Have you ever had one of those days where you just feel like you are kicking butt at the whole parent/spouse/adult role? You know the days…everything feels organized and you are on top of things, almost like you had an extra shot of espresso in your coffee. Maybe it’s just me, but it never ceases to fail that when I am really feeling myself something tends to happen that knocks me down a peg. I like to call them “humbling moments,” but really they are just plain old embarrassing. Please share in my humorous misery.
Some days you think you are killing it and then…
Your child licks the floor at the zoo.
You notice that the baby/toddler you are holding is eating a chicken nugget and you have no idea where it came from. Seriously, we did not eat chicken nuggets that day.
After standing in line for 15 minutes to return something at Advance Autoparts, the clerk informs you that the product was originally purchased from Auto Zone.
After looking in a mirror, you discover poppyseeds in your teeth after conversing with your child’s ABA therapist.
You realize that you put your 12-18 month baby shorts on your 3 1/2 year old.
You spot your missing car keys in the middle of the busy road outside of your neighborhood while driving to your next appointment.
Haha I love this. Reminds me of when I had won a poker game with our friends, bragged about how I took all their money, and continued to brag until I slipped on ice outside their door. Lol!
I was killing it as the fun mom that let’s their kid splash in the tub (curtain closed, of course) but then the wet, slippery 2 year old fell out of my hands and knocked his front tooth out. Better yet, 6 months later our brand new pediatrician asked him, “What happened to your tooth?” and he just says matter of factly, “My mommy threw me.”
