Soap Opera Amnesia

You know...I always used to laugh at how soap opera plots used to make use of amnesia to restructure a show. If a relationship was getting boring and both characters in the relationship have had too many affairs already...USE AMNESIA! A certain character is losing interest with its watchers....USE AMNESIA! Need to introduce someone into the story plot either via nurse, doctor or patient...USE AMNESIA! Wedding day...AMNESIA! Funeral...AMNESIA! Murder...AMNESIA! Special Guest Star...AMNESIA!

Well, since the beginning of this school year...I think I have some form of amnesia! My life is just a weird series of costume changes, car rides, errands, washings, toiletings, feedings, and small mental breakdowns medicated by either chocolate or dairy products. I wake up to the very same maddening routine everyday, surprised that it's all happening to me, while I'm in my pajamas holding a pair of training pants in one hand and a dozen eggs in the other. Does anyone else feel this way? Everything I do isn't difficult.... But there are things about it that just baffle me. For instance, why does look like a bomb hit my house after I put my children in bed, yet I know I spent HOURS cleaning and organizing this place? Why does my 2 year old insist she has to poop in a major way when we finally get to the front of the grocery line with a cartful, only to get to the bathroom, look up at me while she's on the toilet and say, "just a fart..."! Why when you finally have turkey for easy sandwiches for lunch, you find that your bread is moldy! Why is it when you are running late, you can't, for the life of you, find your son's shoe, but five minutes after he's supposed to be in class you realize he's wearing one and the other has been in your hand for the last half an hour?!?

And to top it off...I COMEPLETELY FORGOT I EVEN HAD A BLOG!!!! A friend emailed me yesterday and said, "BLOG ALREADY!!!!" Thanks, Margaret....At least one of us isn't laid up in a hospital bed with a big ol' head bandage wondering, "Where am I?"
