What Is Mommy Brain?

Ok, so I finally decided I needed to give this a try. I figured it would give me somewhere to purge my thoughts when my husband was tired of listening to me (or pretending to listen). Since most of our days revolve around our two sons, we rarely get to say complete thoughts, let alone have entire conversations. So there ya go, I can type away and not worry about anyone screaming "mommy" in my ear twenty times. That assumption of course is based on the fact that I will never, ever, ever be able to blog when my children are awake!

Anyways, on to the really important stuff. What is "Mommy Brain" you ask? I believe this phrase was coined by my sister-in-law. She told me that is what I had when I was pregnant with my first son. I think I once heard that a woman's brain shrinks when she is pregnant. Hence, Mommy Brain! Every mom knows what this is. You suddenly can't remember anything. You are forgetful, absent-minded, clumsy, and downright stupid at times. Every smart thought you ever had has left you for good. I fully believe that Mommy Brain never goes away. I have been cursed with it for the rest of my life. My sons are now 6 & 3, and still, I am dumber than rocks. My head is so full of doctor appointments, T-ball practices, snack schedules, and homework assignments, that my brain really can't compute anything else!

So, I have decided to fill this blog with all the mundane things in my life that drive me crazy, make me laugh, or simply puzzle me. Thanks for reading, and I hope you visit often!!!

Im really relieved now, cause I thought what I was having were *Senior Moments* and now I can blame it on *Mommy brain*!!! Does it count though, since my children are grown and have kids of their own>?? Perhaps it is called *granny brain* now? I am looking forward to reading all your mundane crazy thoughts. I learned something already as I never heard of *Mommy brain*! Your Mom, (divalilac)

What I said was that you had to donate 1/2 your brain to the baby and that was our problem as mommies. I started saying that when I was pregnant with Kyle. So by the time you have a few children you are really in trouble!! Carla
