I apologize to my fellow blonds- I didn't used to be such a ditz, and I blame the kids more than the hair color... This is my blond moment--
In line at Safeway, picking up a few things for dd15s birthday cake, who popped up in line behind me? A mom of a classmate of ds7, who I had arranged a playdate with a few weeks ago-- the playdate fell thru, so she invited ds7 to go to her younger ds's bday party TODAY... At the time I said sure-- he will play with the brother of the birthday boy... And as soon as I arranged it, I totally forgot.
So I'm standing there buying gift cards and cake sprinkles, and I notice the person behind me buying a birthday cake, but I didn't look at her at all-- just in my own world-- and then her son, the classmate, says "it's my brothers birthday today!" and I said, "wow! It's my daughters birthday too!" and then I looked at the mom who was looking at me very strangely and I remembered it all!!! Lol.
I tried to act like I had not really forgotten (awkward) but when
She reminded me that it starts at 4 while the cashier is telling me to swipe the card... I had to ask her to repeat the party details etc etc.
She was very gracious, told me it was her fault for not sending another email, but i feel like such a dork!
Oh well. Honestly it's better that I bumped into her bc that email where it was all arranged was from about 2 weeks ago and long forgotten!!
I had an extra webkinz around to give the birthday boy, and dh took ds down to the party. They will be home in time for celebrating dd15s birthday. Ugh.
Sometimes I depend too much on my online calendar but then again-- had I just entered the info way back when I would not feel like such an airhead today!!!
I used to have it *ALL* together. Seriously.
