ADHD LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!

My morning started out with the rude awakening of my alarm going off. Of course I hit snooze about a million times before I yelled from my bed for Gavin to get up. Now, mind you the whole purpose of me going to part time was for me to get my fat ass out of bed in the morning and get all kinds of stuff done, including making my little prince his breakfast and lunch. It wasn’t long before I was having him get his own breakfast, and buy his hot lunch. I hate mornings.

I am lying in bed and I know that he is progressing at the rate of a slug (really can you blame him?). So I get out of bed, go pee, and then come back to my bedroom for my glasses because I am blind as a bat. I forgot I left my laptop on the floor next to the bed and jammed my toes into the side of it. OOOOOOOWW! Although what I said was “Mother Fucker!” To which Gavin replies, “Mooom!” I say, “Sorry Gav!” Man that hurt! I think my toe is broken, and on the day I have to leave to drive ten, count them TEN hours to Virginia to meet up with my husband and have a vacation. It’s totally throbbing.

We just got pounded with snow. We just got means two days ago. Pounded with snow, means about six inches. Ha ha. I hate snow!! I hate shoveling, I hate hate hate it!! So the prospect of having to clear off the truck I need to drive for this trip is really putting me in a terrible mood. So I clear off enough to see out of the window, and hope gravity will do the rest. I put it in four wheel drive to hurdle the mountain of snow that the plow made at the end of the drive way. Isn’t that what four wheel drive is for? Fuck shoveling.

I drive Gavin the short distance to school, making turns as sharp as possible and stops as short as possible hoping that the inertia will knock all the snow off, no such luck. I think every parent dropping their kid off got a good laugh at my expense this morning, oh well.

I start to pull back into my drive way, I am starting to come to terms with the fact that I am going to have to clear off the car. Then, I decide to give gravity one more shot. I decided to drive to MacDonald’s for breakfast. I do the same thing, driving as jerky as possible to try to knock some snow off. I am sure people thought I was probably drunk, and I am shocked no one called the cops; it was the risk I was willing to take. Fuck snow.

I am preparing to drive out of MacDonald’s, truck still covered in snow, and I get an idea! Car Wash!!!! For a mere eight dollars, I can get out of clearing the snow off the truck!!!!! I pull up to the automated teller, and stick my card in wrong, not once, but three times. Finally I got it; I have a choice between express or deluxe. I figured, I’m only trying to clear snow off, not wash it so express it is!

I drive in, the machine starts up and I can’t believe what an evil, lazy, genius I am and I realize that I am never going to clear any car off again! I will just take it to the car wash! So I am sitting in the car wash and it is literally looking like a real life snow globe in this little box of a car wash. I sat there and munched on my hash brown and breakfast burrito, totally filled with glee because I  took the lazy way out and it worked!! I pull out of the car wash, there are still a couple clumps of snow on the back of the truck but who gives a shit about that? I look around and three people are smiling at me, they know what I have done, and I can tell they are jealous that they had not thought of it first! Ha bitches!!!

 It goes to show you that as someone with ADHD you can totally make it work for you sometimes. I will be taking my adderall before the road trip though so rest assured fellow travelers; I will be in my right frame of mind!!! I can’t wait until it snows again so I can take Gavin to the car wash with me, he would have loved it!
