except, that is, when I need my husband to do something- then I want it enforced like DUI laws in the Middle East, OK?
TTFN,
Dr. Lurch
