Does anybody read these?

I did a bad thing...

OK, so I did a bad thing, but I didn't realize I did it until a little while ago, and there's not much I can do about it now, anyhow. Except tell everyone on my blog. I have a feeling I'm not going to hear the end of this one.

As you all know, my mom was in Florida last week on vacation. You also know that I was flooded out and had to stay at my grandma's earlier this week. And you know that I was attacked by my brother's insane cat about a month ago.

Are you still following? Good.

Soooooo, my brother's insane cat is staying in the other upstairs bedroom, which would be his if he ever came home. But he doesn't. Of course, you'll remember that she's insane because he left her in his apartment and didn't really take care of her. I'm still pretty afraid of her. You know, because she tried to kill me and all.

Did I mention my mom's computer is also in with the crazy kitty? And that my computer has no printer because it broke? Do you see where I'm going with this?

My mom has a meeting on the third Wednesday of every month. And she didn't get a chance to send the meeting reminders out before she left for Florida last week. So, I told her I would make them up and mail them for her. And every time I tried to go in the other room to feed the kitty or use the computer, she growled and hissed and lunged at me. So, I decided to wait until my brother came home to make the fliers.

Except my brother never came home before my mom did. So, I was going to do them Sunday and dropping them in the mail first thing Monday morning, figuring everyone would get the announcements by Tuesday morning. And then I'd follow up Monday night by calling and reminding everyone. Except then Sunday I got flooded and couldn't get home until Tuesday.

So, I totally forgot. Until this afternoon. So that meant it was too late to do anything. I probably should've told my mom, but I figured she'd kill me. And some people should show up. It's ALWAYS the third Wednesday of the month. And dad did put an advertisement on Channel 15, which is the cable news channel most people around here watch. I had meant to tell her that I hadn't done it the other day, but when she asked Dad said we had done it. (He meant put it on Channel 15.) So, she moved on to something else.

I'm just praying that folks show up so she doesn't kill me. My fingers are crossed... I feel absolutely awful, but obviously when I realized at 2 p.m. and the meeting was at 7:30, I was pretty much screwed.
