When bad goldfish happen to good people

Risa Green of Tales from the Mommy Track always has funny things to say about being a manic mom, but yesterday's post just cracked me up. Of course the rushing around is all too familiar, but so is the forgetting, the lying, and the self-recrimination. Everything was familiar except this line:

"It was all I could do not to tell her that if she didn’t inform me that she was hungry, I would probably forget to feed her, and that the only reason our dog is still alive is because she’s learned to bark at me when I’m on my way out the door in the morning if I’ve forgotten to put food in her bowl."

If we had a dog I might be inclinded to ignore the barking. Perhaps that's why we don't have a dog.

I'm exposed....I'm worried that when the twins no longer fuss at feeding time I'll forget too. I'm with her.
