It's gotten to the point where I need to lay down first or my ears will start ringing and my vision starts to go ...<br/><br/>Lovely.

At one time I forgot my daughter one day, my son the next and then my daughter again on the third day. They started leaving notes - big notes- in the seat of my car when they left for school. They are grown now but remind me of it often. Especially when I am supposed to pick up their children. They will call me several times to see if I remember and then call to make sure I actually got them. Not that I'm forgetful but once you do it to you own they never forget! Oh my!

I was in the middle of a task at work and thought I would complete the task and then leave to get her. Once the task was completed, I went on to the next thing and completely forgot about her for about 45 minutes. No Mother of the Year award for me that year. LOL I think we all do this when we have too much on our minds. You have 5 kids so I'm sure you always have a lot on your mind. Sometimes I would have to chant, don't forget to pick up the kids over and over so I wouldn't forget. It's a clear signal that you need a break. Do something wonderful for yourself.

I've forgotten all four (not at the same time) of my kids at some time or another but not in ways that was unsafe to them. Once we were driving home from a football game and stopped at a quick stop to get something to drink and take a pit stop. We all piled back in the car and as we were driving away, there was giggling and whispering in the backseat. I turned around to ask what was going on and one of them said....."uh....you left Clay at the quick stop.". I was horrified. For the record, Clay was 16 and we'd only driven about a block so we got back really quickly. You're not a bad mother if you get them all raised and out of the house in one piece. :) <br/><br/>I'm enjoying your comments on my blog. For the record, we like to have fun and sometimes the subject is a bit off the wall so I hope you don't get offended. I'm a Christian too and in fact, heading to the Women of Faith conference tonight. I believe God wants me to have fun as long as it's not mean spirited. :) Oh dear the memories this post conjured in my artery hardening brain.
