Have You Ever Had That Feeling...

...Like you're supposed to be doing something, but can't quite remember what it is?

Yeah, that's how I feel right now...

Maybe it's because for the last two weeks, I have been constantly moving...whether it's housework, or driving all over the city running errands for my husband and kids...making cupcakes, fixing veggies for the Brownie/Sparks Halloween party and the Grade 1 "Friendship Lunch"...

What is a "friendship" lunch you might ask? Damned if I know...best I can figure out is that the kids tell their parents what food to bring in, we set it up for them in the hallway (no cafeteria in a Catholic school built in the 1950's before full funding), help feed them and then leave again while the kids go outside to play...maybe it's to help us adults make new friends?

I dunno...what I do know is that there was a ton of food there...and whoever thought so many vegetables were going to be needed for a group of kids when there was a full table of sugary goodies either has children who like veggies (I've heard they actually exist, although to my knowledge I haven't met any who prefer carrots to cupcakes) or doesn't live in the real world...

I also know that the other parents looked at me like I was some kind of lunatic as I passed by the buns, crackers, sushi and deli meats and loaded my plate with veggies (see? There was a reason for forty pounds of them after all...) and fruit...dang celiac disease strikes again...

I never did feel like I fit in anywhere when I was in school...today was no exception...but at least I'm old enough to not care anymore...

Look at me, I'm growing...
