Hmmm...forgetful?

So, I just remembered I have this thing called a blog. Ohhhh, here it is! I am not going to get into the yada-yada of a SAHM's busy life and all the 1001 reasons I have not entered anything in ages, but I came across another blog this morning and it rocks! I mean, it really kicks ass... I think I love her, seriously (especially her coffee/I work entry). So, on that note I am up and typing again (inspired by Alecia), right here in my kitchen, coffee in hand, with Bunny standing on the chair behind me "doing my hair". It's great!

I feel like I dabble in so much, as we all do, that I can't keep it straight. Like, literally can't keep it straight. Sweetpea has spring break next week and honestly if it wasn't for one of my friends asking to borrow my backpack for her trip to Florida over the kid's break next week, I would have been rolling up in carline on Monday...all alone. As the words were coming out of her mouth, I just casually said, "Oh yeah, we are just doing some fun day trips- aquarium and the children's museum." Huh? Did I really just make that up on the spot? Yes, I did and Sweetpea was all ears. So now we will be heading to the museum and aquarium next week. Sweetpea is very excited.

I just seem to forget everything from Gymboree class to where I put my measuring cups. I guess I cannot blame it on baby brain since my baby is almost two. I would also like to note that we are highly organized, non-cluttery, neat, clean, always write dates in the calendar type of people. My house is not chaos or messy, just my brain. What can I do to fix this?

I think my real issue is the guilt I feel in being forgetful. I am definitely starting to feel guilty. I don't want to be that slacker/I don't give a crap mom. I should have my junk together, right. I am at home, this is my job. But somewhere between dance class, updating my family blog, board meetings, wiping tushies, chairing community fundraisers, uploading my newest photos to my 365 flickr group, throwing food in the crockpot (love this mom too by the way), doing puzzles, teaching letter sounds, carline, carpool, carwash, sewing up holes in teddy bears, clipping coupons, making playdough and getting to a mommy and me music class, I forget things. Don't I get a pass? My husband doesn't get it. How is it possible for a girl to lose the bottle of pledge she just bought? I don't know, but I do. And I mean come on, seriously, like he could remember all that and more...pfft, whatever.

I wish there was some magic exilir I could take for memory. Maybe I need to invest in a Nintendo DS of my own and get a few brain games because all I know is that my mind is seriously swimming with thoughts. No drowning.

On that note, I really need to go get in carline...almost forgot Sweetpea has tennis today, now where is that racket?
