The other evening after dinner, I was walking the boys around the block. It was pretty warm out and they were moving slowly. My mind always goes in a hundred different directions while we take these strolls. I thought about my job search, agility, why doesn't that house ever mow their yard?, etc. One of the thoughts that popped in was that after feeding the boys their dinner, I had forgotten to get their breakfast out to thaw. It is very easy to forget to do that and then morning comes along and we have a frozen solid lump of meat. So there I am, out for a walk, remembering I need to thaw the next meal, with no way to write myself a note. I didn't have my cell phone either so I couldn't set an alarm or type a reminder either. Knowing myself, it was almost certain I would forget again before I got home (
darn those middle age brains!).
So how does one set up a reminder in this situation? I thought about the old "tie a string around your finger" trick......
But alas, I didn't have any string with me either. Why would I?.......Then it occurred to me!
I have plenty of poop bags (
clean empty ones, of course!) tucked into my pockets.......
It did the trick! When I got home, I ran downstairs to the freezer and got the food out to thaw!
