Losing my mind...

Saturday was family day at the Portland Air National Guard base. Unfortunately the boys were not with us this weekend so they missed out on all the games/activities for kids. I got to go and hang out with Andrew though...I wish I had a picture from the day! Things I think of later. Anyways, I forget everything as it is. I got a block away from home when I realized I left my cell phone so I had to turn around for that and then when I got to Linnton I realized I left my wallet at home. My husband already gave me the lecture about driving without my license on me, but what I was really worried about was the fact you have to have ID to get on base! I called Andrew to find out if he could get me on base without it since I really didn't want to drive all the way back home to get it. He said he would meet me at the gate, but that didn't solve the problem of having no money and an almost empty gas tank. Luckily I was meeting up with my mom in Portland later in the day so she went by my house and picked up my wallet. I am telling you I have lost my mind! Will it ever return?
After the stuff at the base I went to my friend's baby shower in Gresham. She is due Oct. 6th and having a little girl, Prudence. It was a lot of fun to go and see people I haven't seen in a long time. I love how it seems like you can not see someone for sometimes years and then when you meet up again you can have conversations like no time has passed at all. I often wonder if that will be what it is like when we see each other after we all die? Having an eternity to catch up on things and continue to develop our friendships. Anyways, congratulations Emily and good luck on your delivery. I am right behind you!

Losing your mind is TOTALLY normal during pregnancy and then it's downhill from there...once the baby arrives! But don't worry...you are NOT alone ;)

I love it when I can just pick up with an old friend like we have been talking everyday. And I've wondered like you have about the eternities, too ... we shall see!
As far as losing your mind, at least you have pregnancy to blame it on! What's my excuse? I sometimes worry that alzheimers is in my not so distant future! Ohy.
