I almost went to the grocery store in my slippers today. This is not the first time I have gotten out of the house and into the car wearing my slippers. They’re just so comfortable! I’m just so oblivious!
Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that it takes a great deal of mental energy to get out of the house with The Toddler in tow. Gotta make sure she has HER shoes on, gotta make sure she’s got a coat on, gotta make sure she has something to keep her busy… the list goes on.
I put all my focus on her and then totally forget about whatever it is that I’m doing. I’m Parent of The Year, right here.
Oh, my, you have had a run of it. My husband teases me that I always take the keys when I take out the trash at night, even when he is in the house, but I know if I ever once leave them behind, it will be the day the kids are in the house, naked, waiting for their bath, and a strong wind blows the door shut.
