Let's talk

1. Darksadist pointed out that my last post was supposed to be titled, "Stream of Consciousness: Part 9." And she was completely right. But did you guys honestly expect me to be able to count?

2. Anth pointed out that I accidentally used Izzy's really name in the post. And she was completely right. Let's just act like that never happened, okay?

3. A few days ago, I accidentally logged in under my family blog and then commented on a few blogs. People followed the link, and started commenting on my family blog. Sorry about all the confusion.

Why yes, I am a jackass. Here are a few more things I have done lately...

1. Yesterday I decided to take both kids to the park. I bundled everyone up. Izzy looked like this...And Porgie looked like this...

I shit you not, it was like 80 degrees outside. Obviously, I have no idea what is going on outside.

2. Every week, I put some water on the stove to boil. I have intentions of making vegetables or pasta. Of course, I forget about the water 2 seconds after I put it on the stove. I finally remember the water when my smoke detector goes off. All of my pans are scorched black.

I could blame all of this on sleep deprivation, but sadly, I am just as stupid when I am well rested.

I love the look on Porgie's face...too cute!
I do the same thing all the time with boiling water. I don't know why it's so hard to remember!

Aw man, I missed the real name reveal? Oh well, maybe next time then. ;-)

I have done some great no-brainers since having children myself. My latest was just a few days ago where I kid you not, I got out of the bed 6 times before actually settling in because I kept remembering stuff I had forgotten to do that I HAD to accomplish before morning.

I'm just so proud of myself for remembering to unlock the front door this morning before I went chasing our garbage can that was blowing away down the street, since my son closed the door behind me.

Be easy on yourself. Your not stupid-you are just sick and tired and trying to take care of 2 kids under 2. GOD-I feel this way and I only have one. I missed the real name and damn it. You are such a super woman in hiding. Maybe you will mess up again.

I love the pics!!

No...it's got something to do with what happens to our brains after pregnancy. I swear, we get dumber with each child. :) (( hugs ))

You crack me up!

I didn't know those were code names for the kids. :) Good idea!

The water made me laugh... I grew up hearing this story about my Granny, about how bad a cook she was that she burned water. What it was, once she got distracted while boiling eggs & forgot... Grandaddy walked in just as eggs were exploding all over the room. Just as he walked in one fell on his head!

The bundled up kids were cute.. even if not weather appropriate!

I did the same thing yesterday. Both kids had sweatsuits on & jackets for daycare. It hit 72 here in the Philly burbs. When I got to daycare at 5:00, they were both outside in the playground, running around all red-in-the-face & sweaty. That called for a stop at Rita's for water-ice on the way home.

Don't feel bad. I came home from being at my mom's all week to find that I put my corn chips in the fridge when I left on Sunday. I must have about 1/2 a brain cell left. I swear.

Anth said...

Lol You can definitely use the sleep deprived excuse until your kids are like seven. If anyone calls you on it, just look at them blankly, like you are so tired you can't even remember their name.

You're so funny. :)

Ha! Sounds familiar.

I can not believe I missed Izzy's real name reveal. Ah..I am so bummed, you have no idea, seriously.

I do the same thing with boiling water. I did it the other day while cooking hard boiled eggs, the eggs exploded everywhere, I was cleaning them off the ceiling.

Ha ha,I can't use that excuse any more either but I do think I have permanent, irreversible damage. Really though I was pretty absent mined before I had kids. My DH constantly worries about me.
