Scattered

1 Day, 13 hours and some change

I have a ton to get done

Laundry for the little one -- I don't have enough clothes in her current size for colder weather -- I need to do some shopping (oh - Teeeeexxxxx....?) so I'll be laundering everything tonight to pack her back the next day

and this morning - she woke up at the crack of dawn -- so I got up and took her to daycare bright and early

except

I wasn't supposed to

I was supposed to keep her here for the agency visit

So I'm home -- tidying up -- some things (like wood glue out for my project) are verboten - and have to be locked up

I was exhausted last night and asked permission to just go to sleep

I felt fine
just worn out

today is my late day at work - so I'll dry my hair in a few minutes and go back to get the baby to bring her home for the visit so I can take her back to daycare again

and dinner with the parents tonight

I never forget these things

I just don't

but here I am
scrambling

because my mind is clearly elsewhere

I guess my facade of being cool, calm and collected isn't being bought any more since Tex asked me if I was running around like a chicken with her head cut off

poor chicken
she dies at the end of that story you know

but we all know - it will come together
and this time tomorrow I will be nearly ready to go
packed
smiling
and waiting for my 1/2 day at work to wrap up.

NOT a dead chicken at all.
