This is your brain….and this is your brain after child-birth, any questions?

Has this ever happened to you? You are super excited to meet up with a friend and you are taking a shower, getting dressed, putting on your make-up and the phone rings….

Me: “Hello”
My Friend: “Hey girl, where are you?”
Me: “I’m at home getting ready, where are you?”
My Friend: “I’m here waiting for you, we were supposed to meet at 9:00″
Me: “OH MY GOSH, tell me your kidding! I thought it was at 11:00″

Now the conversation above wouldn’t be so bad if the poor girl hadn’t called me 20 time to confirm and remind me about when we were meeting for the Bible study!

This happens to me ALL the time. Heck, I will stand at the refrigerator door staring at the food inside because I forgot what I was looking for. I mean it’s the fridge how hard can it be? 

I use to call it the “pregnancy stupids” but after 4 kids I am convinced I will never be “smart ” again, at least not on my own! I have resorted to making even more lists than I did before I had kids, using 3 dry erase boards, a desk calendar the size of Texas and my “smart” phone! I truly believe that these things are the only way I manage to get anything accomplished in a day! If you are penciled in on any one (or more) of these things then I should be able to remember you , unless I write the time down wrong (as was the case with the situation above)!

I love to write things down and I love to store everything else in my phone! I have to set my alarms to remind me “hey it’s time to pick those two boys up from school”,  ”don’t forget to buy Nilla Wafers for JJ’s class”, “don’t forget to post on forgetting things”, or my least favorite “it’s time to wake up”! I am so thankful for my alarm.

I also love being able to leave myself notes to remind myself to talk to my husband about things before I do them! Oh, the many ways I use my phone! I really wish I could afford to go all the way with my “smart” phone and purchase the internet package from Verizon but unfortunately  I can’t justify spending $30 a month per phone so I can blog, twitter, facebook, or surf the web from my phone! Maybe next year when have been debt free for a while!

Enough about me… Let’s talk about you! Can you relate to my scatterbrain? How do you keep the “stupids” at bay? How do you use your phone to stay sane? Inquiring  minds want to know!
