I
completely
forgot
that
my
daughter
was
meant
to
bring
a
gift
for
a
holiday
gift
exchange
to
Girl
Guides
tonight
.
An
hour
before
it
was
time
to
leave
I
was
rushing
around
the
house
trying
to
figure
out
what
could
be
reasonably regifted. Thankfully (
or
not
thankfully)
my
daughter
has
been
given
a
bunch
of
craft supplies
she's
never
touched
.
So
I
wrapped
up
an
unopened package
of
Shrinky Dink
paper
.
I'm
kind
of
hoping
I'll
fall
into
a
coma
until
Christmas
is
over
.

In
an
attempt
to
help
during
a
rushed
afternoon
I
wrapped
the
gift
my
son
is
bringing
to
his
hockey
team
gift
exchange
this
afternoon
.
This
was
,
apparently
,
exactly
the
WRONG
thing
to
do
because
he
wanted
to
do
it
himself
and
now
he's
mad
at
me
and
has
stormed
off
to
his
room
.

I
got
a
call
from
my
daughter's Guide Leader
because
she's
had
a
headache
all
day
and
I
didn't
send
Tylenol
and
now
someone
might
have
to
drive
into
the
nearby
town
to
buy
some
because
apparently
the
leaders
don't
bring basic medications.
Either
that
or
she'll
continue
to
be
in
pain
and
,
it
goes
without
saying
,
I
feel
like
absolute
garbage
about
this
.
