Lately it seems like I'm a terrible scatterbrain (worse than usual!).....and its so frustrating! I feel like I make stupid mistakes and forget things so badly. Today I carved a 3D animal cake (sitting up) in prep for fondant tomorrow. I got it all done and iced, and the structure is okay (not the best, but it should hold fine). Then I was cleaning up and found a small round cardboard that I had cut to fit the midsection of the cake. Huh? I thought sure I remembered placing it.
So I went and dug my finger into the side of the cake to see if I put it in there and nope! There were bubble tea straws and a round of wax paper...no board!!!! And to take the entire thing apart to add it would be disaster. I think the cake itself will be okay as its a dense sturdy cake recipe that was used...but its just a matter of I wanted it to be a bit easier to serve..the boards kind of mark where to cut the first half so that then the bottom half can be served. *sigh* I guess I'll just pretend to the customer that it was supposed to be that way....you know..."the wax paper marks where you stop cutting the top half and the straws are in there for support..." And not really mention there is supposed to be a BOARD in there? 
(Even though they are going to be covered in chocolate frosting by the time they are done serving....) Is that what you would do? And then same cake, I meant to use a double board for a portion of the support and I forgot and used a single board (inside the cake, it would take too long to explain why and what for...)
My head is just aching now, wondering why I make such foolish mistakes? I'm always forgetting stuff I need too...I make such a comprehensive list every Sunday for my errands day every Monday...I write everything down I have to do every day..and still I end up sending hubby out for this or that, that I forgot.
I've always been just a tad scatterbrained but oh man lately I get so disgusted with myself. 
Kitagirl,
Don't be so hard on yourself....everyone is entitled to a few "off" days.
Maybe you are just tired and doing too much...when I over schedule myself, I always become more forgetful - I think it's the brain's way of saying ' slow down a bit'.
You always do such beautiful work and give wonderful advice and suggestions to everyone here.... you are appreciated! Be good to yourself girl !
Awww -- {{hugs}}. We all have bad days! And KKristy is right - I've gotten advice from you many times, and it is greatly appreciated!
Tomorrow will be better! Chin up, it'll be ok. 
*waves pompoms* GO YOU!
Been there...we all have days like that!
and who knows, maybe it wont be such a big mess after all?
Ehhhh well when there's nothing but a thin sheet of wax paper to stop their knife....yeah it will be messy. haha. Oh well!
I really appreciate all the nice comments though.
