The Mind of a Mommy

Tonight's events illustrate what it's like to have the brain of a mommy.

Preheated oven.
Told boys to go to bed, but that we would have cookies for snack tomorrow.
Put cookies in oven.
Did dishes, talked to Jeff about logistics of the move, bounced baby, etc.
Wondered why on Earth the oven was on.
Turned oven off.
Some time later... wondered, "Wasn't I going to make cookies?"
Looked into oven to find barely baked cookies.
Turned on oven.
Cleaned up until Jeff convinced me to just sit and watch a movie.
Watched 20 minutes of movie.
Smelled horrible smell from kitchen.
Remembered the solid black burned to a crisp cookies.
Sigh.
Continue watching movie.
Interrupted twice, as each boy emerged from the upstairs to ask about horrible smell.
Sigh.
