Lost Brain Cells...

It's a good thing I'm not a big drinker...my pregnancies each sucked too many precious brain cells that I never expect to see again.  How do moms drink?  I can barely get along with the limited brain cells I have left!

(This embarrassingly unflattering photo is courtesy of Kaylin-cam and her plea: "Mommy, don't smile anymore!  That's boring.  Do something funny...")
Things I have forgotten this week:

- A trunk full of groceries. (Thankfully, nothing was cold!)

- My conference with Kaylin's teacher. (Barely remembered with enough time to arrange childcare and alternative bus arrangements for Ryan.)

- A pot of boiling water. (I went downstairs to discover a 1/2 inch of water in a pot that was filled with 2 quarts of water less than an hour earlier.  That's what I get for running upstairs "real quick.")

- A plugged in flat iron. (When I happened to go into my bathroom, I realized I plugged it in then walked away 30 minutes before, again, to do something "real quick.")

- To change Jason's diaper after his nap, resulting in a wretched, near-explosion later in the day.  There was absolutely NO more room left in that diaper for...anything.  I'll leave it at that.

- After spending $75 at Trader Joe's, I left without the one thing I went there to buy.

- Seemingly endless promises of returned phone calls, appointments to schedule or cancel, delegated tasks from teachers...

I clearly have too much on my mind. Is it Friday yet...?

I can totally relate!

Sometimes there is just too much to do and not enough hours in the day to get things done. I am contantly writing myself To-Do Lists and that doesn't always help.

I blame my 4 pregnancies, they stole my brain cells and after all these years I still haven't gotten them back. :0)
