Mommy Brain

I know I have mentioned this kind of thing before, but I must tell of the latest “mommy brain” episode. This last week I have forgotten or misplaced several things. Last Sunday I left my coat at church, which luckily I didn’t need since it warmed up so well!!


Then on Thursday a friend helped me out when I took Luke to PT, since I also needed to take our baby with us. Of course I needed to get the oil changed on the car as well. So my friend met us at the oil changing place, and was our “taxi” for the day. That day it was raining throughout the day and when we returned to get my car after therapy, we were dealing with rain, children and car seats….and in the process we forgot something important. No…it wasn’t Luke or the baby…I didn’t forget the MOST important things. But, I did leave Luke’s walker in her van. Sine we didn’t really need it again until Sunday, we went a few days without the walker. Although I was kicking myself for forgetting it, it wasn’t the end of my “mommy brain” week.

Yesterday (Sunday), we were loading up kids, diaper bags, books, and my nephew’s present for his graduation (a card). You know how when you deal with kids sometimes the little things just get forgotten?. Well, that’s what happened. I put the books, card and purse on the roof of the car while I loaded Luke in his car seat. When I was done I grabbed everything off the roof…or at least I thought I did. It wasn’t until we were celebrating my nephew’s graduation and I was looking for the card, that I realized I must have left it at home or something.

My angel was looking out for me once again, as it turns out my husband’s parents found the card in the driveway when they came home with the kids after church. It has a nice dirty tire mark on the front marking the adventure it had yesterday morning. I’m just glad it didn’t travel down the road a couple miles like my library books did that last time I experienced “mommy brain”. My husband thinks I’m nuts, he just doesn’t understand what kids can do to Mommy’s brain.
