A Large Absent-minded Spirit

Things I forgot today:

•           To put dinner in the crockpot before I left this morning (Thank you, dear husband, for doing that for me)
•           To put the HP7 Part1 dvd in my purse upon leaving the house this morning.
•           To get coffee on the way to Homeschool Hangout so I could take my pain meds
•           Three things at the grocery store, even though they were on my list … because I forgot that
•           I had a list of things to get at the grocery store in my purse
•           To put the HP7 dvd in my purse upon leaving the house to go to the CSA, where I would be handing it off to my parents (yes, that’s twice in one day I forgot the dvd – but I did go back to get it!)
•          That dinner was in the crockpot – I almost made a different dinner (DamnItAll, Tramadol!)
•           That my kids owe me money from our trip to the thrift store today … and from out trip to Target on Sunday, come to think of it!

       So all in all a good day. After all...

•           I herded five kids in and out of the van in various parking lots and no one got run over
•           I exited the grocery store and the thrift store with the same number of kids with which I entered
•           I remembered to put everything that is supposed to go in the fridge and freezer into the appropriate places  so I don’t find any “surprises” in bags in my kitchen (or van!) later this week - not that this ever happens
•           I’m still alive to type about it!
