It’s My Mommy Mind

contributed by Crystal

I feel like such a forgetful goofball sometimes. Can’t find my shoes half the time and it’s not always because my daughter took them for dressup. And of course they’re often right where I looked early on. How do they do that?

But the worst is when I start looking for something I’m already holding. Happens a lot with my car keys. They’re either in my hand already or so deep in my purse that I thinkI’ve reached into an alternate dimension to get them.

You know, that could explain a lot. Maybe it’s not ‘Mommy brain’. Maybe it’s the alternate realities playing tricks on me.

Kid Fashion

contributed by Ellen

A lot of the kids in my son’s preschool class are already getting concerned about their appearance. My kid? Not a chance!

He loves to dress himself, and it’s just so funny to see the results. Nothing matches, and he has no fear of his sister’s dressup clothes. I’m guessing I should be glad he hasn’t quite insisted on wearing those to school yet.

Boys clothes just don’t have the color range girls do, but its amazing how mixed up he can make them. Lime green shirt with red pants. And I didn’t know that different shades of blue could look so funny together.

But know what? I love it! He’s being himself and I don’t have to explain why we aren’t buying a particular name brand.

Can I keep him like that as a teen? Not the weird fashion, but lack of concern for name brands? Please?

The Sippy Black Hole

contributed by Linda

I have a love-hate thing for sippy cups. They save so much mess, but they wander the house so! And it seems like I can only find them about half the time. I just have this image in my mind of a sippy black hole, whence they disappear, only to reappear days later under the couch, in a stack of toys, or wherever I find that cup filled with congealed milk or rancid apple juice.

They’re out there. Just waiting to be discovered. Anyone want to record the Sippy Cup Files?
