If you've followed this blog, you should be well aware of my absentmindedness.
Well, it seems it runs in the family. My brother trumps me in this category.
We decided to take turns mowing the lawn out of Dad's. I volunteered for June (get it over with was my thinking). However, I'm the only one without a riding lawn mower. Late last week he left a message stating that the lawn mower was just inside his garage if I wanted to use it to go out to Dad's and mow.
Well, Saturday and Sunday were busy. Monday was dreadful. Tuesday was another busy day. Wednesday I had Kenzie. I decided to make a special arrangement to send Kenzie to day care on Thursday so I could get Dad's lawn mowed.
So the night before I called over to Kev's and talked to his wife, Deann, who asked if I needed Kevin to leave the pick up, which has the ramps Kevin uses to load the lawn mower.
I said no since I could use Casey's - just make sure Kevin leaves the ramps for me.
I should have known better! I mean Kevin was the one who I asked a few years ago to come over and water and feed our cats while we visited Kristie's father in South Dakota over Easter. He forgot! So the cats were left without water for at least three days! Oh yeah, and they pissed in our stove. But that's another story.
Still, I should have known better!
Yesterday I stopped over to Kev's. I filled up a container with gas, updated my iPod, grabbed the mosquito spray. I was all ready.
However, upon entering his garage, I saw the lawn mower but no ramps.
So I knocked on the door and Deann, to no one's surprise, said the Kev forgot to leave the ramps before he took the truck to work!
I should have known better!

You need to clarify the title of this article! It should read, "Runs in the MALE side of the family!"
One other thing: You could have always gotten another container of gas and DRIVEN the lawnmower out to Dad's! That would have been a blog post in and of itself!
