Oops…I forgot. That seems to me my mantra lately. I call it mommy brain because I’ve had it for about 7 years now. I USED to think it was pregnancy brain – then I thought it was nursing brain….and now I know. It’s mommy brain.
I LOVE organization, I LOVE managing details. But for some reason, as my husband puts it, I’ve been “breaking the dishes” when it comes to managing the family schedule.
Do you know what I mean? Those days where you book overlapping playdates…totally space a doctor’s appointment…forget a blog post (ok this one is probably just me) and each day is greeted with ok, what’s is it I have today? instead of an organized view of the week?
I feel like that describes my life right now. I have everyday stuff, I never forget that, I even have a whiteboard calendar on my wall above my desk detailing specific events on specific days. I have a google calendar on my phone {fancy!}. But still, things escape my brain and I’m honestly baffled. Those hard-earned skills managing every minute detail of a massively complicated project aren’t translating to the jumbled chaotic schedule of four kids and two adults. Because I have it – I have mommy brain. What I’m really wondering is will it ever go away?
I’ve always imagined the cure for Mommy Brain was sleep. lots and lots of good quality, long-stretches of uninterrupted glorious sleep! So if that’s the case, being cured is undoubtedly hopeless 😉
