I would like to purchase some anti-blinking medication now. There's a pill for that, right?

I swear that all I do is blink and two weeks pass me by.

One day I'm straightening up for the housecleaner and then just as soon as I inhale the scent of Clorox in the bathrooms and take a relaxing "Damn it feels good to know I didn't have to be the one to clean that" breath, I sit down, blink, and it's time to straighten up the house again two weeks later.

Where does the time go?  How is my life passing by so quickly?

For example, I bought Chris a Father's Day card.  I was buying a card for HIS father at the Wal-Mart and I saw this one and my heart kind of went pitter patter and I thought, "YES!  This is the kind of father he is!"  So I had to buy it. 

I'm not really a card person.  I much prefer to write something in my own words but it's indicative of how time-crunched I'm feeling these days.  Too busy with gathering groceries and sentiments for other people, I couldn't take five minutes to formulate 35 words of thanks and love to my husband on his first Father's Day.  I paid Hallmark $3 to do it for me.

And then?  Even though it was a great card?  I FORGOT TO GIVE HIM THE CARD UNTIL FOUR WEEKS LATER.  I saw it in my purse a few days ago and rolled my eyes at myself.  I gave him the card.  He liked it.  He pointed out that it wasn't even signed - did I want to sign it now?  After he'd read it?  Maybe write Claire's name too?

Sometimes, I really suck.

I hate when I do thinks like that! I probably would have tried to keep the card until the next year and then lost it.

Yeah, about 2 weeks after mother's day I found my mother's day card in the garage on Daniel's work bench. Unsigned and just sitting on top of the envelope. I asked him about it, and he was like, yeah, I forgot... and it is still there. I guess he's saving it for next year?!?!
