"Loosing" my mind

It seems that recently I have just had way too much going in my life because I find that I am failing to keep track of all the many details of my life. Within the last week alone:

• I forgot that I was responsible for making lunch for the teacher's weekly luncheon. I remembered at 6:30 the night before that I was supposed to make soup and dessert. Not a problem except for the fact that we were walking out the door to go Christmas caroling with our church at Raybrook and we wouldn't get home until after 9:00. This resulted in a frantic phone call to a colleage who bailed me out (thank you, Heidi!).
• On Thursday we lost the family Christmas photographs we had picked up last weekend. Actually, we lost them last Sunday, we just didn' t realize it until Thursday when I went to work on our Christmas cards. We spent hours looking for them and almost had Mike jumping into a paper recycling dumpster (luckily we deduced that it was logically impossible for the pictures to be there BEFORE he jumped in). For those of you who follow Facebook my profile update, written while I was quite stressed, read, "Lisa is loosing her mind. She cannot find the family pictures..." Loosing? Oh, dear! Maybe that was a subconcious reference to the fact that my mind is rapidly unraveling! Or, it just reflects that I cannot spell, especially when I'm stressed out!
  
• On Friday Abby was supposed to bring candy for the Pre-K - 5th grade buddy project at school. They were making Gingerbread houses. Despite the fact that we talked about it several times at home that week guess who showed up for school without any candy!
• This list does not include (nor is it possible to recount) the miriad of times I have walked to a destination this week only to forget why I am there, left things laying on counters, tables, etc. and totally forgotten where I put them, and the list goes on and on.

I think I need a vacation! Five more school days until Christmas break. Praise the Lord!
