The Mommy Mind

I think mom's are entitled to certain things.  Girl time with friends, massages, pretty flowers, etc.  I also think mom's are entitled to a little leeway when they do things that are completely stupid. I didn't realize this until I became a mom, but I swear some of my brain cells died during childbirth.

Do I really have to say it?

This is me. 

For instance (this was actually while I was pregnant): 

I went shopping with the MIL. While approaching the checkout, I try to scope out which checkout lanes would be the quickest.  While I'm looking, I hear this old lady to the side of me talking to this girl saying "you can come over here, sweetie. This way, sweetie. Sweetie..." And then I realized that she was an employee and she was talking to ME, directing me to her lane. Ugh.  AND THEN after she rang up over $100 worth of groceries, I realized that I forgot to give her the freaking coupons. AND THEN she told me that I accidentally included something that could not be purchased with my WIC checks. So I had my MIL run and replace it with something that I thought could replace it. AND THEN she told me that the new item didn't count either. My poor MIL got some great exercise in the store that day. 

So last night, I am texting my dad about egg rolls. Right before I send the text, I realize that I had spelled "egg roles" and I almost didn't catch it. 

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME????  Something tells me that "The Mommy Mind" is going to be an ongoing series of blog posts. 

Don't worry. I still think he's worth it. :)
