Mommy Brain on the Loose!!

Forget Preggo Brain - Mommy Brain is a beast! I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever recover some semblance of my former intelligence. No wonder kids think they are smarter than their parents!

So, the other day, I was ON IT! I got up, made the bed (yes, pulling the covers up counts as making the bed - at least it LOOKS made), straightened up the living room, cleaned the kitchen, threw a load of laundry in the wash and went for a walk. I had it timed so that by the time I got back from my walk, I would throw the laundry into the dryer and start the dishwasher. We went for our walk, had a grand old time, with everything going according to schedule. We got in, made lunch, started the dryer and the dishwasher. I was feeling so great, thinking, "Oh yeah, I can do this mommy/housewife thing." Do you know, I even managed to cook dinner that evening! Oh, I was so proud of myself. So, when Steve got in, I was putting the finishing touches on dinner and decided to empty the dishwasher while I actually had use of both hands. I was starting to put away the silverware when I realized it was all so dirty, so I was putting it right back into the dishwasher. I sat a couple plates to the side to handwash because they were still dirty. I was trying to figure out what was going on when I checked the jet-dry dispenser and realized it was about empty, so surely that had to be the problem. Then it dawned on me. When I ran the dishwasher, I didn't put a dishwashing tab in there. D'oh! So, I basically wasted water and time and my dishes were still dirty. Talk about bursting that SuperMom balloon! Ah well, what could I do but laugh? I still chuckle to think of that.

Then, last night, we were watching "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader," and OF COURSE I am smarter than a fifth grader - I'm smarter than most people. (At least, that's what I like to think.) So, there was a question about whether Tasmanian Devils were extinct or not. Steve and I decide that they are not extinct, and I say, "Yeah, they're over in Tasmania, right?" LOL! I mean, really. They ARE called TASMANIAN devils, not JAPANESE devils.

But hey, I guess it's worth it to trade my brain for my sweet little Penny. Will it ever get better?? Will I ever get my brain back??

Baby Sugar makes it all better!!
