As you can see, I've made lots of progress on my "profanity problem".
Here is a list of all of the things that I have forgotten lately, telling more and more people all over town, that I do, in fact, not have my s*** together:
Notes to school telling the teachers that someone is coming home with us or one of my kids is going somewhere. Three times in the past two weeks School Secretary has had to call me to see if I had forgotten a note. "Mrs. K, this is school secretary. Valerie has a note here that Trisha is supposed to come home with her." "Oh, yeah. Ha, ha, I forgot my note again, sorry." Big long sigh from school secretary.
Then, I got two collection notices today on medical bills. You know it's not that we don't have the money. We have plenty of money (by plenty, I mean NOT plenty). I just can't ever remember to pay the darn things.
Similarly, Ryan has a -$8.75 balance on his lunch card. Again, it's not that we don't have the money. It's that I don't have any checks. I keep forgetting to order them.
I've no-showed to 2, count them, 2 doctors appointments recently.
I totally skipped a therapy appointment. Jaden's physical therapy that is, not psycho-therapy for me, although, sure thanks, I'll take some.
Library books. These suckers were due in July. Nice. At least I know that I am personally building a wing of the new community library with my overdue fees.
I keep forgetting to buy dishwashing soap. I've been to the store four times for it. I buy lots of other things, but I still don't have the dishwasher soap. Side note: the huge piles of bubbles on my floor tells me that it is not a good idea to substitute liquid hand soap for dishwashing soap.
I'm sure there are more, but I can't remember what they are!
All of this irresponsibility is frustrating. ROb says I just have too many balls in the air. Yeah, well, that's what she said.

Oh, girl. Friend. Have been there. The no-checks thing? I was waiting to pay Maggie's school tuition until a client paid me. They did, so I went to write the check (like a day late, but whatever). To discover? We had NO CHECKS. Paul has used the last one and not told me. I had to go into school and shamefacedly explain the the director why we were not paying them and would not be for 3-5 business days (rush shipping). Oy.
I have also forgotten to buy some essential household thing like five times in a row.
And I have 1.5 children and the only one who is out of the womb and needing things is almost 3, not a baby like Hayleigh. So I think you have an excuse :-).
Remember my big signs in college so I didn't miss any (more) tests? Now I have a planner. BUt same concept.
