I pride myself on being fairly organized, but for some reason my brain has deserted me and I’m not sure when it will return. I suspect other parents of small children share in my dilemma from time to time. It all started the first week of school. See Diary Excerpts below:
August 22th : Today was the first day of Kindergarten. Too bad Mommy took a very excited child YESTERDAY! Not a good day, Son is still mad at me! Where, oh where has Mommy’s brain gone, oh where, oh where could it be?
September 12th: Scholastic book order deadline today. Mommy forgot to turn order in, had to make a second trip to school.
October 6th: Picture day for kindergarten kids. Son spent all morning crying hysterically. He wanted the Superman shirt (with cape), I wanted the button down shirt. I finally won the shirt war, but didn't include the check in the envelope for the photographer. I tried to pay him later, but he said Son would have to do re-takes. NO WAY! It cost me an additional ten dollars (look up fee) just so we could get his photo package printed in THAT shirt. Detectives here today looking for Mommy’s lost brain.
October 8th : Made myself lunch, and promptly left it on the counter. Son took some walnuts to school from Grandpa’s farm, but I forgot to tell the teacher they have to dry a week before the kids can eat them or they will be absolutely bitter. Again, Mommy makes another trip to school. Son’s teacher is starting to suspect I’ve lost it- she reminded me there was no school the next two days. Good thing…
October 14th : Had to make a last minute trip into house, to look for a belt I misplaced. I also cleaned out son’s backpack and overlooked putting his reading book back in. Son goes to school with no book and can’t take his test. He is mad at me again. The National Inquirer has my picture in it today under the headline, “Mommy found in Idaho with no brain.”
October 15th: Another last minute dash into house to get a new package of checks. ( Need check for another book order.) Went to change sign-up time for parent/teacher conference and spilled White Out on my shirt . (Note on bottle reads: Do not let White Out come in contact with clothing.) Spaced putting name back on list. Mommy makes yet another run to school. Put ad in local paper today, “Lost: One Mommy brain. If found please return, I desperately need it!”
October20th: Doing pretty well today, I only forgot my coffee this morning…
