Start Writing This Sheet Down

Where have all of those great ideas for blog posts gone?  I must've had 5 or 6 great ideas floating around in my head for the past few weeks and yep...they are M.I.A.  I remember thinking that I should start carrying one of those little spiral notebooks (guys I used to work with called them "brains") around with me everywhere, or at least in my purse.  Unfortunately, I didn't hop on that idea bus fast enough and now we're left with this sad excuse for a post.

Things I do have in my head:  Dreading going on my 1st run of the week, and for that matter, dreading the 2nd and 3rd, amazement that my girlie virtually toilet trained herself in 36 hours (including overnight!), wondering if I ate too many carbs today (short answer - YES, Pooh Bear), only one more day until a 3 day weekend, and only 10 more work days until family vacation.  Also, as I listen to Sambones eat his hamburger - and I mean EVERY. SINGLE. CHOMP.  Are you a cow chewing your cud?  City folks please google this).

Oh, and then there's the 4th grader's science fair project due on Tuesday, after Memorial Day.  No, he has not started it - supplies are needed.  Not anything requiring Hazmat garb, just some sand and stuff.  But I've been in the "planning phases" for weeks.  Probably far more extensive than required for an elementary school, and it is IS project, not mine.  Yet I've imagined water flowage and measuring the change and will our food scale be sensitive enough to weigh a teaspoon of sand, blah, blah, blah.  No wonder I put my underwear on inside-out in the morning and put my turn signal on when I'm taking a sharp corner.

So like so many in this world, I commit to putting some ideas in that little notebook, and then plopping them down here.
