Normally I work outside the home about three days each week.
The other two days are spent working, but also catching up on all the household
crap that needs to be kept track of. And taking deep breaths.
Today I lost my shit because I forgot to take my child to
his regular gymnastics session last night.
And I only realised when his dad told me about it at 11.30am
today. Thank god he did. Otherwise I’m likely to have woken up at 3am Sunday
morning in a cold sweat of bad parenting terror yelling “FFS we didn’t take The
Child to gymnastics!”
We could all do without that.
There have been other signs this week that things are
getting on top of me.
Earlier in the week I spent an evening wondering where the
roll of kitchen paper went. I KNEW I had some. I’d just been using it.
The next day I found it in the cupboard. Next to the
saucepans. Why hadn’t I thought to look there? Because I never keep it in the
cupboard. It’s always on the bench or in the pantry. I’d had it in my hand and
put it in there while getting something else out.
I am seriously an idiot domestically challenged this
week.
Several times this week I’ve been on the phone, and been gripped
by a sudden need to check my calendar or make notes. I need my phone for this.
Panic has wrapped its frigid fingers around my thumping heart. Shit! Where’s my
phone? Oh god I’ve lost my phone!
Yes. That phone. THE ONE THAT I’M USING TO TALK TO SOMEONE.
WHILE LOSING MY SHIT ABOUT HAVING LOST MY PHONE.
Last night I put my wine glass down and couldn’t remember
where I’d put it.
I am an idiot clearly not coping this week.
So today I Lost My Shit. On the inside. Quietly.
Has anyone seen my phone?
