what a beautiful day!!!

seriously. i don't know how i do it.

i woke up this morning, miserable as can be. i got dressed, choosing my capri pants due to the ugly, wet rain (all of my pants are too long for me, and thus get saturated in the rain). i also wore my ballet flats, DESPITE the puddles formed everywhere because well, i couldn't even find another pair of shoes that weren't my Uggs (both brown, not matching my gray and grayer outfit). i pour myself a cup of coffee, to go, because somewhere along the way i totally fucked up and never brought theracare my annual review for this particular child. whose cpse transition to cse meeting was scheduled for this very afternoon at 1.

my day loomed ahead of me, gloomier than the weather itself. work from 8 o'clock non-stop til 1, when i had to skip out on another client to get to this cpse meeting; then another meeting after that. rushing on the highway, missing juliet, driving in the rain...i was not happy. i left the house with a heavy heart. actually almost on the verge of tears. i must be pmsing again.

i get a message in the car from my first mother of the day, saying that her son has not school, so maybe juliet doesn't either. i don't get the hint, and call her assuring her i'm on my way. i go to theracare first. THANK GOD. where my supervisor looked at me like i had 3 heads.

i said, "this is very late, am i in a lot of trouble?" handing over my long overdue annual review. "uh, you're not in trouble...but there's no school today!"

what?!

yea apparently we're in a state of emergency. with new rochelle being among the worst. did i know this? nooooo. did i even THINK to check the news before heading out? nooooo.

juliet had no school today. neither did ANY of my kids. hello!? who would have ever thought that so much trouble could be caused by rain? apparently this area is always this bad. why, in the 12 years i've lived here, did i not know that?

regardless, i'm home. cozy with juliet. i get paid for my 3 kids i'm missing today because of the school cancellation. also, I'M HOME!!! it is miraculous.
