Oh, am I missing my brain lately. I've heard it said that after you have a baby your memory really isn't the same for while, I think partly because you're packing it with all this new baby information, due to hormones still settling. Whatever the reason, I feel a little loopy and I don't like it. Case in point, I used to be really great at remembering people's birthdays - friends and family members - and I enjoy celebrating with people on their respective days.
Lately, however, I've been forgetting to make phone calls and do the traditional Coleman birthday rendition (I know everyone loves this) or send out cards/packages on time. And that's the funny thing, I'll remember that morning that it's someone's birthday, but then the thought completely goes out of my mind until about 10:00pm at night (coincidental the times are before Brennan gets up and after he's in bed? I think not!). This irks me greatly. So I hope that the friends and family who have not yet received a card or phone call will understand that they are still prayed for and thought of on their day. I will try and do better next year and hopefully, I won't forget January 11, 2007 :0)

Bridgette,
You are not alone. I used to consider myself an organized person, but now most days I am just trying to stay afloat. I try to remind myself that the days of bday cards and handwritten notes will come again when my kids are older. Until then, the occasional email or phone call (usually way past the bday or other event) will have to suffice.
