Out of the running

I've never claimed to be mother of the year, but just in case my kids thought I was in the running I've really managed to dispel it in the last 24 hours! My brain is apparently on overload because I've lacked in several important "mommy moments". The first was yesterday afternoon. As I was waiting on my children to arrive home from school in the steady rain, I realized I had neglected to make sure they had taken umbrellas to school with them. Oops! Fortunately, being kids, they didn't mind terribly much. This morning I remind HT to go up and get dressed and he comes back and tells me that he is out of underwear. I go up to double-check, and sure enough it seems I'm way behind in laundry! The worst though, involved my daughter. She lost a tooth at school yesterday, and the tooth fairy FORGOT! This has happened to her before so she was fairly philosophical about it, but as the person who is supposed to "call the tooth fairy", I felt very badly.
