I feel like my mind is lost somewhere and I desperately miss it! I don't think I'm old enough for Altheimer's (sp?), but I could swear I'm in the beginning stages! Last week I drove to school to pick up Cade b/c I thought it might rain. I parked and got out of the car and was talking with a friend and then Cade had a friend come home with us and we started walking home. 3 houses away from our house, I realized that my car keys were in my hand and we had to walk back to school and drive my car home! Cade's friend thought it was hilarious and told his mom right away when he got home.
So this week I goofed again! Maddi has a field trip to the pumpkin patch today and I didn't go with them. I packed her lunch last night and put it in the fridge. I also made cookies last night for Family Bingo Night at school tonight and put them in ziploc baggies and put them in a lunch sack on the counter so everyone would stay out of the cookies. This morning we were running late for school (as usual) and I told Maddi to grab her lunch and put it in her backpack. At 11:45 today when I went to the fridge to make my own lunch, I see her lunch bag in there. I look on the counter and see the bag of cookies is gone! Maddi has COOKIES for lunch! I frantically called the school to see where this pumpkin patch is so my child can have a decent lunch and they tell me it's 40 minutes away and by the time I get there they'll be back on the buses to school. Now all the parents on the field trip and all the first grade teachers are going to know I'm losing my mind!!! I'm not sure if Maddi will think it's funny or if she'll be annoyed. I'm scared to find out. Now I also don't have cookies for Bingo night because I'm imagining Maddi is bartering with friends like....Give me a bite of your sandwich and I'll give you a cookie. Ugh...

lol...sorry. I guess I'm laughing because I can relate so well : ) I guess the "mommy brain" peaks at certain times : ) I hope things are going well for you guys. Any plans on coming home for the holidays? If so, would love to see you!

Oh my goodness! What kind of mother sends their daughter to school with a bag of cookies for lunch?
I am just kidding - my memory is awful these days so I know how you feel!
We miss you all so much and cant wait to see you all soon!
