I’ve mentioned before my parents and husband agree, at times though book smart I appear to be lacking in common sense.  Two glaring examples to mention.  Friday night some friends and I were discussing the temperatures of our thermostats.  (For the younger readers, when you are older and married with kids this is a hot topic moms discuss since our body temperatures are the opposite of the men in our lives.)  My one friend said they keep her house at, I think, 67.  I was surprised because I said last I knew ours is set at 78.  What?  Insert shocked looks on girlfriends’ faces.  They said I must be mistaken.  Of course Dave later informed me I was sadly mistaken.  He sets our house at 68.  I obviously have never looked at, let alone adjusted, the thermostat.  Now comes the bigger DUH moment.  I watched my good friend and neighbor’s children this morning so she could get her hair done.  Her 2-year-old son and I had to pick up her daughter from preschool at 11:30am.  Note to self:  Next time you offer to babysit and pick-up someone’s kids, confirm where they go to preschool.  When I walked in to one, asked for her daughter by name and was told no one by that name goes there… I was embarrassed.  Fortunately I was running ahead of schedule and was able to make it to the correct school in time.  Details.  All in the details.
