Why are you asking ME?

I have many friends, but deserve NONE of them.  I'm serious, I am one of the worst friends.  Now, don't get me wrong, I don't steal their boyfriends/husbands, I don't curse them or talk about them behind their backs, and I don't leave them at the airport without rides.  I'm just forgetful.  Like, REALLY bad.
For example, I started this blog and I was excited about it.  I was putting it on Facebook and sending it to friends because I had this childlike excitement about my writing.  But then what do I do?  Forget to write.
Have you ever seen the movie "Up"?  In that movie, there's a dog that has a machine hooked to his neck that allows him to talk like a human.. and during his explanation of what the machine does, he sees a squirrel and stops midsentence, focuses his attention on the direction of the squirrel, and then comes back to the conversation.  Well, that's ME!  I am so forgetful that I'll forget what I'm talking about in the MIDDLE of a sentence.  And I have great friends who speak my kind of crazy and pull me back in to conversations.  Not only is this blog part of my group of things I forget, let me give you another example.
Yesterday a good friend of mine called that I haven't seen for a while.   She asked if my family would like to meet them for supper at Don Juan's tonight at 6pm.  I told Chad and was excited about seeing her again since it's been a while.  But today, I hung out at my house, put Ty down for a nap, go to the pool and plan on being there ALL evening... until my friend calls to confirm that we're meeting at 6pm. I HAD COMPLETELY FORGOT ALL ABOUT IT.  I quickly packed the kids up from the pool and headed for a lovely dinner with them.  
So if you want to be my friend, I apologize in advance for all the times I'm going to let you down by not knowing what you're talking about because I don't remember the conversation.  I'm sorry for the times you ask me to remind you something later...really?  You asked ME to remind you?  I'm sorry for forgetting your birthday until 1-2 days past it.  I'm sorry for not calling you back when I SWEAR I will.  I'm sorry for... SQUIRREL.... wait, what was I saying again?
