Do you ever have one of those moments when you think "I'm losing it" and you get this sudden feeling of dread?

Well, I did this morning. I was getting ready to go to work. I put Jack and Marina in the kitchen, was giving them their cookies and turning on NPR for their listening pleasure for the day, when all of a sudden, I looked at my "Believing in Ourselves" page a day calendar. It said Wednesday, April 2, so I boldly tore off the page and had it displaying today, April 3rd.

That's when I quit believing in myself! Wait a minute, it's not Thursday, it's Wednesday. Or is it? That's when the dreaded "I'm losing it" feeling began. There was a sudden feeling of anxiety, as I thought, how, right now, do I find out exactly what day it is? I turned around to look at the monthly John Lennon calendar that I have hanging on my pantry door. OK, I know it's not April 1st...that was a given. But looking at the whole 30 days in April didn't give me any better clue as to whether this was the 2nd or the 3rd.

So I just walked out the door and drove to work, still not knowing whether I had 2 days until the weekend or just 1. After firing up my computer, I said a quick prayer "Outlook, don't fail me now!" and quickly learned that it was indeed Thursday April 3rd. I had been right all along and should have trusted my actions (to rip off Wednesday) and my instincts (that it was Thursday). But it still made me feel creepy.

I checked with a couple of my co-workers and they all agreed that this has happened to them, so I feel better now.

And I'm also attributing part of my brain 'fart' to having a clear calendar this week. Oh yeah, I had the usual work, but I had no evening meetings or extra curricular activities planned, so each day just kind of blended into the next.

I'll not let that happen again! I'll have my girl call your girl and we'll do lunch!
