day 58 - mea culpa

Perhaps it was inevitable, but the day did come when I didn't take a photo. Just didn't. Early on this day making my picture was very much on my radar, I was watching for possible photo ops from behind the wheel as I dashed around on checking off a seemingly endless list of errands between school drop offs and pick ups. But I never found anything compelling, and then there was homework to supervise and dinner to cook and an empty shoebox to find for Cole to take to school the next day and next thing you know it's bedtime. I woke up somewhere close to, but still before, midnight, realized I hadn't taken a photo for the day...and decided I just wasn't going to get up again. I was bone tired, snuggled up warm and happy with my children, and my commitment to this project simply could not carry enough weight to overcome my eyelids' drift back closed. So. No photo today. It's not that I forgot. It's just that I didn't do it. Maybe I should feel more badly about this than I do, which is pretty much not at all. There were some really bad days recently, after all, when I still managed to make a photo, and today was definitely not bad. But all you can do is go forward, which I am, and I've decided to give myself this one-time pass and to make up for my lapse I am going to tack a makeup day onto the end of this project. So instead of July 9th, 2012, being the final day of my 365 project, now July 10th, 2012 will be the final day of my *366* project.
