Guest guest Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Ever have a few of those days where it is so busy or hectic that you are breaking world records on multi tasking??! My recent senior moments have been a direct result of this or maybe just due to my inherent inability to do more than 1,000,000 things at once. Or maybe because I am purportedly a senior now. It has been very hot here in Georgia. The kind of hot that in the air conditioned comfort of your home, one is guaranteed to sweat profusely by just doing stuff like breathing hard. So to honor my mama's teachings bout being a " lady " , I have tried to avoid sweating by doing little things like not cooking (just kidding), using the oven or dryer until late at night. So in the hectic-ness the other night, I managed to yet again multi-task while fixing dinner-albeit a later than normal dinner. Hungry teen, hungry spousal unithungry specials confused kitty... Waffles fries go into little european toaster oven-timed to concide with rest of food & grill foods being done. And to promote less sweat... Helping DJ cook on his little Barbie grill for his action dolls-er figures, etc etc.... Setting up condiments & serveware to the sound of the steady ticking of the little toaster oven only to be interrupted by my DJ saying several times, in a puzzled tone & with perfect clarity, " HUH??!! Where the power go??! " " MooooM " , huh? Where POWER GO??!! Ahem. My purportedly MOID son was informing me that he saw what I did not-right in front of my eyeballs- where I was working. That those waffle fries that I had set to cook 20 minutes before-were in the UNPLUGGED toaster oven. If any of ya'll find my brain, please handle with extreme caution. It might be contagious.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Kris, Don't feel bad, I forgot to turn my dryer on last night and wondered why my laundry was still wet, but the worst one I have done so far is run the washing machine with detergent and fabric softener but forgot to add laundry. That one kind of scared me, lol But in my defense I was distracted and had to run upstairs for something then just got sidetracked, but still????

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Terry, thank you for this. I am now in the process of cleaning the spewed coffee off my monitor. It is always a good thing to end a doctor appt filled day with laughter. Between you & a couple of other posters, my giggle/laughter button is on big time. Kris, who will be cackling into the night ( & checking the washing machine....) > > Kris, > Don't feel bad, I forgot to turn my dryer on last night and wondered why my laundry was still wet, but the worst one I have done so far is run the washing machine with detergent and fabric softener but forgot to add laundry.
