Nevergirl’s

I’m amazed by my ability to multi-task, I really am. While keeping the peace between the two daughters, I was mentally debating whether to check on National Bookstore to see if they sell books by the authors I’ve been thinking of taking for a test run. I was also figuring out what to bring to the family day come Saturday, when to meet up with the MIL for her birthday dinner, and how to navigate the day’s foray to the mall in such a way that we can make it in time for the party even if we’ve to stop for a pressie for Xabier and at the same time, buy the two little girls footwear.

I’m not sure how they did it but now their white shoes won’t fit — and I could have sworn the last time they wore them was two weeks ago!

So yes, I am amazing like that — as all mothers are, I suspect. I can do one thing with my hands while my mind does other things. But here’s the thing -  so lost in thought was I that I didn’t even remember I hadn’t combed my hair after my quick shower; and I wouldn’t have noticed if I hadn’t seen myself in one of the mall’s huge mirrors! Yikes!

Oh, and here are the two kids who almost had to go to the mall shoeless. I’m sorry, I wish I can say I put them up to this. But no, they make faces on their own, all the time, and over nothing!

I’m not so sure we have better-looking photos of ourselves during Xabier’s party. We must have. Surely we didn’t wear these faces the whole time! Then again, I wouldn’t be surprised if we did. It’s in the genes.
