reason #94 why i think i might be a bad mom: sometimes i get so into what i’m writing that i forget that i put cookies in the oven and i don’t even think about it until the entire kitchen is filled with smoke.
I’ve done that with pizza and balancing my checkbook, and having the smoke alarm yank me out of my concentration. And yes, I find my children yelling “MOM!!!!” because I am trying to read a paragraph, hear the end of an article on NPR or catching the final do over on the last five minutes of Changing Rooms. Be glad you can take a bath without interruptions, it’s something that has escaped me for the last few years, except when they’re corralled at pre and elementary school.
