As a mom my day has more 'to do's' in it than ever before....more cleaning, cooking, laundry, mommy time, wife time, work!!! I have found some items to be forgotten and frequently find myself banging my head against the wall in my forgetfulness. So what exactly am I talking about? Trust me this will happen to all moms....
1. It was 12:34am when I was finally done with my days work. It was time to hit the hay. Face washed, teeth brushed, pjs on.....AHHHHHHHHHHH I forgot the 6 laundry baskets of laundry I dumped on my bed that I was supposed to put away. Major problem....time to move my brain to problem solving mode do I a) put all the clothes away which will take me an hour and I have to go into Brandon's room and he is sleeping. b) Go sleep on the couch which is terrible for my back and I don't sleep well. c) Throw it all back in baskets until the morning and have overflow surround my bedroom floor. Guess which one I did? I have a great excuse- it was 12:34am and I needed sleep. It waited just fine until the morning.
2. This one was a few weeks ago: My daycare lady calls wondering why we paid her so much for one week of daycare....only to have a voice mail a few minutes later that our house payment is a little short. I couldn't figure out what the problem was. I soon realized I put the wrong payment in the wrong envelope and mailed it. They understood and were fine with it.
3. It is 4:30am and I had to be up early for my Moms Expo. I headed to the shower to warm it up (not pulling the shower curtain fully back). I use the bathroom and get undressed for my shower. I pull the curtain back to find the tub filled with Brandon's ducky he takes his bath in and all his bath toys. We usually dump the ducky and let it dry and then store it in our bathroom closet. However, I forgot. If I took it out now it would cause water all over the bathroom floor and a puddle in the closet. Oh well, there is room for 2 of us in this shower...move over ducky...I'm coming in!
4. I was finally on top of my game...house perfect, full groceries, only yesterdays clothes in the dirty clothes bin! YAHOO!!! I think I am going to wash the blankets we use in the living room. I haven't done that in 2 weeks or so. I proceed downstairs only to realize the washer is FULL with a load of clothes I totally forgot about and missed 3 days ago. Not only is it FULL it has that 'been in the wet washer for 3 days' smell to it. UHHHH....I restart the washer with a new load of soap to get the stink out. I had to do that twice.
This doesn't happen every day...just once a week or so.
It happens to ALL moms....doesn't it?

YES! Holy cow. Okay, I have to admit that I did a couple of those things (the laundry things) even before I became a mom. But I think Ezekiel sucked the remembering part of my brain out when we flew back to MN. I forget SO much stuff now. It's insane.
