I feel like I’m running around like a chicken with my head cut off with so much to do this weekend.  This is the first time I’ve sat down at all since 7am this morning, and let’s see right now it’s 11:43am.

I’ve been wanting to try a steak recipe a friend gave me (if it turns out well I’ll share), but I swear my mind has totally been elsewhere.  I know I wrote all the ingredients I needed on my grocery list last weekend, but when it came down to it I forgot to pick half of them up.

I was going to make the recipe yesterday, but I didn’t have the red wine I needed.  I thought I had an unopened bottle in the cabinet, but I guess not.  I made a trip to the grocery store last night for a bottle, and I thought we’d finally have our steaks today.  I started preparing everything this morning only to realize I was missing other things.  I made 3 more trips to the store before I had everything I needed.  I swear if my head wasn’t attached I’d totally have lost it today.

I swear I’m not this scatterbrained all the time.  My thyroid was bothering me last night, and I’d assume that’s what’s doing this to me today.  If I have a “thyroid attack” in the middle of the night I often have trouble keeping my thoughts on track the next day or even remembering things that happened the night before.  It totally screws with my short term memory.

Now I have to go invade my secret change stash in my cash drawer to see how much change I can roll. We promised one of Hubby’s friends we’d ride out to hear his friend’s band play tonight, and I pay for stuff like that out of our “fun money” aka the extra change I save up.

Then I have to take a shower and go shopping for yet another baby gift. Our friend is having a baby shower tomorrow, and thankfully it’s the last one I have to attend until May. Babies are popping up everywhere around us right now. I’ve bought about 15 or 16 baby gifts in the last 2 months! It makes me so jealous!

I really wanted to buy my friend the Summer Infant Soothing Spa and Shower she wants, but that’s not going to happen now unless I can find something similar at a local store. I was going to order it, but it was out of stock online last week when I had the cash to do so. Now that I’ve got cash again I can’t order it and have it here by tomorrow, and there’s no longer a BabiesRUs or ToysRUs local to us. Then again after reading the reviews I’m kind of glad I didn’t purchase it. I can probably find a better one for a cheaper price at a local store.
