Yesterday I dropped Peyton off at school in my slippers. I didn't realize I wasn't even wearing shoes until I got to my friend Jill's house and looked down at my feet. By then it was too late to do anything about it because she had opened the door so I shuffled in looking pretty sheepish albeit comfortable.
Then this morning I pulled out the almost empty box of Lucky Charms for Troy and started looking for the new box I had purchased the other day from the store. It wasn't there though I could swear I purchased it. Nope. Not there. I turned around and told Troy, "I think I'm going crazy!" I still haven't found that dang box.
Then I got all the way to Peyton's school and realized that I had forgotten to pack his lunch today. Oops. So they charged me $5 for a cold lunch for him. I felt awful and crummy. Who forgets to pack their kids' lunch? Me, that's who.
I don't know if it's because I'm so tired or what, but my mind is slipping lately!
I picked up Peyton 30 minutes early today since I felt so bad about earlier this morning and took him to get frozen yogurt. First I couldn't get him out of the truck because he didn't want to get out. Then once he had eaten his yogurt I couldn't get him to LEAVE the yogurt place. He cried the whole way home. So basically it's a no-win situation with him. *Sigh*
No wonder I'm losing my mind!
Just kidding.
Kinda...
At least the yogurt was good!

We all have those days. Trust me...though $5 for a cold lunch is criminal. You should have a lawyer check into that.
I think it's the time change. I have been "off" this week too, and that's what I'm blaming it on. For example, I sent $9 instead of $10 to pay for Ayden's school shirt today. His teacher pitched in a dollar for me. I had a five, three ones, and thought that a dollar of change would magically make it ten. The image of you in those slippers makes me smile! That's true motherhood right there. The kids look fabulous while the mom is in shambles! I'm slowly working on that. I mean what's the point of making them look great if I can't complete the ensemble? Right?
I forgot dance class this week. And I had to call Brad home on his way to Mutual on Wednesday b/c I just couldn't handle the 3 kids on my own. Everyone was crying and every word that came out of my mouth was yelled. This motherhood thing is HARD!
Lucky Charms are magically delicious! And i'm not kidding about the magical part. I swore up and down that I bought a HUGE box of Lucky Charms for Jared a few weeks ago. I went to get the box out of the pantry and couldn't find it. I recalled the moment when I tossed them on top of the ginormous pile of groceries flooding my cart. Did a kid swat the box off? Do I remember an extra large box of lucky charms hitting the floor? no. but somehow, at the moment i needed them most, the lucky charms were definitely NOT in my house. hmf.
Oh man can I relate! And don't you kind of feel betrayed by your brain? It's like you depend on your brain and it performs ok for you and then all of a sudden, with no warning, it starts cutting out on you.
I've got a shoe story, too. One morning back when I was teaching, I got out of my car to go into school and I looked down and I had on brown leather shoes that didn't even come close to matching the black pants and blue sweater I had on. I don't know how I managed to not notice I was putting those on but I felt embarrassed about my bad matching ALL day!
