I'm such a dork. Today I forgot to bring the turkey we specifically purchased for the food bank. My work collected the frozen poultry and drove them down to the food bank.
I remembered that I'd forgotten to put it in the car when I saw a homeless man walking with all his bags of stuff. Doh! Forgetfulness is common for me if I don't write myself a sticky note by the door.
Also, yesterday I thought my kids had hot lunch, but really it was for today. The office called me to see if anyone could bring them a lunch. Nope. Apparently 2 teachers had to give up their lunches for my children. Another Doh!
I'm on a roll.

Where is my personal assistant?
Reason 1 why I need a personal assistant:
Two days ago we ran out of milk. There was some left on Monday night and if the girls rationed it there would be enough for 2 nights. Todd planned on shopping today (Wed...yes, he does the grocery shopping...close your mouth) but I said I would run to the store to buy them milk tomorrow (yesterday) and allowed them to drink it all up.
I forgot to get milk. No one reminded me! You should have heard the whining from the girls. I did the unthinkable. I let them drink the chocolate soy milk we have for mornings and lunches. That was scary since chocolate at 7:30pm could have really backfired on me, but they did good.
Reason 2 why I need a personal assistant:
Last night was Neighborhood Gathering night or something like that. Your neighborhood is supposed to plan a gathering so everyone can meet, chat, gossip. You know. I received a phone call about it, and a newsletter. I forgot. I came home, changed into my jammies, washed my face, sent Todd up to bed since he's sick and then my friends call asking me where I am.
Reason 3 why I need a personal assistant:
Today was water Wednesday at Shawna's school. For 3 weeks now they've had water Wednesday and I've forgotten 2 of those 3 days. Today was one of them. The first time I forgot I ran back home and grabbed her stuff, but today I was on a tight schedule and couldn't go home. I actually hoped it would be too cold for them to play outside in water and the director told me she didn't think they'd do it, but still. I forgot!!!!
Today Todd asked if on the way home I'll pick up some ice for our camping trip. How much do you want to bet I'll forget? Huh? Who's in?

Loser Mom
I blew it yesterday. I get a ribbon for Loser Mom. Paula's cheerleading squad had pictures yesterday and I totally thought it was for today. I feel so bad. Now she won't be in group shots. :( I told her I'd take her to Penny's for an individual picture. That made her happy.
Yesterday was so busy as it is. Paula got picked up early along with Shawna; they went home where Paula did homework and did more on her Neighborhood Map, then Todd took them along with the Peppers to the Round Table Pizza near school. The Boy Scouts were doing their annual serving the community there. I had a meeting with the Grants Committee at school so I didn't attend.
On my way to the Grants Committee I stopped at the dollar store for erasers that go on the end of pencils. I found the last bag. They came 60 in a bag. Score! I put them on the nub pencils last night.
Tonight I have my hair appt to remove the greys. Tomorrow is Todd's surgery. snip snip. He's only nervous about having to shave his *nads*. haha Poor thing. I have my consult with the dentist for my implants tomorrow morning.
I'm also planning a summer boating/camping trip.
