Rough Start

It's not as if we are running around like chickens with our heads cut off, not yet anyway, but life has been overly, and seemingly unnecessarily, hectic.  We're tired, we're unorganized, we're behind on basic things like laundry and grocery shopping and saying things that need to be said.
 
My mind is turning to mush.

It started with little things like forgetting to mail a Netflix that was watched almost a week ago, progressed to unspeakable acts such as sending a baby to daycare without her pacifier and ended (hopefully this is the end) with an event so extraordinary it can only be categorized as such.  Here's one possible headline:  Neglectful pet owner leaves unsuspecting dog outside all day with no warning or explanation.  I am still in shock.  Lucy is an inside dog that loves being outside but she has never been left out like this before (not even close).  Phillip came home to find her sitting at the back door.  Surprise!  She probably had the time of her life out there.  All I know is she drank a lot of water last night.
