Forgetful

Lately I have been super fogtful...you see I even forgot to type the "r" in forgetful. Here are some examples that I can remember from just this week. This is super embarrassing for me because I like to think that I have it all together.

Monday I was driving to the grocery store because our fridge was getting bare (because I had been forgetting to buy things at the store). So I grab my purse, get Carson in his seat and we were off. Half way there I realized that I had taken my wallet out of my purse for church so that all of Carson's stuff would fit. I turned around and got it because I can't get groceries for free althought that would be nice.

Next day, Tuesday I leave early for clinical. The night before I had put my suitcase full of books and laptop into the trunk. I had also packed my backpack because I was planning to stay overnight at a friends due to late clinical hours.
My point is that I had to bring a ton of stuff.
I am driving into Marysville and I notice my gas light. Now I knew that I needed to get gas however, how was I going to buy it when my wallet was in my purse which was at home! Very annoyed with myself I prepped at the hospital then waited for the bank to open and went to in to beg. You see I only had my school I.D. on me. So after answering every imaginable question to verify my identity I was able to get cash and get gas so that I could make it home.

Last but not least, every Thursday I take Carson to the library for Mother Goose on the Loose singing time. Carson loves it and looks forward to going. We leave at 9:50 so that we are there when the library opens at 10:00 so that we get in line for the 10:30 time slot.

Yes people it is popular and when they have 100 people they send people away!

I have been going to this for over a year and have only gone to the later singing time (11:30) once which by the way is not crowded at all!


So yesterday I get ready and I should have gotten in the car right after but my brain didn't register that we had to go. So we read books, played, hung out, and got the mail. As I am pulling into the library parking lot I wonder, "why is the parking lot so full?"
That's when it hit me that I was an hour late!!

Granted, it wasn't important but we were also meeting a friend and I couldn't go to the later time because I was watching another friends kids at 12:00. Aaah!

I need help! I was staring to wonder if I was crazy until I read today that "the babies brain is growing at an amazing speed." You see, apparently I have pregnancy amnesia and my brain power is being sucked from me!! Great, just what I need. So if I forget to call you, don't show up for something or forget to make dinner remember it's not personal.

Tasty Tuesday

I have been meaning to post a recipe for weeks now but I am gone from 4:30 am until almost 10 pm Tuesdays so as you can imagine the last thing I want to do is type a recipe when I get home so I am doing it a day early! This recipe was made in my crock pot something I have only used 4 times including this recipe. I am happy to say that I loved the aroma that it created cooking all day and it was tasty too!

Italian Chicken

2 lb. chicken breasts, chopped
1 can (28 oz)diced/whole tomatoes
16 oz artichoke hearts
1 can (15oz) pinto beans
8 oz sliced mushrooms
1 box (1.4 oz) Knorr vegetable soup mix
1 (10 oz) can cream of chicken soup
1/3 C italian dressing
Hot cooked pasta
chopped parsley (optional)

In crock pot combine all ingredients.
Cook on low for 5-7 hours
Shred chicken breasts. Serve chicken and vegetables over cooked pasta.

I tried this on friends, I like it and so did they. It serves 6 and would be great for Sunday dinner.
