I am the world worst mother

So, my usual routine is, the sun clock starts lighting up at 5:30. David calls around 6 to remind me to go to the gym, the sun clock beeps at 6:05, then the CD alarm clock goes off, then eventually I drag my butt out of bed, go to the gym, come home, feed the cats, eat breakfast and start work.

Today, the Nummy clock went off at about 4:30, he started playing with my CPAP mask. I fell back asleep till David called me, I never even saw the sun clock. I fell back asleep the second I hung up with David. Then, the sun clock started beeping, I turned it off and fell asleep again. The CD went off, i hit the snooze about 3 times. Then I remembered that I still haven't met with a co-worker in India and there is a really important deadline. I put on my gym clothes, and ran to boot up the PC to see if she was logged in still (they are 11.5 hours ahead of us). She wasn't and I did some work as I knew she was going to be looking for me. I was getting hungry, so I had breakfast and kept working. She finally came on about 9:30, and we met for a while. I thought about going to the gym, but remembered that I had to go to the post office at lunch time anyway so I would just go then. So, noon rolls around, I head to the post office. Then I remembered that I needed to pick up kitty treats and run a few more errands.

So, I come home and go back to work. I just went out to the kitchen (it's 6:35 now) and notice that:

-- The cat bowls are in the sink
-- My gym water bottle is in the drainer

Which means I not only didn't go to the gym today, I also NEVER FED THE CATS!!! The weird thing is, no one mentioned it to me at all! Even Barty didn't say anything! He just sat in my office or on the porch all day, not a word of complaint! Which actually made me feel worse. (In my defense, it's not like anyone was going to starve, the dry food bowl and water bowl were both full, this was just wet food that they didn't get this morning. )

But still, I am a bad, bad BAD mom.

And I didn't go to the gym either! I think I will have to blame this all on the Nummy clock for throwing my sleep schedule off.
