Funny story about this little blue chair...

About 8 months ago, I was at the dealership getting an oil change for my van (LOVE my minivan, I don’t care what people say…Minivans rock...I digress). My kids and I were sitting in the children's part of the waiting area. We were watching cartons and coloring.  They said it would take about an hour.  No big deal.  I’m a mom, I know how to pack a diaper bag full of entertainment and snacks to try to hold off the toddler melt downs for at least an hour. 

After about 45 minutes, I was starting to lose them.  The kids were getting bored.  They wanted to go.  I was doing my best to keep up the entertainment, but I was definitely running out of ideas and staring at the clock.

"Ms. Gossett, you're van is ready." Yes! It was starting to get hairy trying to entertain these kiddos. In my excitement I stood up quickly out of one of these blue chairs...only the chair came with me. I had a terribly embarrassing moment of prying the chair off of my tush and putting it back on the floor.

I. was. MORTIFIED!

My face was a shade somewhere between cherry and fire engine. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I was tired from entertaining, and my pride was trampled under that silly blue chair.

Fast forward 8 months, I have a slow leak in one of my tires that needs fixed, so I find myself back at the dealership.  I drive through a construction site to and from dropping my son at school, so it was only a matter of time before I would have to show my face in the dealership again...with the same little blue chairs. Except this time, I have been eating healthy and exercising.  I have given up the drive thru for clean eating, Shakeology and 30 minute home work outs.  I still hesitate before I sit in that little blue chair, slightly scarred from my last experience. But sitting on the ground in a public place is just gross, I mean really gross, so I take a deep breath, swallow my pride and sit in that blue chair.  I find that not only do I FIT in that little blue chair, but I have some room to spare!!! Woohoo! 

Can’t wait for my next flat tire…Just kidding! ;)
