OOPS!


So lately I can not remember anything to save my life! It seems like I am constantly a step behind and being reminded all the time of things I have forgot. This has been going on for about 6 months and I am seriously going out of my mind. Everyone says it is because I have too much on my plate right now. I am not convinced, because I always have alot on my plate. Anyway last Thursday night I accidently left the water on next to the window well to my preschool room. Well Terry found the lake on the side of our house at 6:30 the next morning and woke me up. Well needless to say when he left for work I was in tears and then I spent the next 3 days an emotional reck and cleaning the basement. While Terry spent the next few days tearing up the grass and fixing the outside damage. When Terry came home at 12:00 to help, he had flowers for me because he knew how hard I was being on myself. Oh man can I just tell you when things happen like this it just kills me. I don't think to myself "oh well accidents happen, lets just clean it up and forget about it" no I get really hard on myself and frustrated. Well thanks Terry for being as good as expected in such a situation. Now that it is all cleaned up and fixed I can look back and try to learn from my mistakes but during a small crisis like that it is just no fun at all. So learn from my mistake and turn off the hose when you are finished watering your flower beds. That is just a little advise from me to you. Not that any of you would forget a silly thing like that. I did have the carpet dry and the room put back together in time for preschool on Monday morning. But it was a close call!

So sorry that happened.. That is a horrible feeling. It sure helps to have a husband like Terry!

You have no idea how many times I've done that myself! And for some odd reason....it's never gotten into the house! If it makes you feel any better....I never have a loaded plate, and I still can't remember anything lol! At least you have an excuse. You've got a great hubby...how sweet to bring you flowers!
