a moment of clarity in mommyland


excuse me while i’m having a moment…

a senior moment, or a blonde moment…or a perimenopausal moment.

true to form, i am almost finished with my christmas shopping.  i may actually BE finished, but i’m not sure.  to verify this, i went to the present hidey hole and started pulling all the presents out to figure out what was for whom.

unfortunately, not only am i early in shopping, i decided to get a jump on things and WRAP them too.  herein lies my problem.

i didn’t tag any of the packages.  so, last night, i’m staring at all these wrapped presents, unable to remember what was for whom, without peeking.

the kicker?  i DID write the names on the presents…on the box that i covered when i wrapped them early.

so, friends and family, when you get your gifts this year, i peeked.  but that was only because i wanted to make sure i sent socks to dad and jewelry to mom, not the other way around. ( and no, i did not just tell the world what you got–i’m not THAT absent minded…..)
