Forgetfulness

Okay - I officially give up (again) on keeping up here, but shan't let it stop me from occasionally managing to post something anyway...

I can't wait for Christmas break - school is out for two weeks as of tomorrow - but in the meantime...

I managed to remember to bring canned food for the food drive, box-tops for the box-top collecting contest and a batch of cookies for the cookie exchange. Whew...

Then kids announced last night that two of them needed books for their classroom holiday book exchanges. Thank goodness I have a stash of like-new books I hoard for trade-ins at the local bookstore... we got those wrapped up pretty for this morning. Then I find a piece of paper in my daughter's backpack that tells me they both need costumes for the play - the next day! Off to be creative with whatever we can find in our closets. Assembled one angel and one quasi-shepherd who looks more like an small italian terrorist.

Then at breakfast my son says "Oh, I forgot. I need a bottle of juice for the class party."

Ack... The sparkling cider that I'd stashed for Christmas maybe? "No, she said it has to be in a plastic bottle."

He ended up with a bottle of diet grapefruit juice that I'm sure the kids will hate, as it was the only thing I had in the required packaging!

Makes me paranoid, wondering what else I either don't know about or have forgotten.

( Oh, and it's time for Verse Thursday too! )
