Where did I leave my brain?

I'm really starting to wonder if I left what little brain I had in our old house. I just don't seem to think very well. At first I blamed it on moving and being preoccupied but there is no excuse for my latest. Get ready to laugh.

So we have talked for a month that Mark's birthday is coming up. He will be 1. That's nice. I won't see him on his b-day so I don't have to do a cake or anything. Then I was talking to Mike's Mom Sat and she mentioned that she had sent Mark a b-day card. That made me think. I said, "Oh, I guess I need to send Mark a b-day card too". About an hour later it hit me. I really should send Mark a b-day present. That thought had never crossed my mind before then. So I frantically searched the aisles of Wal-Mart for the perfect presents for Mark. (I guess it is part of the 2nd child syndrome. And yes, I owe Mark a quilt. And then there is #3. Maybe I will neglect that one right from the beginning so he/she knows where we stand right from the beginning.)

This leads to the next story. There were items on 2 aisles that I was interested in. I found 4 things that I was interested in, but I needed to narrow it down to 1 item. I pondered my decision as I wandered through the other toy aisles. I made my decision for the perfect toy for Mark.

Then I decided to get him a bath toy to go with his other toy. I had seen the bath toys earlier and remember where they were on the aisle and I thought I knew which aisle they were on, but I couldn't find them. I looked on other aisles and still couldn't find the bath toys. I looked and looked but there were NO bath toys. I soon realized what had happened..........some employees had gone in and removed ALL the bath toys from the shelf. I said that I was going to look one more time and that was it. I was sure Mark was not getting a bath toy. Then all of a sudden the bath toys were back on the shelf. Yep, the employees had hurried and put them back when they realized that I was done with their game. (Of course I didn't see the employees move the bath toys.) And here is the real corker........ next to the bath toys was the perfect toy for Mark. So I put my other choice away and got him a bath toy and this other toy. (I can't tell you what it was yet because Mark might read this and I don't want to spoil the surprise for him.)

I will work at getting house pictures posted soon. If my brain starts working again.
