I turned around to see that the clerk was running towards me with two bags. Apparently I had only grabbed two. <br />Oh, my. <br />The only solution is to stop multitasking, focus more, and take ourselves lightly!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04822138761506862243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254066980782889853.post-14756041007908522842012-06-05T04:23:23.501-07:002012-06-05T04:23:23.501-07:00Oh, I'm laughing with you!

Last week I unpacked the groceries and realized I was missing a bag- the one with grapes and bananas. So I called the store to see if I'd left the bag behind (been there, done that! Let me pay for these groceries and leave them for you to enjoy :) ) The clerk said no, but if I brought my receipt back she'd let me pick out more fruit for free. I sighed at the hassle of it all, but went back later with my five kids in tow and picked out more fruit. Six days after that, my toddler walks in with a grey grocery bag from the garage. What was in it? Fruit. Still don't know where she found it. I think I owe my grocery store a bag of fruit!Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11022107791689799322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254066980782889853.post-26110905708394279002012-06-04T19:05:26.421-07:002012-06-04T19:05:26.421-07:00Hee-Hee...I am 38 and I link my forgetfulness and ...Hee-Hee...I am 38 and I link my forgetfulness and other similar antics to pregnancy...after my two sons were born, my mind has NEVER been the same.

Did that make sense????? I can't remember for the life of me even why I go to the grocery store, what I need, etc. I've never left my groceries, but I'm always leaving my keys on the checkout counter. Can't get far without the keys! I never know why I went to the garage, can't remember that I have a load of wash in the washer, etc. So I'm right there with you, gal! But the nice thing is, no one expects any more from us.

First of all a huge THANKS for being so brave and sharing.<br />I went to school to pick up my grands last week and got there a bit early, the girls got into the car and I started to leave. They asked if I knew their brother wasn't in the car yet. Oooops!<br /><br />I have 3 calendars to remind me of appointments and I still forget them.<br /><br />When I was subbing, I once showed up at the wrong school....<br /><br />Lastly, I made tuna casserold recently and you guessed it, I forgot to put the tuna in.<br /><br />I think a lot of it is being stressed out!<br /><br />You aren't alone and now I know, I am not either! Yes, the Lord does take good care of us!Quiltingrannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08885973879588867172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254066980782889853.post-45606981672570009302012-06-03T15:24:52.649-07:002012-06-03T15:24:52.649-07:00oh dear!

I've not been quite that bad but do realize that I need to take my reading glasses with me, especially on shopping trips. My eyes tend to get tired quick when I'm shopping and looking at stuff and reading tags...sigh. I'm 50+ and known to be forgetful. Like not writing items like spaghetti sauce I knew we needed but it was in my head...didn't even go down that aisle. Just got stuff from my list, which is a good thing. So it's on my list for next time. I found your blog from reading Stacie, firefighter's wife blog. I like what you have to say.

I ha...My dear Kristin,<br /><br />Thank you for the laugh!!!<br /><br />I have done many of the things you have!! I think the reason for me is the 4 little blessings I have. And every now and then, when my plate seems to be full, I do things like that. . . <br /><br />I almost left a cart of groceries right after my son was born (sleep deprivation).<br /><br />I talk to myself all the time, with hand gestures and everything! LOL Sometimes my husband catches me and we both crack up laughing!<br /><br />And the walking into the room and wondering why I came in. . .at least a couple of times per week. <br />You're not alone!!!!!<br /><br />:)Staciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17869552571064566480noreply@blogger.com
