Oops! I forgot!

I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. Today I was kind of a mess. This morning I went to the kids' school to volunteer, as usual, and completely forgot that I was supposed to do other volunteer work before leaving. CRAP!

I was supposed to put all of the laundry away, because it is sitting in baskets all folded up, but then I went to clean the dishes and I forgot to come back to the laundry. FAIL!

I was supposed to sweep the floors (again) because the dogs are mud tracking scum suckers of late - I mean that literally with Tini. He sucks up muddy scum in the back yard and gets it all over his beard - it's creepy. But then I made play dough for Ro's class instead.

I forgot that the play dough for Ro's class was due Wednesday the 20th NOT Thursday the 21st, as I had thought. I didn't make it last night, because I was thinking I could make it with Ro today after school. Thankfully the teacher didn't do the project today, they are doing it tomorrow when he will be bringing in the two batches of play dough I made a day late, because I forgot.

I was already feeling shitty about myself BEFORE this day started, it's a long story but involves others reminding me the immense degree to which I am capable of continually sucking at life. I really didn't need to be reminded that I'm incapable of doing anything of any value.

Yet somehow, I don't care. Life will go on. Who cares if I sometimes fail hugely at the simplest life anyone could ever possibly lead. Somehow, despite the lack of sleep and crappy immense fails in so many simple ways, I have energy to burn at the gym. Yes, I should probably be making dinner instead, but who cares? Dinner will be late, as it was yesterday. If they don't like it, let the people revolt!
