Where are my brains?

When I was pregnant, I remember thinking that the baby has sucked out all of my brains. I worked at Taco Bell as a manager when I was pregnant with my boys. It was quite the task to run a store with no brains! I was definitely not myself as my boss would tell me. When I went on maternity leave, I had 9 employees. For those of you who don't know, THAT'S NOT ENOUGH! My excuse was that I gave all of my brains to my babies!

It's been 7 years since I was last pregnant and I've managed to teach for 6 years and be responsible for a lot of little lives along the way, so I know I've got something in there, but lately I'm not sure where my brains are and I'm not pregnant. Here's what I've done in just the past week:

1. My husband and I had a conversation last night that I can't remember and I did the opposite of what we "supposably" talked about.

2. I went to the store to get cash back, but forgot I don't have the pin number to my new card yet- Mission failed

3. I totally flaked on my friend (I don't do this and I can't stand flakiness). We were supposed to walk on Sunday night, but I went to evening service instead. I didn't bother to run it by her because I forgot we were supposed to walk. AGH!!

4. For Drew's birthday I forgot to pick up the cake. I realize that was more than a week ago.

5. I forgot my lunch twice.

6. I forgot to set my alarm for the right time, so I woke up 25 minutes late today.

7. I almost forgot to brush my teeth before work until I ran my tongue across them and felt that film (you know what I'm talking about).

8. I forgot an entire pile of stuff I needed for work the next day sitting on my table.

9. I totally messed up my last blog post and didn't count all of the great grand kids correctly. I had two different numbers for the same group of kids!

10. I just forgot what I was about to write. Grr!

I hope this doesn't get any worse. I can't write that many lists to remind me of things.

  1. When I complained about this brain-drain thing when having my kids, my mom promised me that it was only temporary. I kept waiting for them to come back...I finally gave up and told her that she had lied to me. She just smiled!!
    Love, love, love you guys!!!

  2. Oh Tracy I agree that our kids drained our brains! I feel the same way WAYYYY too much it seems. If I don't write it on a post it, it doesn't get done. Hopefully you'll be back to normal soon.
