Here are some of my most memorable multitasking-gone-wrong moments (please say you can relate, guys!):
1. That time I let the baby roll of the bed because I was trying to also fish a Barbie slipper out of a pot of yogurt.
2. That time I looked for my car keys for an hour, only to find them inside the freezer (I had been in such a hurry to get the berries from the market frozen when we got home, that I clearly just left the keys in there as well – for good measure.)
3. That time I almost burnt the house down toasting grilled cheese sandwiches into charcoal because I got busy doing spellings with my 6-year-old.
4. That time I crashed the car into a pillar in the Dundrum car park because I was also trying to remove my toddler's ice cream wrapping from his ice cream.
5. That time I forgot to check on my six-year-old after I let her use some scissors (because I was trying to scrub Weetabix of the floor) – only to discover she had used them to chop her cousin's hair off. All. Of. It.
6. That time I ran over the bin in the driveway because I was also trying to pick raisins out of my handbag.
7. That time I put the milk into the cupboard and not fridge as I was also trying to help two-year-old search for "Wheels on the bus" on Youtube. And only discovered this a week later when the stench from the milk alerted me to my mistake.
8. That time I drove away from the petrol station WITHOUT having paid because I got roped into breaking up a fight over three tiny Shopkins figures. (Note: I did turn around and paid for my petrol!)
9. That time I accidentally put cinnamon instead of pepper on my partner's fried eggs because I was also stacking the dishwasher.
10. That time I went to work with eye make-up done on only one eye as I got distracted by trying to save the iPad my little boy came in and tried to flush down the toilet as I was doing my make-up.
I am fairly certain I can write another one of these posts in a few months time – with brand new failures to add to this list.
