Forgive Yourself

Ugh! Lord, forgive me.

Mom’s caregiver is out of town for the weekend – again. As I tried to sleep on the couch, mom was busy singing Christmas carols -- in Polish -- in her sleep. Although I gave up alcohol for Lent, at 1:30A I went out and bought a bottle of wine. A couple of glasses, a couple of CSI re-runs (and a few more verses) later, and I finally fell asleep.

I have a headache this morning. I do forgive myself for slipping in my Lenten resolution; you’ve got to do that sometimes, you know. But my head still throbs, and my eyes are red. Perhaps my plea for God’s forgiveness is stuck in His Inbox.

Ugh!
