I am both Mother of the Year and a Genius

I put on rice and went to read blogs play with my baby.

I heard a boiling noise.

I remembered that I put rice on and went to check on it. Whoops.

It was bad. It was not as bad as this, but it was not good.

Nothing was damaged, but I had to start the rice over again.

While I was in the kitchen, I left my baby alone with my laptop and my slurpee.

When I remembered this fact, I ran back to the den to find Liliana flicking blue slurpee on the keyboard.

Awesome. (Noah. Breathe. In. Out. Repeat.)

When the rice was back on, I remembered that Liliana was supposed to be having her evening nap. She went down 15 minutes late (which is okay in the morning and afternoon, but not that swell in the evening.)

As I came back down the stairs after tucking her in, I remembered again about the rice. It was boiling. It was okay. I put a lid on it and turned it to low.

Like I said, I’m a genius. And Mother of the Year.

StumbleUpon It!

    Oh yeah, I remember those days. I boiled pots dry several times in the first 18 months of my PB’s life. And locked the keys in the car, one time with her in it. My theory is that they get their brain cells by stealing ours.
