Are there days where you forget to do something important?

This doesn't happen to me very often, as far as I know. If it does, then I have yet to remember the things that I forgot, LOL. I don't think that I can remember a time that I HONESTLY forgot.

Recently a woman came into my job looking for shoe boxes to use for Christmas at a local orphanage. For some reason the company itself will not give out empty boxes, so a friend of mine asked if I could bring some from home. I relented, but was a bit hesitant because she wanted 8 boxes and that meant having to walk with them for 20 minutes and then bring them on the bus. However, considering who was asking, of course, I said yes. The next day, I was waiting on another customer and it suddenly hit me that I had forgotten to bring the shoe boxes. I felt awful. When the woman showed up that evening, I apologized profusely, but I can't begin to tell you how guilty I felt. We agreed that I would bring them the next day and I did, but she never showed to pick them up. So, I still haven't been able to get over the guilt.

This is why I don't volunteer to help out at the school. The only thing I have volunteered for is to drive girls' to a basketball tournament that is within our small town. Because of my illness and inability to get up at a certain time in the mornings, I don't make commitments I'm pretty sure I can't keep. Forgetfulness is another one of my problems.

hello, maddysmommy. of course, i am a very consistently forgetful person. just last monday, a person volunteered to help me with my problem about some checks i have received. since i have been away for so long, i have not claimed them and thus have not encashed any at all. we were supposed to meet at three in the afternoon. too bad, i only remembered about the appointment when it was a little past two pm. since i can no longer show up at the appointed time, i had to call in cancel and request to move the date to wednesday next week. there are a lot more instances about my being so forgetful, even my sons get wary about it, too. very bad, right? i am the one being helped and yet, i am the one who have the guts to forget and put it off. well, it is never intentional. just explain your side to your son, he will understand.

Hi, How are you? Been a long time. Hope all is well. Yes, these things happen. I had a very important doctors appointment last week. And in the middle of the night, I remembered I had had a doctors appointment for my back. I had totally forgotten about it. And know I was a day to late. Next appointment will be in January know. My doctor does not like it when I forget these things. Oh well. Next time better. Take care.
