Are We There Yet?


How do you measure how long it will take to get from one place to another when driving in a vehicle?

Some people will use miles, “It’s about 6 miles down the road.”

Some people will use time, “It’ll take you about 10 minutes.”

I prefer to measure in time.  I am actually obsessed with this.  I need to know how long it takes to get anywhere I need to go, mostly because I need to make sure I have the kids in the car and out the door in order to be on time.

Whenever I leave somewhere I check out the clock to note the time and then drive to my destination.  When I check the time upon arrival I’m pissed because I’ve forgot my beginning time.  EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!  This has been going on for years. 

I know, I know, get a piece of paper and a pen and write it down.

So that’s what I did yesterday.  You know what happened?  When I arrived at my destination I remembered, for the first time ever, my departure time.  That sucks. 

I really feel robbed. 

I had a problem, I thought of a solution, I used the solution, then I didn’t need the solution.
