Mommy Brain

How often do you feel like you can't remember anything to save your life?
We've all been there and hell I'm lucky if I remember what I walked into the room for.

There's this thing and I like to call it mommy brain. Mommy brain is almost as bad as Alzheimer but not as dangerous.  You seem to remember every word to the song The Wiggles just sang but can't remember why you walked into the bathroom.  Mommy brain can cause you to be late to an appointment, simply because you can't remember where you placed your phone that you just had two minutes ago. Mommy brain comes with pregnancy and gets worse with each child after. Symptoms may include forgetfulness, confusion and frustration. Some parents experience forgetfulness of child's name. If you are experiencing these symptoms head to your local store and buy a journal. You might want to write that down now or you just might get a case of MB while shopping and come home with everything except a journal.

I would tell you the cure to MB but I don't remember. I do know that it will come back to me once I'm repeating "Don't forget the bread" over and over on the way to the store. Then I will forget I ever need bread.
