Well it is Friday and I'm excited, I love my classes today, tomorrow is Saturday, it wasn't hard to get up, my plans are done, I'm prepared, clothes are ironed, I'm rested, etc... The alarm goes off to Kiss' "Beth" this morning, which no doubt meant there was no more snooze happening. I mean, who can not listen to Beth when it comes on the radio? Especially first thing in the morning or very late at night after drinks and fun?
So, I happily grab Uppy out from under Tommy and tickle her belly for a bit, then throw her on the porch for a morning tinkle. I walk to the bathroom to get ready.
Then begins the decline of my morning ...I totally forgot I was out of shampoo, so I scramble for the box of complimetaries that I consistently stock up on from hotels. I really do it for the girls swim bags, not because I'm a clepto or anything, they are freebies, right? Calling down for more is ok, right? I find two bottles finally, curiously, the conditioner bottle said "moist" sooo...I think condition, alrighty then...WRONG!!! It was lotion. Dang it. So back under cabinet for one that SAYS conditioner...wash hair again, condition it, now I'm running behind. Tommy has made coffee and while I'm fixing it we end up in deep conversation about the well-being of eldest daughter-really? Now? Oh God!! Then I go to blow dry hair, no heating coils!! Crap! I knew that, but I forgot since yesterday morning when I was getting ready. Just like when I was using the rest of my shampoo and just like when my gas light came on in my car on my way home yesterday afternoon, darn it, no gas either!! OK, so I go to the girls' bathroom and Tommy and I finish our conversation about the welfare of our child and also shore up dinner and movie plans, I can still make it out the door-whew!! Running out at 6:56AM, I put my things inside the car, fresh coffee, NO KEYS!! Where are they? They were here, I put them here, I did. I made sure I did because they don't need to go inside the house!! My work badge is on there!! I lose that!!That's why it stays in the car!!! Now, I've lost my keys and my work badge and it's 7:05! No!! I search the car, Tommy's car, run inside search bedroom, kitchen, living room, office, cars again, the house again, my bags, all of it again in a vicious circle as Tommy's dressing to drive me in. All of a sudden as if by magic...one last check through my teacher bag reveals the keys to unlock my road to tardy perdition, it is 7:12, I am due at work in 3 minutes. Rats!! As I start my car and back out of the driveway, the fuel light blares at me...
