I've lost my mind

[SmileyMoo]

Mommy brain has definitely taken over. I am still astonished at my actions yesterday and wondering if I've completely lost it. I feel disorganized and flustered and sadly I'm more organized than ever. Here's the situation I encountered yesterday and I'm still feeling embarrassed over it /sigh

A little back story about our schedule may help first. The girls take violin and have taken lessons for over a year now. Their normal lesson time is at 12 on Weds and group lessons are on tuesday evenings. Summer schedules are always different however and now we have group lessons on Mondays at 12 and Individual lessons start at 2:15 on Weds.

My summer is so busy and I've got double events scheduled on some days. I've already been ran ragged running the roads and this isn't even my busiest month. I realized things were so busy that I needed a new calendar. For some reason I had never gotten a new planner and I quickly realized I was so busy this summer that a small planner no longer efficiently tracks our schedule. So I bought a planner BOOK that is small enough it will still fit into my purse however the calendar doesn't start until July 2009 and so I had to resort to writing notes for myself for the month of June.

Yesterday morning I woke up and felt rushed because I had slept unusually late (until 10:30) and I was thinking I had to be at violin at 12 (our normal time--read above) So I rushed around and got the kids fed, clothed and dressed. I showered and dressed and we headed out the door. We got to violin 10 minutes early and noticed no one was there. That's when I remembered...SUMMER HOURS ARE DIFFERENT! We didn't have to be there until 2:15.

So I called my sister and asked if we could come to her house for a bit because I didn't want to drive all the way home. I chilled out there for awhile and we drove back to violin only to notice...NO ONE WAS THERE! So in frustration I pull out my notes trying to figure out what the heck is going on when I see in big red letters "NO LESSON JUNE 24, 2009-LESSONS RESUME JULY 6, 2009" *Facepalm* not only had I driven there are the wrong time but I drove back a second time and there weren't even classes that day.

Then things got even worse. I decided at this point we were hungry and grumpy and I would pull in for a pizza. We can get a locally made pizza for $5. So I got all the kids out of their seats and into the place (by myself) and I ordered a pizza and a drink and handed the cashier my money when I noticed the cash register. I said "How the world do I only owe you 2.79?" to which she replies "honey you already paid me...that is how much change I owe you" I swear I felt like a fool. I'm hoping I don't have anymore days like that because honestly I felt like crawling into a hole and never coming out .
