I get alittle ditzy sometimes...

It seem the busier I get the more I forget, making me busier.

I have some examples to share with you, please laugh in love cause I am.

Friday night our church has an evening of childcare so us parents could go shopping alone. After a little debate we decided that we didn't know what we had so we must take this childless time to wrap presents. We go out to dinner, so I had eaten, then head to my Mother-in-Laws house to wrap presents, thinking we would have a movie and some adult eggnog. I forget the movie and the eggnog, but those are forgivable. We are starting to clean up and Gretchen is looking at the pile of gifts that are still to be wrapped, looking very carefully, then looking at the pile of wrapped gifts, then looking at the list of gifts for each person, and starting to count everything again. I ask her if there was anything wrong, "Maybe." Umm what? "Faline what have you been wrapping, and what is in that box, that is already wrapped?' I don't know, I was just wrapping it. This is suppose to be IN the box BEFORE you wrap it. I shake it, toss it and open it to .... NOTHING. As if I don't have enough to do I apparently think I need to be wrapping each gift twice.

I did not grow up with cast iron pans, so back when I started dating Shawn, I was helping clean the kitchen, I WASHED the pans until they were CLEAN. That history shared, this morning I was loading the dishwasher, I came across the pizza stone and I was about to wash it(only using water) when Audrey asked me what I was doing...Washing the dishes, Aunta you don't wash that dish. I was only going to use water. No It NEVER gets washed, so I called to confirm, and yep no water just scraped. I still haven't lived down the cast iron, so thank goodness Audry was looking out for me 'cause I would never live this down either.

Last night I was out Christmas shopping. I didn't have my list and I thought I knew what I needed cause I just wrapped all I had and I could remember what I has wrapped. Ya right. I go from store to store, not finding anything that looks right for my niece. I thought I had all the kids done, but I just wrapped all the presents that I had bought, and NOTHING for Caitlyn. I couldn't understand how I could had missed her but I must have. So I go from store to store not finding the right gift, belittling my self for forgetting her. I go on like this for hours, not believing I forgot her. It is 6:30 and I get to another toy store and they have these doll kits for cool doll houses.

It then hits me, we were repainting and remodeling Brianna's old doll house for her.

We have been working on this project for the last two months. I just spent the whole day looking for a gift when I had a gift at home that is made and given with love.

How I forgot is beyond me but I did.

So I am a little further away from being ready for Christmas,

but I have some silly stories to share with the girls when they get home.
