Slow and Unfit

I'm not even talking about my physique, which, really, the title of this post could describe as well.

I went to Wal-Mart today. Horror of horrors, I know, but it's really convenient to me. Mr. Monkey has been so sick lately. He called me at work, and, in a very feeble voice, requested sugar-free cough drops. I was on a mission of goodwill.

With two different bags of Ricola in hand (variety is the spice of life), I left the store and started walking in the hot summer sun to my car.

Or so I thought.

I couldn't find my damn car!

After pacing up and down several aisles, exasperated, I said quite loudly, "Where the fuck is my car?!"

A mother with two young children glared at me.

Finally, I spied my ugly beat-up purple clunker in the distance.

And this is why I'm slow (read: dumb) and unfit (read: not mother material).

  1. I've spent at least 20 minutes in the CSULB parking lot with my clicker held high above my head, stretching any hearing capabilities I have as I click my car to hear where it is coming from. I have been there. I feel for you.

  3. I vowed never to go to the Century City Mall parking lot after losing my car and walking around that damn underground dungeon for 50 minutes. I finally gave up and called Mr. Insomniac to come get me and take me home and we went back to get my car at 1am.

  6. I once spent 2 hours wandering around the campus parking lot looking for my car. It was my first day of school there. Ever since then I have written the row I'm parked in on my hand so that never happens again.

  9. I say shit like that around my kid all the time. Then I catch myself and realize I probably shouldn't. *sigh* My kid's first word is going to be fuck. No doubt.

    But as someone still suffering from a cold, I appreciate your willingness to get your husband the specific coughdrops he wanted.
