forgetfulness, that wasn't in my job description!

i know it has been a while since i posted anything, until today that is, but i am either lazy or busy depending on the time of day and/or night. our laptop died as i told you in a previous post, so the desktop is upstairs in the loft. with a busy 16 month old, it's difficult to find the time when i'm not too exhausted and want to sit in front of the tv or read a book for myself, too busy with playing or reading to pbs, or out and about enjoying the nice weather, when it's here.

this week it's been pretty stormy, so we've stayed in. last week it was beautiful and warm all week so we got out every day. sometimes i wonder where my head is because i've been kind of forgetful lately. in the last month or so i've left the diapers and wipes at home twice! how is it that i know that i need those things the most but yet those are what i leave behind?

once we were downtown on the Mall and i realized that i needed to change pbs. i discovered that i didn't have the diapers and wipes with me. cvs here we come! as luck would have it we were only a couple blocks from the nearest cvs.

the second time we were on our way to the zoo when i looked under the stroller for some reason and realized that i didn't have the diapers and wipes. we were only half way to the metro station so that's not quite as bad. we walked back home, got pbs out of the stroller, ran up the four flights of stairs to our apartment, found the diapers and wipes and headed out the door again. i strapped him back into the stroller and we were on our way for the second time that day.

i guess maybe i need to write everything down that i need every day like i do for packing for a trip or for a to-do list. maybe i need to find something more to keep my mind working so that i'm not so forgetful. i don't remember forgetfulness being in my job description though.
