Flakey as a biscuit

I have a confession: I have been so flaky lately! In my "before motherhood" days I was NEVER flaky! I worked at the same job for 7 years and I was late for work one day and that was *only* because they called on my way to work and needed me to stop for something and I ran into someone at the store that I knew, through work so I had to be nice :) Of those 7 years, I called in sick one day, I missed one other day because I went to work sick and they sent me home (the other sick day followed this day)

So, I guess I was doing well so God decided to test me with one baby. I still held on and was pretty predictable and dependable, so he gave me two at once. It took me a while to recover from that, but I did, and was still pretty non-flaky, so along came the Grand Finale. I have to declare, I have surrendered and confessed, I cannot maintain a coherent thought any longer.

About two weeks ago I invited a friend to the mall while my kids were all in school, her baby is Millie's age so it would just be the two babies. Then I realized I had invited her on MLK Jr day, so all my kids were out, so I had every intention of sending her a text message to say whoops and reschedule, but I flaked and totally didn't send the message! I left her hanging the day we were supposed to go out. I NEVER do things like that!

So, fast forward to the present: This Saturday I was supposed to go with my friend to paint the inside of her Mom's house so they can put it on the market. Well, then I realized it was the same day as Pinewood Derby. That part is not my fault, the parent in charge of Scouting did not inform the non-scouting parent of the event by following proper procedure and putting it on the family calendar, so my painting went on the calendar first, however I cannot send him to the Derby with four kids, so, as usual, my plans are the ones being changed. No problem, my friend is a peach and said "great, what about Sunday?" Sunday works, no problem! So, this morning, Friday morning, my mom calls and has six tickets to the Playhouse Disney Live, one what day? Sunday. I did convince her to go with us and let Tom stay home and study for his class, but now I have to flake on my friend.

Twice in a week, not good for my track record! Do they sell some herb that is safe while nursing that will help my brain focus and go back to normal or do I just have to ride the Motherhood Train and hope it eventually comes back???
