The Forgotten and Lost

Today has been a crazy one.  I get to the office, tired but excited, this is my last day until Monday.  I get 3 days off for Spring Break!  I was there an hour before I remembered it was Pay Day! My first forgotten thing of the day.  Ugh, that meant I needed to pay bills and balance our checkbook.  How could I forget it was payday! 

2ndly,  I remembered that Joel had an ortho appt. today and it wasn't for tomorrow.  Why I thought Wednesday was the appt. day I have no idea.  I have it on the calendar as Tuesday the 15th. 

So, being thankful I remembered, with the help of the dentist office, everything was planned to get him there.  So lunch time rolls around and I am convinced his appt. is at 12:40, Darrel and I drive home to pick up Joel.  We stop by his regular dentist office, pick up x-rays and head to the ortho.  We get there and we hand the nice receptionist his paperwork.  She looks for his name and sweetly announces that his appt. isn't until 3.  Oh my goodness, what else am I a going to forget today.  Of course that meant we had to do this again at 3!

Well we finally do all that and I think I am in the clear for the day and realize I have lost the money I was paid for a photo I did for someone.  It was only one pic and they generously paid me $10 instead of $5, which is the cost of printing the picture.  I guess I stuck it in my pocket and it fell out. For whatever reason that was the last straw for me.  I went home and took an anti-anxiety pill and slept for a couple of hours.

Of course just forgetting didn't make me have an anxiety attack, the fussing over things with my dear spouse in the middle of it all helped out as well.  He seems to be going through a stage of not understanding what I say, a little anger and other things that come a long with a much too busy life and the worries of living life day to day.

The best news of all today was that Joel did not have to wear head gear because the dentist said he does not have an under bite.  So wonderful, no crazy head gear for Joel but the price of his braces cost as much as a small used car.  I saw my husbands face go white with the announcement of our monthly payments for the next 2 years and for the generous amount we must put down for Joel's day to get his braces on, which happens to be on Wednesday, March 23rd at 9:40 a.m.  Maybe I will remember this appointment.

Until next time, God Bless and be kind to each other.
