Up until fifteen minutes ago...


I was completely stressed out. This morning, while in the shower (where I seem to have most of my really important thoughts), I remembered three things that I had been forgetting to do. 1. Renew my Driver's License (overdue - and I am hoping that I won't be taking a get in the car and drive test - I've never taken a get in the car and drive test - only Driver's Ed and the written tests - I KNOW - it's all about where I grew up :-)). 2. Send an email to the girls' teacher. 3. ??? By the time I was ready to leave the house I had totally forgotten what #3 was all about and it was driving me crazy! I mean I even turned my rings around so I wouldn't forget to remember - and I did remember 2 out of 3 but that elusive 3 was the magic number. I knew I should have called myself and left a voice mail (do you do this - I do it all the time and then when I get to work I look at that red button on my phone and think "Holy Bananas who called me already this morning" and then I remember :-)). So the entire way to work I am thinking and thinking and thinking trying to remember what that #3 item could have been. I knew it had something to do with work but after that it was all a blur. It really was causing me stress. I hate forgetting things. I walked into my office still having no idea what it was I was trying to remember and I was beginning to despair of ever remembering what it may have been *SIGH*. And then - I looked at my calendar and it all came rushing back - I REMEMBERED - I remembered what I forgot - so I got right on it and then crossed it off my MUST remember list. I feel so good, so relieved, so liberated!!!! And then I read my email and two more items popped up on the MUST REMEMBER list - so this time I wrote them down - I'm not counting on my rings to help me remember this time...

TTFN and don't forget to remember...

I think you have 30 days after your birthday to renew your license so you had better get on that girl! And the turning of the rings would annoy me so badly that I would never remember why I did it, just that I am annoyed that my rings are turned! :-)

But if you have a good idea for remembering your grocery list when you leave it at home, please share!
