DH's flakiness is becoming legendary. To be honest, this isn't so much a complaint about him--sadly I can see myself making some of the same mistakes he's made! It is the confluence of factors that are just so annoying today. DH is now working in the office two days a week. While it has been a bit of an adjustment we're just grateful he can still WFH the other three! Except he forgot his power cord at work yesterday and without it his laptop will gradually lose power and he won't be able to work. And work is 55 miles away on one of the busiest stretches of highway anywhere in the US! So now he has to give up at least two hours to run back to work to get it and put over 100 miles on our car. (Did I mention gas is expensive right now? Lol.)
But on top of that, he's leaving right now which leaves ME in a lurch because he was going to "supervise" DS3 and DD who have half days and I have a parent teacher conference that I no longer have a babysitter for. At ages 11 and 9 they aren't tiny but I still hate leaving them all by themselves! Grrr. Part of me wants to leave them. Part of me doesn't feel comfortable doing it. And to think I COULD have requested a zoom conference call but chose to come in this time. I guess that last one is on me!
Anyway. Here's to the flaky mistakes of others that somehow end up derailing our best laid plans!
