dysfunctional brain
seriously…
is it being pregnant?…
being a tired mother of 4 little ones?…
getting old?…
or just being heather?…
but… my brain has stopped working.
really.
Situation 1: I got a reminder this morning about activity days for Hannah at 4:30. What was I doing at 4:30?… oh – I was with 4 littles at the library returning books that were due. It completely left my mind that Hannah had an activity. sigh… poor her to miss it. Though I was proud of her because when we realized, she acknowledged that she should have put it on her calendar. But alas… I don’t expect an 8-year-old to remember everything.
Situation 2: I specifically drove the long-haul to a grocery store that carried a specific item I needed that is hard to find elsewhere. So what happens once I get to the store… I wander around with 2 littles wondering what in the world I was doing there. I couldn’t remember what item I had gone to buy. You’d think a list would help, but I figured I wouldn’t forget 1 item.
sigh…
Dear Brain…
Please return so I can keep order in our life. In the mean time, I better start writing things down and setting alarms for myself.
Heather
I bet you anything I am worse. Several things like this happen to me on a daily basis…and I do make lists and set alarms. I just forget to bring (or lose) those lists, and misplace my phone with the alarms…
I am the EXACT SAME WAY!!!! AH!
I had a bunch of extra spaghetti the other day so I asked my neighbor if she wanted it–she said she’d love it for dinner that night. I told her I would bring in down in 30 minutes. Then I forgot until the next morning. I felt HORRID!
Then I forgot to take my kids to their best friends birthday party–fortunately the mom called me wondering where I was… I have story after story!
