Why is it that …

– Slightly Older Princess forgets her swimsuit for third grade swimming lessons,

– Little Princess decides she needs to spend five minutes relocating a dying ladybug from the middle of the street to the nearest front yard,

– You have only 1/8 of a box of cereal left, two pieces of bread and next to no milk,

– And you forget the plastic bag for the dog’s, um, walk,

… all on the day everyone woke up late?
