There are times you have to laugh at yourself because there is no other alternative.
Yesterday, I left the house, took Tyra to school as normal, and made a special stop to do some blood work for a doctor’s appointment next week. I should have done it Thursday. I forgot, and the lab was closed Friday – surprise! After I was done with the blood work, I rushed to the train, and went to the office. I unpacked my lunch, got settled in and realized…no one was there. I forgot that we had a day off. I didn’t read the holiday schedule to notice that we were off. I had only been there an hour, and only a co-worker who showed up to do her job noticed.

This is just a microcosm of my life: I can prepare for some things well, and not others. I didn’t look at the calendar, and I’m only partially prepared for things. I just need to pay more attention to things and prepare all the time, or at least more than I do now.
What are you missing out on these days? What have you forgotten? What slips through the cracks when you prepare for your day and week?
Side note: I left my phone in my car running for the train this morning. *sigh*

I forget things all the time. Luckily days off from work are not one of those things. *giggles* The worst is when I forget something literally within seconds of thinking of it. We have too much on our plates. Things are bound to slip off. As long as the big stuff is covered we should be ok.
I was constantly forgetting my lunch at home, or would tell myself “I’ll make it in the morning” knowing full well I’m always running late. Solution? Frozen meals. I’m not too partial to them but f%ck it- one less thing to worry about in the mornings & saving $$ in the afternoon is all I’m thinking of right now. I’ll deal with the sodium levels & chemicals in my foods later…lol
* raises hand * forgetful as well!
My memory is already horrible. My pet peeve is when I’m looking for something and I get distracted–then I forget what I was looking for in the first place!
I’m always forgetting something and it seems to be getting worse lately. I blame Zoe, I was way more organized before she was born. LOL!
I think my memory was much better before we had our daughter too. I’m just glad I’m fully dressed some mornings. I have to write everything down. Everything.
