OT: When you keep getting new chances... again and again

(OT = off topic from reno posts)

Remember my post back in April about the tooth fairy that forgets? She forgot AGAIN.

BUT the good news is, she got a lucky break. Again. Cody has a new clock radio that screams him awake each morning. This fine AM we must have both been extremely tired as we both slept through two alarms going off to two different stations.

I finally woke up and arose very sleepy... wandered into the kitchen in a fog to grab the coffee pot...

That's when it hit me! I ran to the change jar, grabbed what I found and quietly while his clock was blaring some tune, did what all good toothfairies do. (reach over a sleeping boy and plunk the change on the windowsill that he opened so the toothfairy can pay him efficiently and easily, quickly retrieving the tooth from the little plastic treasure chest, hoping I wouldn't be caught or fall on him or drop something on him or all of the above)

Did it! THEN I woke Cody up. I'm amazing. All this over a blaring radio.

Just how many chances do I get here?!? When will I learn? Why don't notes I write myself work any longer?

No idea. Guess I'll just keep taking chances. I'm sure, again soon.
