Being that I have now bought 4 Christmas Gift I surly have the time. Why have I not been on the ball this year??? I could blame it on the trip to Florida. Or I could blame it on the busy life we have...pictures on the weekend and First Calgary in the evening.
The really reason....is that I am enjoying the season. I would rather spend time with my family than in the crazy mall. Last time I went I ended up telling off an old man in the underground parking lot at market mall. I feel it was justifiable. I planed my trip out very carefully. As it was just me a the 2 monkeys. So I brought the smallest stroller...left the jackets at home and packed my bag with snacks.
So, it was important that I park underground...to keep the kids warm. and the lot was full. So I joint the circling herd of cars, waiting, watching, hoping that the next spot would be mine. after about 5 circles I caught a break...I thought. A nice spot just by the door, I put on my signal and parked my car waiting for the mother to leave. I rolled down my window and made small talk, as she folded up her double stroller and stuffed in her loot.
Just as she finished packing up a old man (mid 60's) pulled up on the other side and put on his blinker. I began what I thought was a clear pantomime of ....oh no you don't this is my spot. the nice lady even got out of her car and when over the this fellow and told him I had been waiting for the spot.
In order for her to pull out I had to back up and she back my diction...and you guesses it....the jerk rolled right in. That was it....I pulled up right be hind him got out to tell him my sap story. To remind him that it was hard to be me and easy to be him (ok there other word use, none of them foul, all of them condescending). So he gave me a nod a through his car in revers. I jumped back in my car and pull a u turn so I could get in. and in that time...wait for it....yep he rolled his car back in got out his car and hurried in the mall.
Talk about Christmas Spirit hey? I drove around the lot about 2 more times and eventually found a spot. But as you can tell I am still mift.
So I ask my self again....why don't I want to go out the malls??? Right I like my family better that Grumpy Old Men.
So now come the hard part... Blogging again...and buying all of Christmas in less than 3 weeks. Wish me luck...I am going to need it.
