coming out of the closet

no no the real closet not the proverbial one. I am not known for particularly waking up gracefully and alert or for seeing well in the dark....and I do not see so great in the light either but that is a different story for another time. Saturday night we went out with friends it was a late night..late for us anyway we got in after midnight, I had a beer or three also not typical for me these days and capped off the evening with a hamburger & fried cauliflower just before going to bed. All of these factors in play around 4 am I woke up decided I needed to go to the bathroom and switch rooms..again another story but the short version is I would rather switch beds than toss & turn and wake up David. It would seem that I apparently got lost trying to head out of the bedroom winding up in David's closet I was unaware at the time but I was also providing a running monologue about being lost and at one point I even said "help I'm lost" in what David is calling my 7 year old Paula voice at which point he turned on the flashlight and helped me out of the closet so the speak.

when autopilot doesn't work

you start driving to work having forgotten to drop your son at school. I suppose I deserve bonus points at least I didn't forget him at home.

shopping without a net

or worse a shopping list...
In an effort to be more budget minded I generally do not go into a grocery store without a very specific list of what we need, even if it's just for milk & bread. This seem to have helped cut down on my wandering up & down aisle buying things we really do not need and spending $50 on a shopping trip that should have run $10. Yesterday evening I was out & about and knew I needed specific groceries for tonight's dinner so I stopped and brazenly decided what the hell I can accomplish the weekly shop and be done with it all. I did very well planning meals in my head and making sure I bought only what we needed. I was oh so proud of myself until this morning when I realized that I was lacking 3 items necessary for today's menu. Today's menu you know the only reason I had gone shopping in the first place.
