The Madness Season

This reads like one of those "you know you're getting old when..." emails that tends to make the rounds, but this real-life example (my morning so far) illustrates why I'm surprised I still have some semblance of sanity.
Plan for the morning/early afternoon:

get DD to school

vacuum DD's room

weed through DD's books and toys while she's at school

get carpet cleaners in

finish Christmas cards

Actual, as of 10:30 am

get DD to school

get large FedEx food service order (which I'd forgotten was arriving today)

start unpacking food order into freezer

realize I should vacuum first in preparation for cleaners, so start vacuuming

try to fish sock out of vacuum hose

get call from school to pick DD up because she's not feeling well. Half an hour before carpet cleaners show up. School is 20 minutes away.

call carpet cleaners to slip arrival time by half an hour

go get DD

continue attempting to retrieve sock from vacuum hose

DD wants food. Doesn't want the leftovers I try to give her. Ultimately just nuke a can of chicken broth

FINALLY retrieve sock from vacuum hose and finish vacuuming

carpet cleaners show up, get them started.
Back now, hopefully, to my regularly scheduled morning.
