A Minute In Mom Brain

This morning upon rising for the day, I was rendered paralyzed by all the tasks bouncing around in my brain.  To explain this phenomenon to my husband, I started muttering and grumbling.  This list is dedicated to him so he can understand the gibberish I spoke, why I was so irritated, and why his role in our lives is so important.
