i'm losing it
I think I'm officially losing my brain -- the part that remembers stuff. I completely forgot about pack meeting this week. It was written on my calendar, I had talked to den leaders the day before about awards, I had reminded Ryan the night before, and Mark even asked at noon (the day of) if we had someplace to go that evening. I realized we had all missed pack meeting during family prayer the next morning -- weird. I also completely missed Jared's piano lesson yesterday. Again, it was written on the calendar. However, Jared came home and didn't have homework (which rarely happens) and it was a nice day, so he went outside to play football and I completely forgot about piano lessons (not that he minded missing). I realized this mistake when the kids were going to bed and we were reviewing the day. Frankly, I'm a little freaked out by my not remembering stuff like this because I'm normally very good at it. Is there something wrong with me? Am I getting alzheimer's? Am I getting old? Is my plate (life) a little crowded right now? I'm going to stick with the last one, thanks. In the meantime, I'll be looking at my calendar more frequently.

Welcome to my world!
Yes! You are right about the "too many things on your plate." I find that when my body says I need a night off, my brain makes it so. And the first thing I forget to do is LOOK AT THE CALENDAR! But somehow, I always manage live without the missed appointments, and sometimes I'm even (Shhh) glad for the mistake! Try not to beat yourself up about it. Call it providence or something like that... You never know, the Lord might have been protecting you from something.
Oh dear. I had one of those weeks about three weeks ago. I forgot 6 things in the space of two days and felt like the biggest loser ever. Fortunately, it proved to be a temporary lapse, though over all my brain is definitely not as sharp as it used to be pre-kids. I hate that feeling....
