I missed posting yesterday. How did it happen? And so early in the challenge to boot? I woke up with the intent to post. I even had a couple of ideas on things to post. Then I was reminded yesterday was International Women’s Day.
Wait… what? I knew it was Women’s History Month, but how did the day itself totally slip my radar?
Argh!
Now I wanted to write something for the day. I even found a great graphic to open with – so what happened? Oh, that thing called my job *queue echo chamber*. The errands I ran during lunch, that would have been my time to work on the challenge. The much needed snooze I took on the train ride home where I remembered I promised to drop by my sister and check her computer. Only to receive a text from my brother, who did something to his computer and needed my to check it. Yes, I’m the family tech support – don’t ask. I know the drill – I will have no peace until the issues are resolved. Just go get it done, Rai.
Aarrgh!
All done with everyone else I walk into my door and see the mounds of laundry that had been put off for too long and were sorted last night before I went to bed waiting to be washed. This was ridiculous. I had to get at least one dang load done before anything else right? Right. But wait, why do I have a headache – oh I’m hungry. Why am I hungry? I had a cup of soup for lunch before errands. That was only six-seven hours ago. Really Raivenne? A. Cup. Of. Soup. Six-Seven. Hours. Ago.
Aarrggh!
My cousin picked a perfect time to call offering dinner. I had actually declined because I knew if I left the house nothing else was getting done. Bless his heart he brought it to me. Yes! A load of laundry is in the machine, it’s not even 10pm, I will eat and I will get to writing – perfect.
I woke up after 2am.
Are you kidding me! My partially consumed dinner on the table in front of me, wet laundry still in the washing machine waiting to be hung. Yet what was my first thought – “Dammit I didn’t post!” Come on say it with me people…
Aarrgghh!
So today I post on how I did not post yesterday. I pick up my pen, turn it into pixels, cross fingers it does not happen again and keep on writing, but as for yesterday…
Aaarrrggghhh!

Let’s see how others are getting through this Day 9 of the challenge:
Slice of Life Writing Challenge – Day 9 – Two Writing Teachers
Raivenne-lations 
It’s ok. The fact is you realize how important it is for you and you will try to get it done next time. And you did; today! Life can be crazy and just keep getting crazy but you’re at least in this and trying. Says a lot more than most educators that think they don’t need to write; they’ve been there, don’t that!
Hoping today is better and that you get to breathe and write in peace.
I am so sorry about yesterday. I’m trying really hard not to miss a post myself. Tuesday is an especially difficult day because I teach a night class at the local university after teaching high school all day. I never get home before 10:00 p.m. I don’t get as many comments posted, and that’s another thing I’m trying to keep up on.
