Home Alone...the movie

This might be one of my favorite 'sort-of' Christmas movies- my family was almost always running on the late side and seeming to forget something on the way out the door. I was the girl that was about 10 minutes late EVERYDAY to school and got the nickname of Rooster because of it. I was that girl who's parents were always running about 10 minutes late to pick me up from practice, so I started telling them it ended 15 earlier then it did! I was the girl who has a mother that thought(thinks) that when it says party starts @ 5:00 she leaves the house @ 4:59. You get the point. Well...luckily I married Nathan who's motto growing up was....
To be early is to be on time,
To be on time is to be late and
To be late is to be forgotten!

When we first started dating and I learned of this crazy motto- I tried VERY hard to be early. Then we got married and I tried VERY hard to be on time. Well, now... I just friggin try and get there! haha
However, I must say that MUCH to his disliking I think my tardiness is wearing off on him!!!

This weekend we were to be at a friend of his wedding at 3:00(at least that is what time WE thought we needed to be there). To make a long story short we realized at 12:30 that we needed to be there @ 2:00- not 3, it was an hour and 20 minutes away AND neither of us were ready let alone had even showered!!
 This house was like Home Alone! I jumped in the shower, found something to wear only to have the button pop on on my shirt, couldn't find my purse, took my make-up to put on in the car, and forgot the address to the church on the counter! Nathan drove (I closed my eyes so I had no idea how fast he was going in case we got stopped by the cops and he asked) and we made it to the wedding @ 2:04. Only to walk in to the bride getting ready to walk down the aisle. She insisted that we go....so as they opened the doors and everyone expected to see the bride to their surprise it was THE TAULMANS!!!  talk about embarrassing! Ok so after Saturday we talked about REALLY trying to be 'on time' the rest of the week.

 Crap.... that didn't happen either! We were late for church on Sunday and today we woke up @ 7:15 when I am supposed to be at school @ 7:40. Nathan said...'well you better hustle', as I was jumping out of bed.  I got in the shower and all I could do was laugh. I really couldn't believe it. All I can say is thank goodness I am a PE teacher! I threw on an Adidas sweat outfit and a pulled my hair into a ponytail and ran out the door. I made it @ 7:42. Not bad considering I got stopped at all 6 stoplights on the drive there!

 I think I need to ask Santa for a new alarm clock!
