My friend, we’ll just call her Angela, went to work yesterday wearing these shoes:
Not only are these shoes vastly different in shape, you should also note that one is a brown boot, while the other - black. Luckily, Angela was able to turn this misfortune into a tale of triumph, seizing the opportunity to run to Macy’s and buy these more appropriate - very cute shoes.
You all know I am not immune to these sorts of stress and sleep-deprivation induced moves. But, because I believe in equality, I refuse to call this phenomenon “mommy brain”. Indeed, hubs leaves the house at least twice weekly without his glasses or wallet. So what do we call this? And, please, let “Angela” know she’s not alone … tell us your best fuzzy parent brain story.

6: So, dad, was there a lot of damage to grandma and grandpa’s house?
Hubs: I’m not sure yet, bud, but everybody’s ok. That’s what’s important.
4: Is grandpa ok?
Hubs: Grandpa has a couple owies, but he’s just fine.
6: Did he stop, drop and roll?
Hubs: He must’ve. Yep.
Kong: Did three firemen come to grandpa house?
Hubs: I don’t know how many, but the firemen did come, yep.
6: Grandpa must have called 9-1-1, just like he’s supposed to.
4: No. Grandpa’s kinda old. Old people just use Life Alert.

Big Idea: Taking time off from the Internet will free up time to make the holidays a picture of Rockwellian perfection.
Real Life: After all three kids finally recover from the stomach flu, I spend hours making a huge, memorable Christmas meal only to have them consume four pickles and a bun.
Yes, I successfully managed to avoid the Internet for a whole month. Yes, I have returned to reading and posting, and, yes, I have a detailed report in the hopper, but it’s on a portable drive I left at work. I know you are waiting with bated breath, but, patience people.
Happy New Year!
