Keeping up with time
Many of us struggle with keeping up with time. Scheduling events is not easy, but thanks to Google calendar which has made it a little easier. Anyways, here I will report two independent events where we were totally out of sense of time.
When is the party exactly?!
When we arrived at a birthday party, the host/birthday boy was roaming in his pajama trying to figure out what to order for dinner. There were two possibilities, one that the time of the party was changed or we arrived on a wrong day. But no, we were right on time. 6 pm sharp as requested in the invite. The other guests arrived 1.5 hours late. It didn’t make any sense! My question to everyone was should I call the night before for the reporting time instead of the invitation time 🙂
Sorry we are late to the party..
We got up at an acceptable time (7am when you have a baby) on one fine Saturday. I checked my calendar and saw two appointments, first not-so-fun at Toyota service center for a regular check-up of my car and and second fun one for a birthday party at a park. Both the appointment were placed at a comfortable interval and we could make it to the 11:30am party after my trip to the car service center. Everything was going great. We finished at the service center at 11:10 am and decided to go to the party directly. But the baby had her own plans. She didn’t wanna sit in the car. There was a huge drama to put her in the car. When she did, we started driving. We had just pulled out of the service center when the meltdown began. We stopped the car in one of the side streets to pacify her. We paced around her till 1pm (yup 2 hours!) to convince her to go back to the car. Finally, we drive to the birthday party and it was 1:30pm when they had already started packing up. We tried explaining the whole incident to the hosts and they were so understanding 🙂 What is most important in a birthday party is cake which we luckily got to eat!
