Why is karma kicking me when i'm down?

was it the comment last night? here is how things stand: slept on sofa because max was up every hour running to the bathroom. got up because sophia was up, found max extra extra sick now and had to go to pharmacy to get imodium...8:45 am, on bike, freezing cold outside. we 2 pharmacies near our house withing walking distance, of which one is ALWAYS opened, but of course was not opened when i got there. it's weird here, pharmacies have regular store hours and then for off hours the pharmacies rotate which will be opened. the one near us is ALWAYS the one on rotation thats opened the most...except today! instead the one FARTHEST from our house was opened. got back on the bike, had to ask 10 people for directions, back track back past hour house, down thru a scary tunnel, up a steep hill and past a gang of grumpy old men and finally found the pharmacy. then we had a dinner to day...or so i thought. i got totally mixed up, thinking it was dinner instead of lunch today at the f and ml's house. it's always lunch, what the f' was i thinking?? i called nanu and pino to see if sophia and i could hitch a ride at 11, when i realized my mistake on the time. so i went into frantic mode, wrapped the presents, made gift tags, cooked the parmigiana (the eggplants had to be cut egg washed, breaded and cooked in the oven first), took a shower, repackaged the jewelry (was hoping ml and p would take some to work to try and sell), max got the diaper bag ready, bell rang, took out parmigiana, got jacket on sophia, loaded car (with 4 bags), ripped car seat out of car, put the seat in nanni's car, stepped in dog crap, cleaned off the crap, ran the keys back upstairs, dragged sophia to the car and strapped her in...WHEW! 12.30 on the dot!
