OMG I FORGOT

A brief excuse

Dear Readers,

I took a NyQuil last night.

I took a NyQuil last night and didn’t notice when I plugged in my phone that it wasn’t actually charging.

I took a NyQuil last night so when I woke up this morning and my alarm hadn’t rung and the sun was streaming through the windows I was disoriented.

I took a NyQuil last night so I was slightly hysterical when I looked at my dead phone and couldn’t tell what time it was so I rushed into my son’s room and woke him up and made him tell me it was 7:45 and since I have to be at school no later than 7:55 we were VERY LATE.

This NyQuil and Lateness fueled hysteria bled into my phone calls with my husband: “NO DON’T COME HOME PLEASE CALL THE SCHOOL PLEASE CALL THE SCHOOL RIGHT NOW” and our saint of a school secretary when I got a smidgen of battery power: “MY ALARM DIDN’T GO OFF AMANDA OH MY GOSH CAN SOMEBODY BE IN MY ROOM THERE’S A READ ALOUD BOOK ON MY DESK I WAS GOING TO READ” before she calmed me down with a, “We’ll have someone cover until you get here,” in the sweetest, most soothing voice.

All I can say is, the third week of school plus a cold has me disoriented and discombobulated and now, disgruntled.

Please forgive me, I’ll get it together next week. Probably.

Thanks for reading.

Love, Susie
