Is Alzheimer's sneaking up on me?

I swear I'm losing my mind. Or my mind is not capable of storing as much information as it used to.

For the second time this week, I've gotten times wrong in regard to my kids. On Tuesday, I told Kolina her usual driver for gymnastics couldn't drive; I received an email. I wrote it in my agenda. She found alternate means of transportation. Turns out it was for today, not Tuesday. Today, Dylan's class went on a school trip. We got a nice letter from teacher with all the times and everything. I made sure Dylan got to bed early last night, woke him up at 6:30, walked down to his friend's house for a ride...only to be told by the friend's mother that I was an hour too early. Oops. Luckily they're farmers and were up. I was able to join them in the kitchen for a coffee. Oh the shame!

My cousin Elaine is coming for a visit this weekend. I think I'd better check her itinerary again!

Enquiring Minds Want to Know

Dylan popped this question out of the blue at the dinner table yesterday: "How long is a whale's tongue?"

After I'd finished laughing, I was able to answer honestly: "I have no idea."

Geburtstagskind

Happy 8th Birthday to my little bink, Dylan! I can't believe how fast the past 8 years have gone by...

Happy Birthday also to Darcy, celebrating her 3rd today!

The nerve of some people!

Good heavens, I just realised how long it's been since I last wrote on here. Oops. I wonder if there's anyone left to read this?

It's Dylan's birthday tomorrow. Last night we went trekking off to Toys R Us to buy his birthday present. While we were on our way to the cash to pay, we noticed a woman and her two kids milling around the boxes of candy. The toddler was having a fit about something, so what did Mom do? Andy watched her open a box of gummy bears, take one out, give the brat one and put the opened box of candy back on the shelf. I kid you not! Andy went straight off to find the manager and reported it. We were so in shock! I mean, the nerve! And doing it in front of your kids? GREAT EXAMPLE, LADY!!! Don't be surprised if you get a phone call one day saying your child has been caught shop lifting. Andy was almost hoping the woman would put up a fuss so he could whip his police ID out!

Talk about an interesting trip to the store!
