One of those days...

Ever have one of those days when you feel like you just can't pull it all together?  Today was one of those days for me...Actually, it's been one of those WEEKS... but today was definitely the breaking point.  First, there's the library, where I find out I have 25 overdue books--several of which are hidden away under piles of crap where I will never find them.  Then, as I look at the calendar and realize the date, I remember that I have six rebates (totaling $52) that haven't been mailed and they were all needing to get to their destinations by today... (goodbye, $52!--it felt like I'd just flushed all that money down the toilet).  They were even already all filled out and in envelopes!  Once again, buried under piles of CRAP on the counter (am I sensing a pattern here?) In the midst of this frustration, Savannah is crying because I PROMISED to take her for a haircut every day for the past week (with an emphasis that it would FOR SURE happen on Saturday), and Colby is reminding me that I PROMISED to buy him a fire wire so he can use the camcorder to make movies...all of this serving to reinforce the notion that I am an unorganized, procrastinating (and apparently lying) mother.  My house is a mess, my laundry never got washed this week (and believe me, I've been reminded plenty of times with complaints about no clean pants), I haven't exercised in four days, and I have now let my kids down at every turn.  I was hoping when they grew up and moved away they would have really great memories of a really fabulous home life...but at this rate all they're going to get is a really BAD memory of the day their freak of a mother got hauled away in a rubber truck.  I at least hope they will come visit me.
