Libby and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week

My week has felt pretty much just like the much beloved children's book. Not bad as in "my dog died, and I used sour milk in my cereal." But bad as in "I'm just not quite myself." Let me explain.

On Friday, I woke up with a very sore throat. This sore throat traveled north into the sinuses and has resulted in the use of two entire tissue boxes.

On Saturday, I arrived at the beach to realize that I had forgotten MANY things:
1. Isabel's sunglasses
2. My strapless bra that would go with 3 tank tops.
3. My white cami that would go with my OTHER 2 tops (read: No shirts to wear!)
4. My razor.
5. My contact case.

On Sunday, I went into my HOT car and found my favorite tub of lip gloss...melted all over the place.

On Monday, well, Monday was an OK day!

On Tuesday, I drove home from vacation, only to realize that I had forgotten MANY things:
1. My bathing suits
2. Isabel's bathing suit
3. One cantaloupe, a box of granola bars, and food containers
4. One green towel, one white towel, one washcloth, and one pink pouf

On Wednesday, I had another OK day.

On Thursday, I drove past my exit because I just had to tell Kristin something that I had forgotten to tell her just seconds earlier. I then had to drive 10 miles out of my way to hit the next exit and turn around.

On Thursday, I also managed to buy a box of crackers that I didn't really want for a measly $4.99!!!!!! While browsing the cracker aisle, I saw a new type of cracker with a "Try me for free" rebate sticker on it. All that was required was an original receipt and the rebate form. "No problem," you might be thinking. However, in the self-check out line, I ran into Erika. We chatted while I checked out. I left. Once I was home, I went to fill out the form and realized I had forgotten to grab my receipt. Lovely.

It truly was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week...at least for my organized, generally put together brain. I think I'll move to Australia. Or go make a list.

Okay Lib... Some good things... you were able to go to the beach :-) You have the $$ to buy more lipgloss. Your car is running well enough to drive 10 miles out of your way... The crackers weren't a life-time commitment, only a one-time goof. Just a gentle reminder from Momma O that you are blessed and I am praying every day for you, Isabel and Miguel!!

BTW, if it makes you feel better, on the rough day I wrote about on my blog, I even messed up making Jello! How do you do that? Put too much water in it. Never set up. So much for the boys' sweet treat! :)

Oh...I was groaning with you with each of those. (And wondering too if you might be expecting. LOL.)

I told Pete last night as we were in the car and I was in tears, "I think I got an "F" in Parenting today. And like the dear hubby that he is he helped me direct my eyes upward.

Praying that the mercies that are new every morning will be especially evident to you this next week...and that you remember where you put your list. :o)

Oh girl..we all have those weeks, at least I do and for me it's only become more frequent since having children. I have those weeks even WITH lists. :)

Aw Lib...I'm so sorry :( Sounds like a stressful week for sure!

"Pregnant?" was alao my firat thought. Absent-mindedness was eXtra common w/ me for each of those 9 month terms. And you gave me chuckle (which I hope you gave yourself in hindsight). Just think: some people live their whole lives in that state:). Blessings to you for a more put-together week.

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For quite a long time, I make money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my blog to get additional info.

I'm the kind of guy who enjoys to try fresh stuff. Currently I am making my personalized solar panels. I'm making it all by myself without the help of my staff. I am using the net as the only path to acheive that. I discovered a truly amazing website that explains how to build photovoltaic panels and so on. The web site explains all the steps required to solar panel construction.

I'm not sure about how correct the info given there iz. If some experts over here who have xp with these things can have a see and give your feedback in the site it will be awesome and I would highly appreciate it, because I really lav solar panel construction.

Tnx for reading this. U guys are the best.
