Last night was supposed to be pulled pork. Then I remembered at 3:00, "Oh no! I haven't thawed it yet!" I rush home to start the process, dropping all the kids' school stuff on the floor and berating myself for making such a mistake, start filling the sink with hot water... until I discovered that actually, there was nothing in the freezer; I didn't even buy the pork when I went to the grocery store.
Somehow the bigger mistake made me happier. My screwup was so thorough, nothing I did yesterday could have fixed it, so I was off the hook. Plus, instead of having dinner late, we had Chipotle.
