Quick vent. Well, not that quick. So - my morning wasn't quite as bad as Sarah's day yesterday, but I'm so frustrated that my stupid BRAIN doesn't WORK when I need it to. Grrrrr ... ARUGHHHHHH.
So here's the scoop. Yesterday, I looked at my calendar on where to bring my kids today for daycare (we have a mix of my in-laws, a nanny, and an in-home daycare--I work 20-25 hours per week). It showed to bring them to our in-home daycare. I texted the in-home provider yesterday to double check and she didn't text me back. I thought that was kinda weird but shrugged it off as, maybe she lost her phone or it died or whatever. This morning I texted her again, didn't hear back. Get the kids in the car and thought about backup plans in case there was no one there. Get there, and sure enough--lights are off, no one is there. So I'm frantically calling my in-laws and trying to figure out what to do, should I take my kids with me to the office, etc. And THAT is when I remember. HELLO!! That my daycare provider told me they were on vacation this week. She even volunteered to drive back from their cabin up north to watch my kids today and I TOLD HER specifically, "No, don't worry about it, I'll figure out something else" and then I promptly forgot about the conversation!! AURGHH. What is wrong with my scattered mommy brain?!?!? Why couldn't I have remembered that conversation yesterday? Or better yet, like a week ago??
So I was totally stressed out and I'm just now starting to calm down and get over my brain fart. But it SUCKS when that happens. AUGH. The good news is I'll be darn sure to double and triple check future daycare schedules, but still. I'm just ticked at myself for the whole thing. I'm lucky that my FIL is home and able to jump in last minute and help out. Without him I'd be HOSED.
I guess it's a good reminder that I really need to get my act together, be more disciplined and WRITE things down for goodness sake. But I'm still just frustrated with myself. Grrrrr ....

So sorry you are having one of those days! I used to be able to keep everything in my head all the time and never got things mixed up....now I have DS, work full time and go to school. My house is a mess and I never remember anything!
Sorry you had such a rough start to the day....thank goodness for your FIL!

I'm blaming it on the heat (which is my excuse for everything lately lol.. that and being preggo)... sorry that happened... I woulda freaked a little too.. it's always nice when you have someone that you can consistently depend on in situations like this!! Sometimes I take ours for granted! writing things down like that helps, just remember to write all the stuff down in the same place so you don't have a million papers all over lol I hope your weekend goes smoothly!  |

I've started keeping 2 notebooks in my purse. one for work things and one for personal things....that helps otherwise the post it paper trail gets out of hand!
I also set calendar reminders on my phone for things, even sometimes remembering milk on the way home from work.
