1. You start to call for your son, but you call “God” instead. My children were amused to hear me say, “Goood” in the same way that I would say, “Paaatrick”. What can I say, I was thinking about Him as I brought the dinner to the table.

2. You start the dishwasher and then realize that you never added detergent.

3. You almost run a red light. My eldest son informed me, “I was thinking that you thought our big van could stop as quickly as a sports car or something.” I didn’t know that our van could come to a stop as quickly as it did. Dear, if you are reading this, don’t worry. I won’t make a habit of stopping the van quickly. I know that it is bad for the brakes.

4. The only thing that you really want to do all day, every day, is climb in bed and go to sleep.
