Where Is My Mind?

I suppose when the Pixies wrote "Where is my Mind?", they weren't talking about motherhood, but it certainly fits. Between multi-tasking and two all-consuming toddlers, things can get mixed up.

For example, this week I:

• put leftover carrots in the plate cupboard
• put the coffee pot in the fridge
• called my son by the dog's name...more than once
• caught myself describing the kids show "Yo Gabba Gabba" to a friend on the phone ("then they have Dancey Dance time....")
• cringed when I heard myself say my high-pitched, enthusiatic "Good Job" toddler mantra to a friend as she negotiated the stroller down our porch.
  (......thanks to all of my patient friends!)
• and my husband was surprised when I put the cheese in the butter compartment...at least it's in the fridge.
