My new mantra

I forget lots of stuff.  It definitely is the story of my life for the moment.  My partner told me some “very important” stuff about our finances yesterday. She asked if I was listening.  I said I was and I know I was listening but for the life of me I can’t remember what she said today. 

I think I put if down to be a working Mum but I think perhaps that’s just an excuse.  If it’s not on my list of things to do or on the calendar it doesn’t exist because my brain is full.  Full of what.........well I’m not quite sure.  My partner would say crap and that I rely on her to remember all of those important things.  But why would I retain stuff that she knows. 

My partner is definitely the other part of me.  She starts where I finish.  I know little of our finances.  I know how much we have and that we earn enough to pay bills but that is where my knowledge finishes and starts.  I know I should be interested and take on some of the responsibility but I just don’t care.

When I asked my 4 year old last week what a friend’s mother was called he said he didn’t know.  He said “Come on Mum remember.  Breathe in, breathe out and think”.  Great advice!  My new mantra!
