You are not going to believe what just happened to me. I was sitting here, working on a completely different blog post, and I was sort of thinking about things (as I am wont to do) that have been on my mind lately. Projects at ThePlaceThatShallNotBeNamed, the weather, projects I need to work on this weekend, and things like going out on dates.
See, my Insignificant Other and I have been talking about me finding a babysitter so that we could go out a little more often. (Which, really wouldn’t be hard because we haven’t gone out at all lately.) Finding a babysitter is an entirely different post, but my mind soon wandered from who I could pimp for some recommendations to where exactly I would go on a date. From there, my mind went to where I would go to dinner tomorrow, because I was considering the possibility of taking some comp time and leaving a little early. If I did that, we wouldn’t need a babysitter since the girls are going to their dad’s tomorrow night for dinner. So, theoretically, I could leave early and meet my IO for an early dinner. Since I’d have to be back at my house by 7 p.m. to meet the girls, we couldn’t go anywhere too fancy. So I was thinking of casual places to eat.
That’s when it hit me. I was concentrating for a minute on the blog at hand, and then my mind darted back to dinner. Ooh! I know the perfect place! I thought. O’Connors! That’s where we should go! I bet he hasn’t been there and I could…show him…my…favorite… Yeah, that’s when it hit me. O’Connors is from back home. In MASSACHUSETTS! I forgot where I was for a moment. A long moment. I thought I was in a completely different state where I have never lived while I had these children of mine and where I have never been with my IO! What was I thinking?!
I have no explanation for my temporary loss of faculties other than it’s been a long week and I only got 6 hours of sleep last night. (During which I spent almost an entire hour tracking a tornado warning and moving a mattress into my closet.) So. I could be exhausted. Or very quickly losing my marbles. Either way.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! awwww katie your too young to be doing that. and the girls are too young for me to explain silly old people to them! lol i think the idea of getting to go out and having to get a babysitter was so fantastical that your mind just went with it and in your fantasy you get to eat wherever you damn please!….even if hundreds and hundreds miles away. lol! so in fantasy mode-your mind made a perfectly logical decision…[still giggling]
