A severe case of mommy brain

Yesterday, I came down with a severe and concerning case of mommy brain that I hope clears up rather quickly.

Robin and I left the house midday to visit some friends and were gone about six hours. We have a one car garage and narrow driveway, so we often have to swap the order of our cars. We decided to take my car because we needed the GPS. It was first in the driveway, so Robin moved his car to the street. While he was moving the car, I put Harper in the car, and pulled back to pick Robin up and we were on our way.

When we returned home, we were both jolted by adrenaline when we looked at the house and noticed that the front door was open and all of the lights were turned on. Harper and I stayed in the car while Robin investigated the situation.

It turns out that my mommy brain interfered when we were leaving and I completely forgot to turn out lights, close the front door and lock it! Luckily, everything was just as we left it.

Hopefully this case of mommy brain clears up soon... who knows what could happen next?!

Just a reminder that you don't have to have a newborn to have "mommy brain"--I still suffer from it occasionally!
