Forget About It! You're Crazy!

I had to start with that song!  Before anyone fusses at me for the lyrics of it or the premise of the song, don't.  I don't know any of the lyrics other than "Forget you!" LOL  I just like the beat of the song and to be honest, don't we all just want to say "Forget you!" sometimes??

Today's blog is a double blog, so to speak.  It's not about telling someone "Forget you".  Instead, it's about actually forgetting them....and forgetting your first date, or where you left your keys, or what you were going to the store for!

Yes, this is MY cartoon!  It's NOT my age!!  It's my LIFE that makes me forgetful! Ha!  You would think that with only two kids at home and having a dream job would make life easier and less confusing.  Nope!!  That's not the way it works with me!

Oh yes.  It's that bad.  You can ask my husband.  Bless his heart, he's shaking his head every day!  I think sometimes, though, he is taking advantage of my forgetfulness.  He will tell me that he has said something and I just know good and well that he never said it.  I think.  Gosh.  And it's going to get worse???  YIKES!!

 Yes.  I've done the sticky notes.  The problem that I have found with the sticky notes is forgetting where you have PUT them!!

I can relate to this one, as well.  Thankfully, my phone has reminders!  And Facebook is AWESOME for helping me to remember special events, birthdays, and just about everything else!

I do worry that there is an underlying problem, though.  Is it normal to forget as much as I am forgetting?






My mother was unmedicated bipolar with manic depression.  Wow!  That is a mouthful!  Living with this illness was tough.  I feel so sorry for what battles she went through in her head.  I have read that bipolar disorder is hereditary.  YIKES!  So maybe the people that I keep locked in my head really shouldn't be there?  Uh oh!

 I LOVE this cartoon!  I feel that I am that bear sometimes.  It's really funny to look at it, but it's not funny to live through it.  


I have a fear of sinking in to the place that my mother was.  However, I have prepared for it.  My husband has strict instructions to do whatever necessary to make sure that I can live as close to a normal life as possible.  I can be that bear posing as a penguin.

I most definitely have a Jekyll and Hyde hidden inside of me.  But Mrs. Hyde isn't bad.  She's just incredibly silly. She doesn't get to come out too often.  Occasionally the kids get to see her.  They can still have fun and don't look at me like I am totally NUTS!  And ever so often you will get a glimpse of Mrs. Hyde on Facebook.  I let her out there more often than not.

This is what I feel more often than anything else.  I feel alone, tired, depressed, ready to just stay in bed and not have to deal with anything or anyone.  

Fortunately, I still have enough sanity left to pull myself out of it and stay among the normal people.  Right?  I'm still normal, huh?



Perhaps there is a reason that I have always had the words to this song floating around in my head! LOL

I'll leave you with this... enjoy!
