Forgetful

Any mother is already multi-tasking day and night to levels I never knew possible until I had children. Multi-tasking is the center of motherhood. But add in the hustle and bustle of the holidays and well, the multi-tasking and endless to do lists get taken to the extreme.

All the listing and to-doing makes me a bit forgetful of all the regular, every day stuff. Like, say for instance, where my children go to school.

Today, I drove the boys to school. After I passed right on by the entrance to their school, driving to some unknown destination, Brennan yelled out, "Mom, where are you going?"

Oops! I laughed and quickly turned down a side street. Rather than circle back, I decided to save a minute or two by attempting to sneak in the back entrance to the school.

Except - the back entrance is one way. And it is morning drop off time. Which means a whole lot of cars going the right way and me, all alone, trying to go the wrong way. Yes, not a good idea.

I abandon that plan, turn the car around yet again and head back to circle around the school to enter into the proper drop off driveway. As I am driving, I am laughing so hard, I literally have tears in my eyes. Over my chuckling, I mutter, more to myself than the boys, "This is just too funny!"

There is absolute silence in the back seat. After a moment Aidan says, "I do not find anything about this funny at all."

Alrighty then.
