Babbling Idiot

Am I the only one who is unable to hold a conversation while my children are in the room? Sometimes I feel like I haven’t perfected the ‘ignore the crazy kids while I talk to someone else’ parenting skill because I swear I don’t make sense half of the time. I start a sentence or thought and never end up finishing my conversation because I have to re-direct Case. Or I lose my train of thought because I am watching what he is doing and trying to predict if he is going to get too loud, in trouble, throw a toy or do something that will hurt himself. Or I am totally distracted because of a crying, pooping, burping, spitting up baby. I feel like a nonsensicle babbling idiot who never makes sense half of the time I am around grown-ups. So if you have been around me in the past 2 years, please don’t call the looney house yet, I’m not crazy, just distracted. And I hope one day in the next 18 years I will be able to finish a sentence and hold a complete conversation.
