Confessions of a Mindless Mother

So, today was a pretty good day, all in all, minus a couple of minor incidents. Feel free to laugh (at) with me. The first one occured when Barrett and I pulled into the YMCA parking lot (the girls are at VBS). I'm in a hurry to get to cycle class, jump out of the car and grab Barrett. After being at the Y over 2 hours, I hear over the loud speaker, "There's a Chevy Venture that's running and has been for at least an hour!" I know this is my car! A lady in the motor gym offers to watch Barrett while I go check. Sure enough, the old Venture has been sitting in the parking lot with the keys in it, unlocked and running for over 2 hours! I can't believe no one drove off with it! Had just enough gas to get me to the nearest gas station. I guess I couldn't be bothered to turn the car off in my mad rush. I will confess that I've done this once before, but locked the car with the keys in while it was running. I was much younger when that happened! The other fun thing about today is that I ran to the grocery store all by myself. I wanted to make it quick so I could get home and help Steve put the kids to bed. I guess I was a little too quick b/c when I got home, I noticed I was missing a bag! Ugh! So, I had to make the trip back to the store to retrieve it. Seriously, where was my mind?? In too much of a hurry, I guess....Ah, well, something to give everyone a little giggle. :)
