However, the mad scientist archetype usually has malevolent connotations, while the absent-minded professor is typically characterized as benevolent. I am made of stories: a mother, a maker, a hacker, a singer, a traveler, a healer. Also, an absentminded technologist at salesforce.com. On Friday mornings, Hudson and I go to The Little Gym. Our wonderful babysitter comes over to keep Hayes, so I can take Hudson to his class and focus on him during. Tia Mowry told Meredith Vieira that a Sister, Sister reunion is possible, just as long as fans 'really want it' -- plus, she looks back on babysitting the Olsen twins! Loving an Absentminded Astrophysicist has 85 ratings and 20 reviews. Serena said: As with the previous incarnations of this story, the book comes in two. Absentminded or Alzheimer's? You've lost your car keys again, your eyeglasses have disappeared into oblivion, and you walked around the mall parking lot for half an hour the other day before you could remember where you parked your car. Are you on a slippery slope to Alzheimer's disease? Or are you simply a victim of today's hectic world, in which all of us have too many things going on at once, and the minute details of our day- to- day lives are easily forgotten? Most often, the frustrating problem of absentmindedness is to blame, and to solve it, you simply need to clean out the clutter in your life that is causing lapses in memory and train your brain to remember the things you so often forget. Welcome to Menu Plan Monday. There are so many great ideas here. I would love for you to join me on Crock Pot Wednesday at Diningwithdebbie.blogspot.com. But occasionally, the early stages of Alzheimer's may be the culprit. Experts tell Web. MD how you can tell the difference, and how absentmindedness can become a thing of the past that you've long - - and happily - - forgotten about. When he arrives at his destination, he pays the cabbie, gets out of the cab, and walks off, leaving his cello in the trunk. In this situation, it's a failure of attention at the time when memory retrieval is necessary.. Absent Minded Mama. I am sure you were thinking that I fell and hit my head and then forgot I started a blog. Unfortunately that is not the case. I could give you pages of excuses, but seriously, I have 3 young kids and life gets hectic. We recently took our first vacay as a family of 5. We went to Port Aransas. Ok, maybe vacay sounds too fancy for Port Aransas. Regardless, I love Port A! I am a self- proclaimed OVER - the- top planner. Corporate, social and weddings. You can only imagine how obsessed with lists I can get. If a list starts to look too messy or doesn’t seemed organized, I will re- copy it, repeatedly if necessary. I feel like I started planning for our beach trip 6 months out. One of my precious cousins, Sarah, laughs because she throws some diapers, a swim suit and couple changes of clothes in her bag for the kids for our annual trip. Then there is me, the Girl Scout who has everything you could imagine, just in case. If reading this makes you worry like me, believe it or not, they do have stores in Port A. Even though I was skeptical. We are definitely Yin and Yang. This time he actually let me help him pick out his clothes for the trip. The last time he let me do that was our honeymoon. Then he bought a t- shirt at our favorite Mexican place in San Antonio , Tekka Molina, on the way and wore it almost every day. We do not take road trips typically. Both sets of parents live locally, and it seems like torture to small kids. We did split up the trip and spend the night in San Antonio in a hotel (that’s another topic I will touch on in my next post). They were way too involved! So, I went to the good ole’ Dollar Tree and stocked up on lots of car- friendly toys, bought some new snacks they never had and hooked up movies. Luckily, Bubba and Sissy are TV zombies. They would watch TV 2. They only went through 4 of about 1. Pickle on the other hand, was not so easily entertained. There is she stuck riding backwards while her brother and sister are facing forward, playing games, eating snacks and watching movies. I did have Bubba feed her snacks and brought some toys I thought might keep her entertained. Good thing she easily sleeps in the car, if a sibling is not screaming , “Mommy, look Pickle fell asleep!!!!!!!!”I never had sensory issues until I had kids. I am an old lady and can’t handle too many different noises at once now. Each big kid had a Touch Pad with a different movie playing in the car, then the Mr. I am one of those people that if I get lost while driving I have to turn off the radio and turn down the fan on the A/C. Can’t they just use regular old head phones with a wire? I suppose I shouldn’t judge him. Yes, I am that woman in the restaurant disinfecting the high chair before I put the high chair cover on and then disinfect the whole table. So the thought of a road trip and public restrooms with small children makes me absolutely shudder. I mean really, is it necessary to touch every surface in the bathroom? The toilet seat, the girlie product trash can, the floor, the flush handle, or better yet do you need to sit down on the ground?!?!? Enough said. So that was just a glimpse into what it was like for me to get ready for our first vacation as a family of 5. My next post I will share what it was like to actually be on vacation as a family of 5 for the first time. You would think now that Pickle is almost 1. I would have regained some brain power. I promise to never disappoint in the absent- minded department. Since this blog post has gotten way too long, I am just going to list out some of the stupid sh*t I have done since my last post. Just the highlights, because can you imagine if I listed everything from the last 4 months? After one of my mom’s group meetings I loaded all the kids up in the car and then got in the driver seat and reversed over the double stroller. Then she peed in her diaper, I took her to the bathroom and put on her bloomers. She then needed to poop. I forgot to wear deodorant, at least twice. I forgot to brush my teeth, possibly twice. I left cooked carrots in the microwave for 2. I put a tube of open lipstick (no lid) in my pocket. This isn’t absent- minded but very embarrassing. Bubba referred to Sissy’s girl parts as her China at swim lessons in the changing room. I pulled off Pickle’s diaper without checking before bath, sure did get poop all over the bath tub and myself. Put the frozen peas in the veggie drawer of the refrigerator. I so appreciate you coming back to read my very delinquent blog post. I could make you some promises of when my next post will be, but we know how that goes. How about I surprise you? XOXOXOAbsentminded Mama.
