Yesterday, I was so productive.

By 7:30AM I already had a load of clothes in the washing machine and, I am mildly ashamed to admit this, but that is a good feeling around here.  I’m up!  Stuff is getting done! It’s nearly miraculous.

I had a full morning planned and was on time (close enough) for everything.  And I remembered everything.  Good times.

Lunch with friends was the most important agenda item of the day, and I was (almost) on time for that, too.  Perfect.

Did I mention the sun was shining?

After lunch, I did some quick calculations and determined I could squeeze in a couple of errands before heading to the bus stop.

I dropped off my Costco haul at home and even had time to grab a Diet Pepsi before I headed back out. As I got in the car to drive to the bus stop–a 4-5 minute drive–I realized that I was supposed to pick up the kids at school today.  20 minutes ago.  And it’s about a 12 minute drive.

And that, my friends, is why children have cell phones.
