Forgetfullness

So, in my last blog I had mentioned that I'm not one for keeping daily logs. Well, apparently I'm forgetful as well. I kinda forgot I was doing this blog thingy. Sigh.

Speaking of being forgetful, my husband had a moment himself. You see.....he relies on me......I honestly don't know what he would do with out me. On Friday, Derek, my son and my son's friend Nick (whom we call our other son) packed up the holiday trailer and ventured off to the Indy races. A whole weekend of fun, loud noise, and the normal primate bonding the men like to do at these events.

Anyhow, I'm at work enjoying the wonderful notion of my daughter and I spending a little girl time together, when my phone suddenly rings with that kind of "help me" ring. I just knew it would be HIM!

I look at the phone and acknowledge my husbands number staring at me. "Hey Honey!", he says. Yup, there it is! The tone, the sheepish smile on his face that you can hear reverberating through the phone. The only thing I say with a, what did you do now tone, is "Derek!?". And you wait for it, you just know what's coming. "So.....what are you and Stephanie doing to tonight?", he asks. My response......."Wwhhyy?" Oh.....just wondering if you want to make a trip up to the races?"
Ok.....now this is when you just know.......you pause, trying to control your, "You have got to be kidding" response. "Please tell me you didn't!!" Yup........ he did.

After getting the trailer all set up, they ventured off to the races. It was at that moment he realized he doesn't have his tickets. Yup, the main item you need to attend an event and there they were, left behind right where he put them, 2 hrs away!

So, like any other loving, caring wife, who appreciates her husband........I sent them on the Greyhound.

You really didn't think I'd drive up there, did you. Haahaahaahaa. Silly you.
Until next time........ if I remember.........

Diaries. I'm not one to keep a daily diary of my daily doings. I know a lot of people who journal, blog, keep dairies and have found them to be very therapeutic............hmm....... So I thought I would give it a go and see if I can retain any sanity I may have left.

I have a daughter who graduated this year from high school and a teen son who just recently has developed a wicked, sarcastic sense of humor. Apparently he is just like me..........I just don't remember being that funny. I have a wonderful husband who works way too much and way to hard. And that is where my daughter gets her attitude. She is just like her father! All work and no play. No sense of humor at all

.Oh, I also have 2 dogs who think the world revolves around them!

So I will give this a whirl and see how sane I become............until next time.....whenever that may be.......
