The Ripple Effect

I'm not really sure what the pebble was that got the ripple going today, but whatever it was caused a nice little wave of chaos for me this morning.
My day was supposed to start at 4:30am so that I could train a client at 5am. Ameri rolled over in a panic this morning at 5:30 informing me that I had slept in. I had accidentally hit my 7:30 alarm instead of the 4:30 one. Not a great way to start my day, but I didn't think it would start what it did!
I had another client at 9:30am so I got the girls ready and got to the gym about 9:25 only to discover that my client wasn't there. I soon remembered that she had rescheduled for 8:30 tomorrow morning. I did a short workout and waited for my 10:30 client.
Yesterday I set up an appointment for my visiting teachers to come over at 11am today. I don't know why it didn't sink in during my down time at 9:30 that I wouldn't be home at 11am, but I just kept thinking that I would be home in time.
At 11:30 I was putting the girls into the car to go home and meet my VTs all the while promising Charley that she was going to be able to play with her BF Hadley who is the daughter of one of my visiting teachers. My blunder still had not caught up with me. It wasn't until I walked up to my door at noon and saw the note that my idiot brain caught on. So not only had I stood up the visiting teachers but I had to go back on my promise to Charley that she would play with Hadley today. She was quite cross with me!
In the end, I just had to laugh about it. Isn't it amazing how one small mistake can cause such chaos?

Kristi, what a day. I'm so sorry. I hate that some days are like that. Lately I'm feeling like my whole life is like that. What is needed is a girls night out. yup, I think that will take care of everything.
