lunacy

I am officially losing my mind.  It is very sad.  On Monday I completely forgot to pick up Cedric.  This was not just a matter of getting sidetracked and not realizing what time it was.  He simply did not cross my mind at all the entire day.  In fact, when they called to tell me, even the call did not flip a switch, as it were.  I just wondered why they were calling.  Then Tuesday morning I forgot to take my children to the dentist.  They had called on Monday afternoon to remind me, I had had it written on my calendar for a month, my calendar was open on the counter and I had referred to it that morning, but no, couldn't possibly remember.  What more can a person do?  I need an alarm installed into my head.  Charles has started joking that I say certain things, like that he doesn't have to do school tomorrow, and that I just don't remember saying it.  Taking advantage of my senility.  When I start being so remiss, I often wonder what else I am forgetting that I *never* remember.  I suppose I will not ever know, but it gets one to thinking...

We received the all time most adorable baby announcement from Jake and Candis.  Oh my!  So commences a new obsession.  I had already been preoccupied with the whole notion as I lay awake in my supreme discomfort (not that I mind, happy to do it, anything for my little one!).  This just gave me some new ideas to consider.  I don't know if I can pull off what I would like to do.  I have visions of taking great photos, but they always fall short of my expectations.  I would like to think it is the tool at my disposal, but it most likely is lack of experience, education, and dare I say, talent?

Time to put sillies to bed.
