Embarrassing moments

The other day, after racing to take my 3 young kids for flu shots & running a whole bunch of errands, in the pouring rain, including picking up my youngest daughter's frozen icecream cake for her upcoming party, we eventually arrived back home & couldn't find the cake. After much searching & confusion on my part, I discovered it; still on the roof of my minivan where I'd evidently "temporarily" placed it with too much in my hands & having to buckle the kids into their seats! Good job I'm a steady driver!!

There are many. But the one that comes to mind is when I raced Parker around the house and peed my pants. She’s FAST, so I had to kick it into high gear. I need to do more kegal exercises.

My most embarrassing moment came about two years ago when Zachary was three. I was dropping him off at preschool on a beautiful October day. Because of the amazing weather, it seemed like everyone was outside the front doors that day, chatting, laughing and just enjoying the weather. As we approached the crowd of women, I noticed a little boy playing. He couldn’t have been more than two. Cute as a button, but with a huge, dark birthmark marring the entire left side of his face. I looked down at Zachary to see if he noticed anything and his eyes were fixated on that little guy. I could see that he was curious, but I was all about avoiding that particular situation. So, I grabbed his hand to steer him around the group. In the OPPOSITE direction from the kid. He didn’t object and we were just about past the danger when, without warning, Zachary wrenched his hand from mine and ran directly over to the kid. “Excuse me little man’, he shouted (because Zachary only has one volume setting – ridiculously loud), “excuse me, but you have something chocolately all over your face!” Then he proceeded to try and wipe it off. At that moment, I wished that the ground would open up and swallow me whole. Everyone was looking at me and my ill mannered child. There was nothing to do, I murmured, ‘I’m so, so sorry’ and slunk away.
