Made her look

Dearra had a check up today. First thing she took off her jacket and shoes so they could weigh her and check her height. Then they check her pulse, blood pressure, temperature, hearing, vision, etc. They made her pee in a cup (fun), and all sorts of other fun stuff. Nothing much new except that she needs glasses. So we go to leave, and we can't find Dearra's jacket. And we know she brought it in, because she had to take it off when they weighed her. The nurse looks high and low for it. No jacket. So we walk out to the car, and I'm carrying my purse and jacket, and I realize, hey wait a minute, and look at the size on my jacket. Oops, it's Dearra's jacket. Mine is in the car. 
Bad me, made the nurse run all over looking for a jacket that I was actually holding. Dearra was a little annoyed at me I think. Hey so she can't see and I can't remember. We all have our flaws, right?

Isn't that terrible? It is like we get disoriented or something. I have had that happen. Call it a 'durr moment'. We do all have our flaws and idosyncrancies as well.

Poor nurse. I thought I lost my phone once. I was buying at a store and I pulled out my wallet and I was already holding my cellphone. I remember paying for the fee then put my wallet on my pocket then checked my other pocket for my phone and it wasn't there. I looked at the cashier with my brows up and she was pointing at my right hand with her lips. I looked and there it was, I was still holding it. I can remember two other stories. I guess we all get one of those from time to time.

LOL dawn,
It is like two peas in a pod. One can't see the other can't hear. Hey you both can help each other out like Ozzie and Harriet.
So you will help each other out in the future.

Looks around nervously: Flaws? Where? Not me! I am an example of a perfect pair of X chromosomes
What you did was nothing!!!! Picture this:
Last night. In bed. Good book. Reached for meds. No meds. Meds in office. Called security at work to put him on alert as he would have to get them out of my office as I am not getting dressed. Turned on all security lights. Leaves house in nightie.
Barrelling down road and cell rings. Next door neighbour asking if I was okay. Explained situation re meds. She said that she thought I was going on a hot date when she not only saw me leaving the house but it was obvious that I was not wearing a pantie
Asked to bail me if police stop me and ask me to get out of car.(She's a lawyer) Returned home. In bed. Cell rings. Neighbour said that I was back so fast that it must have only been a quickieNow what would Dearra say to that?

No, it's Alzheimer's when you don't even realize that you're forgetting something...

Oops.... You should have shook your hand, you would have heard them jingle.

Soo sad to reveal that "You're getting old" 
Poor nurse must have skipped one week's exercise routine ... dont you think she ran for too longer searching for jacket which was in safe hands

Ah but have you made somebody else look high and low when you were holding the item in your arms?

Yeah, not only is she older, but if the keys jingle, she can probably plead bad hearing.

Yeah, my Mom. I've had her check her purse, pockets, etc. for the keys to her van, because I swore she didn't give them to me. The whole time, they were in my hand AND neither of us noticed they were in my hand. She's 82...and I'm only 61, but we both tend to completely lose it now and then. I think she has more of an excuse than I do...

A sure sign that your child is growing up, you mistake her clothes for yours. Both of you are better off than I am. I can't remember and I cannot see either. It is good to get checked up on.

It's the one and only item that we each have one of. Anything else, it wouldn't have happened...

Yip we all could have little flaws, like me wearing my glasses and searching the whole house looking for it. I was scolded and made to remember the incident time and time again. I learnt never to forget something while wearing it

Silly mom!! Hee hee. Just don't tell the nurse or else they might charge you extra on that doctor bill - ha ha!! Scary when you can barely tell your clothing from your kids . . . my daughter is only 5 and now it's almost hard sorting out our socks in the laundry!!!

This happens to be the only item. I had bought the jacket at Old Navy and it was nice and warm, and when we went there looking for Dearra, it was the only one she liked that was in her size. Probably never again will we have exactly the same jacket (next year she'll have outgrown it, no doubt).
