[...] there are extra rules they must obey when we are in public. Mostly because I don’t want to lose one of them, but also because I don’t want them wreaking havoc during our run. I always try to remind [...]

As a mom with 7 kids, four under the age of three (Years ago) I can relate to the enormous amount of stress you experienced being in the store with all of them, and I can understand how one could have accidentally been left behind. I”m so happy Ben was safe & sound!

My biggest fear was that I would leave one of my kids behind in a store somewhere. That didn’t happen, but I did forget a whole shopping cart full of groceries one time when I went shopping with the 4 younger kids. Luckily I remembered I forgot to load the groceries after I loaded up the kids in the van.

And one time I forgot to buckle up the baby, when I was frazzled after loading up triplets and her carseat flipped over when I turned a corner. Luckily she was buckled into her car seat, so she didn’t get hurt, but I still remember shaking and crying when I saw her car seat upside down.

Motherhood is rough!

Christine – kudos to you for admitting this. It’s a big one (and I cannot even begin to think how scary) and you exposed the scattered mommy brain that we all have but don’t admit! We’ve all done similar things that we’re not proud of but they happen when we try to do too much. There have been many times where I have just thanked God that my kids are safe, healthy and happy.

Thanks for sharing a bit of yourself. When we share these real moments, we get to know each other better.
