Scatterbrain

I had a BBQ to attend Saturday evening and while I knew it was approaching, I could not get it together enough to prepare something to contribute.

Cooper was assigned to give a talk in Primary today and it escaped my brain until late Saturday evening.

I had teacher inservice this evening and while our discussion went well, I did not feel as prepared as I would have liked.

I had all morning Saturday to get my upstairs vacuumed, but found myself flitting from task to task and it never happened.

I have food in my home for several meals, yet dinnertime has come and gone around here the last few nights without anything substantial prepared.

I've known in the back of my mind that laundry needed to be done, and while the clothes got pushed through, Denten had to pull clean clothes out of the dryer twice this week. Why is it so hard for them to find a home once they've been washed?

Sending a request into the universe: Please bring my brain back. I feel scattered and disorganized. Not a good combination for me. This last week was a heavy and hectic one, but I need to get things pulled together around here so I can accomplish all I'd like to this week. So as I sleep tonight, please, brain, come home to me.

Did my borrowing your vacuum throw you off? Sorry...

Umm...what if I admit that ALL of the above are "normal life" in my world?!

Karen said...

I know how you feel. I have felt that way for sometime now, but I wish you luck.

All that sounds normal. I know you'll get back to yourself because you at least know how to be organized. I'm still figuring it out.

Amberly, when your brain finds its way back please send a message to my brain that it needs to come home :)

My week was a lot like yours...

I have a big grin on my face right now...why you ask...because, we call it a GOOD week around here if we are pulling clean clothes out of the dryer to wear as opposed to telling your 1st grader (5 minutes before school starts) to "just get some socks out of the dirty clothes and I promise mom will do laundry later today". So my friend, don't feel bad at all. The way I see it you are 2 steps ahead of the game!

Consider yourself lucky if this is only a phase for you. Welcome to my life. :) You make me laugh.
