Forgetfulness is FRIGHTFUL!

So.....everybody has little memory lapses now and then, right?  Right? 

I love this time of year.  Love, love, love the feel of Autumn in the air.  Even if it is 90 degrees.  There’s still an air of Fall in the air, dammit!!

This guy loses his head a lot. No, not from too much hard cider - every time the wind blows, his head falls off. Poor fellow.  

So I dragged all my cutesy little Halloween decorations out to decorate my house.  I noticed that some items weren’t lighting up any more like they’re supposed to, so I dismantled one or two and discovered they each need 3 teeny tiny little batteries.  I cleverly stashed them in a sandwich baggy to take with me to the store so I would remember to buy them.

A day or two went by, and I couldn't find the baggy, but I just scratched it off as a moment of forgetfulness.  It was probably accidentally tossed out when I was cleaning the kitchen.

You know, I like to think that I’m a good mom, making the house festive and cozy, cooking meals for my son, packing him his lunch every day.  But just when you think you’ve got this mom stuff down, kids always find a way to point out some glaring flaws.

Spooky, hey, hey alright....

I was having a great day, feeling pretty good about myself, when my son texted me this picture.  The text underneath said, “WHY??”

What's wrong with this picture? 
A little battery acid puts hair on your teeth, builds character! 
Oh by the way, this sandwich was made with LOVE
(and batteries)

I really wasn’t trying to poison my son with battery acid.  It’s just one of those things – a senior moment?  Or something.   Everybody does stuff like that.  Right???

Of course you realize, I do these funny little things so I can write about them and you won't be so jealous of me. Is it working?
Please, feel free to share stupid thing you've done lately.  I won't mind!  Really!
