When's the Right Time to Have the Girl Talk with your Daughter?

A couple weekends ago, I was helping my daughter clean her room up...you know, organize and unclutter it. Well as I was doing this, I found one of my "light pads" lying on her floor with the adhesive side up???? What in the world???? So I asked her about it and she at first looked away and didn't want to answer, then she said "I thought they were for your feet?!" LOL! I about died! Seriously!!!!

I told Scott about this and he asked what I had told her they were used for. Of course not! I told her that these are mommy's and she is not to "play with them", they are off limits!

She'll be 9 in a month. When should I say something about what these pads are really used for and How??? This is a discussion I have not thought about at all! Eeks!!!!! I don't know what to say without confusing her. This is similar to the sex topic!

Am I Getting Old???? Or Just Losing It;)

So this morning I get a call from my Hubby stating no one was home at our babysitter's house???? Hmmm, I was shocked because I couldn't figure out why or what was going on and I was already at work. So I contact my babysitter, no answer! I text her.......she calls me back, and says ....... "Please tell me you didn't forget???" OOPS!!! I DID. I forgot she had to take her sister to her ultrasound today. Crap! So I had to do some scramblin' to find someone to watch my kid before my husband goes off the deep end with me. Thank goodness my sister-in-law was able to keep today. That was quick and short notice! Phew! Saved from being chewed out!

No need to get upset with my babysitter because she did tell me at the beginning of the month that she would not be able to watch my kid on this day......AND I FORGOT!!!! So am I getting old and forgetful or I'm just losing it?????
