forgetfulness

When you have kids, you tend to focus much more on some things and less on others. A simple example would be our lawn. The only important part of the lawn is the bit that the kids use. The rest is unimportant. As a result we have the most yellow boulevard on our street. On the weekend I was asked if I wanted to put up a sign on my lawn that stated I didn't use pesticides. My reply was - "it is already blatantly obvious that I don't". In any case, my real point is this - after a long day at the zoo, we unloaded the kids from the van and went in the house. We had a bit of dinner, put the kids to bed, rested a bit ourselves and went to bed early. When I went to leave for work today, I looked outside and saw the side door on our van was wide open. Interesting. After further observation I noticed that a creature of some sort had noticed that as well and proceeded to hop in and take advantage of the fact that this was a kid transporter. Yesterday, my daughter had crumbled bits of cookie onto the floor (the bits without Chocolate Chips) - they were gone. There were Ritz Scuba crackers in a baggie - missing now. Denise's purse was in the van and it was investigated for Baby Mum Mum's (puffed Rice crackers for babies). I know there was a donut bit in a bag that could no longer be located. All in all, some creature had a smorgasbord of snacks thanks to my distractions and absentmindedness. Maybe at a subconscious level, it was my attempt to give back to the animal community after we had spent a day at the Zoo enjoying them.....

my story of the day..... I am laughing to myself as I read this. This is my life now..... and I love it!

inertia

inertia: Resistance or disinclination to motion, action, or change.

Awesome definition. Or is this one of those personal revelations that bears little significance to anyone outside my little mind. Just think about it. Inertia would seem like a good thing but based on the above definition you might want to re-think. Tell a colleague today - 'Wow! you seem to have a lot of inertia'.

For me, I seemed to have gathered up some inertia. It isn't anything I sought. It just happened. I suppose this is what happens as you get older and more mature. Should I try to change it or just learn to accept it.....
