It was always nice to be able to have something to blame for my spaceyness. Pregnancy. But- now I don't have that to fall back on. So- now I blame it on just being a mom. This scenario happens to me just about every day- just in a different form. Here's what happened.
Jared took Alyson, Jacie and Rachel on the Willamette River on his fishing boat. That left me and Benjamin by ourselves. I figured this would be great to go shopping for those last minute things I needed. I didn't NEED too much- 3 things- so I decided to make a mental list. I even tried to envision myself going to each isle to get the things I needed. The only thing I really needed desperately- were my bottle liners- although I could have used a different bottle if I needed to. So- I got to the store, went and got the formula and wipes, and went on my way. Just looking around the store, nowhere to go... I went to a shoe store, bought shoes for Jared, then decided everyone would be probably home soon, so I got Ben in the car- then thought- I wonder when he's due to eat again? I have bottle liners with me, right? BOTTLE LINERS!!! The one thing I forgot to get, which was the primary reason for going to the store in the first place! Luckily, I hadn't buckled him in, and hadn't put away the stroller yet, so in I went again, and came out with more than I had planned on getting. But- its hard for me to believe how my brain short circuits when there were only 3 things on my list of must haves! Oh well. Sometimes I wonder if I'm in an early stage of Alheizmer's- because I am so forgetful. I need a notebook within easy reach in my purse so I can jot down how to get home.

I am totally with you Stacie and I dont even have 4 kids. I guess we have to forgive our crazy selfs : ). Love you all. Take care.
That happened to me the other day, I HAD to get milk, and totally forgot it. We were all buckled up and had to go back in. What a pain. But I can blame it on pregnancy brain for a couple more weeks. Then I will blame it on lack of sleep.
I can't even remember my mental lists of one item =( Are you telling me it doesn't get better with more kids? ;)
