You ever just like… fuck up so bad it makes your stomach hurt? Like, you know that feeling when you just wanna disappear? That’s me right now. Every single day it’s something, you know? Like, I got two little ones, my grandkids, living with me now. Their parents—my kids—are… away. And it’s just me. And it’s not like they're bad kids, they’re just… kids. But it’s a lot. It’s SO MUCH. Rent here in the city is insane, and I work two jobs just to keep a roof over our heads, and groceries? Don't even get me started on groceries. I'm just so damn tired, all the time. My brain feels like scrambled eggs, honest to god. And today… today was just the worst. My littlest one, Leo, he had a doctor's appointment. Like, a check-up, something important, you know? They sent me like, three texts and an email and I even wrote it on the calendar, the one with the cute little cat stickers. But you know how it goes, you get up, rush rush rush, get them fed, get them dressed, get them to school, clean up the breakfast mess, try to get some laundry going, then rush to my first job, then rush to pick them up, then rush to make dinner, help with homework, try to make sure they actually brush their damn teeth… and it just… vanished. Out of my head. Poof. Like it never existed. I was making mac and cheese for dinner, and my phone rings, and it's the doctor's office, and they’re like, "Mrs. [My Last Name], we missed you and Leo today." And my heart just DROPPED. Like, right into my shoes. I just stood there, holding the spoon, and the mac and cheese was bubbling and I just stared at it. Missed. An appointment. For my GRANDKID. You know? Like, the one thing I'm supposed to be good at. Keeping them safe. Keeping them healthy. And I just… forgot. I feel like such a piece of shit, honestly. Like, a total, complete, useless piece of shit. What kind of grandma forgets a doctor's appointment? I don't even know what to tell them. It's just… humiliating. And I feel so bad for Leo. It's just. Ugh. Every single day. Every day.
