Well earlier today I tried to put my son’s waffle in the knife block thinking it was the toaster, and then later on I yelled at a fruit fly that was bothering me and told it to go play. So yeah things are fine, I’m fine.

I’d like to give a shout out to the adorable young woman in the drive thru line at @ChickfilA for handling my #mombrain moment like a pro.

Me: Hi! I’d like an avocado lime ranch…🤦🏼‍♀️
Her: Would you like a salad with your dressing?

Walked up to my front door. Took out car keys. Pointed car keys at my front door and hit the unlock button. Did not work. #Mombrain. 😳

There are two boys at my kids’ preschool who are perfectly put together. Their hair is combed and I hear they eat veggies. Today their mom called me frantic. She forgot school was closed and had a meeting. She asked me to watch them for a bit.

Welcome to the momsquad, Karen.
