i'm pretty sure i've lost my damn mind. what's that herb that helps you clairify and remeber things? nooo not *THAT* herb...the other one, Ginkgo Biloba...Garlic pills? I need that. In the last week I have lost my cell phone (if you know me, you know this is a very regular occurrence) and just today i'm packing up the kids to go to the park and I can't find my diaper bag...i'm scurrying all around the house trying to find it.....i then remember that every time I lose something, if I pray for God to help me find it- he does, like almost always it's crazy....no luck this time
inner monologue--'Dear God, please help me find my gigantic diaper bag cause my kids are in the car screaming and my neighbors are judging'....more scurrying...no luck I can hear my mom's voice...'retrace your steps Sarah, when's the last time you used it?' 'hi inner monologue mother, last time i had it i was at Pitts Ranch Park'....
"DAMMIT!!!"
last time i was at the park, we were leaving at around 6..dinner time.., both kids were screaming, i had a blanket here, a bike over there, a helmet on the other side of the park, and a diaper bag under the tree. I picked up both crying kids, the bike..the helmet..the blanket and left the diaper bag.
scene today at the park: me putting up signs for my lost diaper bag feeling like and IDIOT. i don't know whats wrong with my BRAIN!!!!!!!! it's seriously gone to crap since having kids. How did i used to hold down working a day and a night job and keep my SH** together? I need help, i've got issues!
In the past few months i've also left Curren's tricycle at the park ( i went back and the good people of Camarillo left it there) lost my set of Car Keys while jumping into a gymnastics foam pit .....????
at least I didn't leave my kid at the park, like that lady on Oprah.
I often wonder how Mormon mothers do it!? Is there some class I can take? Some prayer I can PRAY? How do you have so many kids and keep it together? Are their kids just amazing sleepers? HOW DO THEY DO IT?! Mormon friends please fill me in.

lol I'm sorry, I can't help but, chuckle but, only because I can SO relate. Just yesterday I was racing all over the house saying, "where are your shoes. I just say them Daisy." I was late for a park date and couldn't find them anywhere..they were in my hand along with my keys!!!! Oh my...I felt so dumb but, I think this is an unfortunate right of passage into motherhood. Losing our minds must be part of the gift/curse...it's good that we don't remember everything and then not good when we can't remember those important things like diaper bags or our kids! So understand!
