People, I tell ya, I’m really climbing the ranks of world’s most clumsy/forgetful/absent minded mother on the planet.

My sister always says when things go just plain wrong over and over that “mars is in retrograde”. I’ve since been blaming mars daily for my faux pas.

Allow me to bring you a little comic relief:

Yesterday the fam and I were headed out for some errands, and since I had barely looked in the mirror all day I decided to slick down my poof (oh, gosh, that’s a whole other story, by the way) with some gel.

I’ve been on a real energy saving kick lately, like stringing up my wet laundry rather than use the dryer and not wanting to turn on the lights if I can help it. So with a little light coming in from the bathroom window I figured I could see pretty well. I opened up the medicine cabinet and grabbed the gel, which is in a can, that Bed Head kind I think, (it’s really my Hubby’s, I don’t like the stuff much, but back to the story)…

After application of said gel, I walked to the bedroom passing the view of the living room, where Hubby sat on the couch.

(Chuckles heard coming from couch)

“Babe, what’s in your hair?”

“Gel,” (duh) “Why?”

“Why is it white?”

… slowly the pieces fall back into place… the bathroom… the dim lighting… the can of…. of… NO, it can’t be… the can of SHAVING CREAM!

Thank GAWD I did not head out into the world with shaving cream streaked all over my head!!!

Needless to say, I quickly doubled over to wash my hair in the tub while we laughed so hard our bellies hurt.

When Hubby shared the story with his mom, she wasn’t the least bit surprised: “she’s a mom.”
