Have you seen my brain?
I called Royal Caribbean’s lost and found line this morning. I called and asked if anyone turned in a slightly used, but hopefully kinda cute, brain. Because, um, I think I’m losing my mind.
First, I can not stop talking about the cruise, both cruises really. The one I just got back from (and no for the record, because I’m up to my neck in work, I’ve not even unpacked yet — so if you want to take me on a trip, I can be packed in less than 5 minutes, just saying) or the one for next year.
Second, I am not unpacked yet. Not at all. This means that I’ve not done my laundry (the Queen Mum is having a small heart attack right no, please send flowers) and my son is picking out his clothes from the suitcase — they are CLEAN clothes from the suitcase, lest we all think I’d sunk to NEW depths.
Third, I have discovered that if I don’t write down what I’m supposed to be doing at this very moment, I will completely forget and get side tracked with one of the other nine billion things I need to do. Like the laundry, the phone calls, the fact I need to go to the grocery store so my family might be able to eat this weekend. You know the minor stuff.
Deep Breaths.

Patricia — you ROCK — that Sea Socks cruise of yours proved it. You spent all that time taking care of other people onboard. Just chill and relax for a couple of days. The laundry will still be there after you catch your breath. It never killed a child to dress out of a suitcase–tell him it’s a pretend vacation (of course, we sometimes have to dig through a pile of washed-but-not-put-away clothes on the loveseat to find clean socks so who am I to set standards???)

Umm… the laundry fairy has not come here yet! If you see her, can you ask her why she is avoiding me?

Sounds like my week – I must have lost my mind, along with my wallet and one very nice earring. Oh – and I’ve also lost my motivation to do anything but sleep. If anyone finds any of these, please let me know.

I’ve been in the write-it-down-or-else phase of life for quite a while now. Welcome to my world.
