Things to remember (a mother’s memoir):
Birthdays, Social Security numbers, Anniversaries, shirt sizes, shoe sizes, underwear, pants, which brand changes all the clothes sizes, Favorite color, best friend, biggest fear, where the “lovies” are, the perfect laundry/softener/dryer sheet combo, which flavor of popsicles is the best, what they really want from Santa, doctors appointments, which tooth the last cavity was in, allergic reactions to medicine, allergic reactions to food, allergic reactions to putting the dishes away, lyrics to Disney songs, all the words from the favorite bed time book, where the smallest piece of a Lego was last seen, I forgot the rest….
Multiply this by the amount of children one has since it is different for each. Add 1 for a husband if present. Multiply by amount of extended family members if you are the unofficial social director for them.
Whats left? I dont remember what size shirt I wear. When I want to sit back and relax on the weekend and have a quiet 3 minutes to myself drinking a Bahama Mama, well, theres no way I can find the cocktail book anymore, that shelf was taken over by all the home improvement books and Dr. Seuss. I could go on the internet, but will be bombarded by all the emails telling me when the next play date is. I could ask the Mr. to do it, but he always makes it taste like gasoline.
What I need is a built in recipe book right into a measuring cup. Like this Digital Cocktail Bartender with 40 recipes. No remembering, thinking, over pouring! I can get a perfect mixture every time which ensures there is no over indulgence when I drink responsibly at the bridge club.
Get one. Put on some noise cancelling headphones and listen to your favorite Pod Cast and let the day wash away. Enjoy it folks. You deserve it.

Hey can I use some of the material found in this post if I link back to you?
