You know, the time of year when you go from waving pedestrians across the street with a friendly smile, to wanting to break their legs with the front bumper of your car?
Harsh, much? I know, I know. It is. But it happens to me every year - usually not this early. You go from doing your regular errands, to flicking people off in Target parking lots. Holiday shopping is in full force, and it's already starting to stress me out.
The difference is that this year, I am going to have a little buddy in the backseat who not only is fully conscious of what's going on, but has turned into a little parrot. For example, while attempting to buy bath towels at Bed Bath and Beyond (which by the way, who DOES during holiday shopping?) I found myself whisper yelling, "WALK you IDIOT." Upon which I heard a resounding, "WALK 'IT'!"from the back seat.
It's time to chill. While the "ITS" of the world are out like crazy people shopping in NOVEMBER (idiots), I need to remember to relax. Take a sip of your coffee, put on a fake smile, and relax. As Houston's baby yoga DVD says, "Namaste."The madness has begun, but it doesn't have to be mine... until December 20.
May you all find your own "namaste" this holiday season. The "IT" attitude can be contagious (even for babies).
