This is just toooo funny! Your blog is such a delight to read. Intending to bring you a smile, here's a little story that will clearly prove that you ae not alone! A few weeks ago I listened to my voice mail messages while I was writing the list for my housekeeper, and thinking of what ingredients I needed for a new recipe I wanted to try. After listening to a few messages, the next was from my Mother. After she stopped talking, I replied. When she didn't answer me back, I said 'Mom, Mom??' Still no reply. I promptly called her and when she answered I said 'Hi Mom, I guess we must've been disconnected.' There was a pause and she replied "We couldn't have been disconnected because we weren't talking." I thought she was having a senior moment and said 'Yes, Mom we were. You were saying ... and I told you ..." Then she said to me "The last time we talked on the phone was at 10:00 p.m. last night." She went on to tell me that what I had just repeated to her was a message she had left on my voice mail. Then it dawned on me. I had been so lost in thought that I verbally replied to her voice mail, thinking she was we were actually on the phone at the time. Heehee! OMGosh! Who was having a senior moment? This senior who won't even be considered a senior for another near-15 years! Heehee! Needless to say, now she has "one on me" and I'll never be able to live that one down. In fact, I can already hear her telling that story at the next family get-together. Unless of course, she forgets by then. Hahaha! :)Gabbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040333894048257419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-67132606471639031502011-11-11T16:01:34.706-05:002011-11-11T16:01:34.706-05:00Remember how sane you felt a few days ago?

It might not be as fast as you'd like for it to be, but it will pass.<br /><br />The year we moved....Hurricane Ivan destroyed most of the houses in our neighborhood...ours was one of the few that survived with only minimal damage (over $10,000, but still minimal compared to some). Our area generally has 6-7 thousand houses on the market at any given time...after Ivan, there were less than 1500 houses on the market - ours being one of them. We had 6-7 visits a day from prospective buyers. We had started building a house just 3 months prior to Ivan hitting the Gulf Coast...so we also had to wait for the builders to get back to work on our house (supplies were VERY difficult to obtain because of the storm). All we could do is hope and pray that the house where we were living (for over 24 years...just imagine the STUFF we had) didn't sell BEFORE our new house was complete.<br /><br />It's truly a day to day thing....our house sold and the new owners allowed us to rent from them for 1 month until we could move into our new home...timing...it's all about timing.<br /><br />And remember...THIS TOO SHALL PASS...<br /><br />Cyber hugs to you, Susan!!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08026661239520689778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-64633603801272503362011-11-09T11:54:21.717-05:002011-11-09T11:54:21.717-05:00Breathe.
