Day late and a dollar short


I can always tell when I am tired or overworked when I start misplacing my keys. I haven't lost them all week and so I figured I was good, but apparently some things sneak up on you.

I went to the grocery store tonight specifically to buy the Blue Bell ice cream which was on sale for $3.88 per 1/2 gallon. I was a little frustrated when it rang up wrong so I went to talk to the manager. I asked why the ad price wasn't reflected on my receipt. She pulled out the ad and flipped through but it wasn't there. That was when I kindly pointed out that she was looking at tomorrows ad. She looked at me strange. I clarified. "You know the ads change on Wednesday morning and you are looking at the ad for Wednesday instead of Tuesday nights," I explained. "Hon, it is Wednesday," she offered gently. What could I say to that? I came up with, "Oh."

I am so off my game I don't even know what day it is.

I'm so sorry! You needed the ice cream more than anything at that point, hope you got it! We need to get together soon. Maybe let the guys take the 9 kids and we'll go eat some ice cream!

It really must be a rough week...there wasn't even a Monday holiday this week to blame it on! Hope the ice cream was soothing though!!
