Confessions

So I usually post about the funny things my kids say and do. This time I'm going to post a few of the funny things I do sometimes, just to keep it fair. Stupid might be a better word. I can't believe I'm about to admit how ditsy and spacey I can be.

The other day when it was raining and muddy outside the kids had escaped from the house. I had a few kids over. Eight under the age of 4 to be exact. Anyway I went outside to yell at them to get back in because I didn't want them to get muddy and then come track it through the house. I caught Elly right before she was about to venture out into the mud and told her to get back inside. I then asked her in what might have been a heated voice, "Now where's Ragan!" She kind of looked at me funny. Actually she looked at me like I was crazy and wasn't quite sure how to answer the question. She pointed at me and said, "right there." I looked to my side and behind me. Not there. So I ask her again, "where!" She then replies, "mom your holding her". Oh, yep there she is. Ha ha. It's true, I'm pretty much losing it. I'm pretty sure that's one of those hereditary defects.

Another time, probably around the same time because I remember that it was raining again, I went to my moms to pick up my kids. I loaded Elly and Ragan and then went back for the baby. I loaded Mallory and got in the car. The passenger side if you wanted to know. I just sat there waiting for.....what? Good question. Elly says, "What are you doing mom?" Ummmm, I don't know. Realizing what I did I got out and got in the driver side because we could have been sitting there a long time since I was alone! Sheesh. I felt really stupid even though there was no one there to witness it, except my kids of course.

I do equally stupid ALL the time. It's really going to be scary if I'm doing this kind of stuff in my 20's to imagine what I'm going to be like at 50. Heck, at this rate, 30's aren't looking that promising either. My kids are going to have a lot fun making fun of me in their teenage years.
