Someone please remind me that I'm a mom!!!

You would think that 6 weeks after the fact that I would know this, but I apparently don't.
How many times have I left the house without a diaper bag? Pretty much every time that I have left the house. When I took Tru to the doctor a few weeks ago they had me strip him down to weigh him, and as I'm taking his diaper off I realize that I have no diaper bag, and here he is with a dirty diaper and I have no replacement. Good thing that the doctor had some on hand, then she reminded me that he isn't potty trained yet.

Then we went to the Bass Pro Shop and they were selling hot dogs. So we got some, and I wander over to get some mustard and ketchup and Trent says, "Ummmm, where is the boy." Ya, I hate to admit this one but I wandered away from the stroller to get some ketchup. HELLO!!!! What mother would do that.

Then this is the clincher. I wanted to get a new dress to wear when we bless Tru. So I picked out one that I like, ordered it, am looking forward to feeling cute again in a cute dress. A few days later I realize that this dress I probably can not wear. Why??? Take a look....

Anything raise a red flag? Yes this is a beautiful dress, I love the green color and the cute neckline, but how on earth and I suppost to breast feed my hungry boy in church while wearing this dress without pulling the whole thing up????? I can't believe that I didn't think about that. I'm sure that the other mothers in the mothers lounge wont appreciate me pulling my whole outfit off to feed my baby, and I'm not sure that I can adjust the neckline to make it work the other way.... Sigh.

Like I said, I am not thinking in mother mode, maybe I'll have it figured out by the third or fourth kid.
