Pregnancy Brain at it's best

So, today I pulled the all-time winning pregnancy brain move so far. This takes the cake for all the other pregnancy brain moves I have made from all my pregnancies. So, Alex and I had to go grocery shopping today (Jenna is spending time at Banya and Papa's...all by herself). When we left our house, it was cloudy but showing no signs of raining. As we get closer to Meijer, the end of the world is descending upon us and we drive right into a powerful thunderstorm. We pull into the parking lot and sit in the car a bit as we decide what we want to do - dash for the store and get soaked or just head home (at $4.00 a gallon of gas this wasn't really appealing to me). As we were sitting there was a slight lull in the storm and I said to Alex let's just go for it, it's only rain we'll dry off. So, as we open the doors I tell Alex not to lock them, that way we can get back into the car quickly if it is still raining. We take off, I do not go into labor while running to the store, and we proceed to shop. About one hour later, we are checked out and I go to get my keys. I cannot find them anywhere!! Then, it hits me, I left them in the car. I tell Alex we are locked out. He reminds me we didn't lock the doors. Now, I think we don't have a car anymore because someone stole it. As we head out, I see our car - relief. Alex opens my door and says "Yep, Mom they're here." I had left the keys IN the ignition with the doors unlocked!!! I'm lucky it was not stolen. Ahh, pregnancy brain at it's finest. I put Alex in charge of the keys the rest of the trip for his fee of $2.00!! So sad when your 5 year old is more responsible than you are!!
