Mom brain is totally a real thing, in fact…can I just share a few “Mom brain” moments with you? It’ll really set the mood…
- I have literally put ice cream away, in the microwave…not once, but twice.
- I can’t tell you how many times I have “lost” my keys and my phone
- I left my phone on top of the car…drove away to hear a loud thump, BUT GUESS WHAT Y’ALL…totally in tact still and beautifully sitting on the street 😉
- I have driven all the way to the store (30 minutes away) only to realize my wallet is actually still sitting on the counter.
Those are just a few…but you know what I am saying right? IT’S TOTALLY A REAL THING. Like, I can’t even express to you how often I feel like my brain is complete mush. Even if I get a solid 8 hours of sleep, I still feel like there’s just air in that head of mine. Did I just call myself an “airhead”? Yep, yes I did…OWN IT.
Lately Marcus and I have been chatting about the future, more babies, you know…growing our family. And I’m NOT pregnant, nor planning to be any time soon…so, hold your horses. BUT I would be totally lying if I didn’t say how terrified I am at the thought of possibly two babies running around one day. I mean, my brain is a mess with just one. How the heck am I supposed to be able to even function with two!? It’s a scary thought y’all. I mean the other day I was on a business call and they were asking me about my calendar and when they could fit something in. Well, I was scrambling around EVERYWHERE trying to find my phone so that I could look at my calendar. Now, mind you..I literally had my giant computer sitting in front of my face with the calendar on the screen…but for some reason that didn’t click. I was searching for my phone, trying to keep them occupied so I didn’t look like an idiot as I tried to find it. Then…then it hit me, I’m literally on my phone, it’s in my freaking hand. I laughed, I couldn’t help it…I let out a giant chuckle and then I had to explain myself. Well, thankfully I was talking to a Mom and she laughed and laughed with me.
That’s the crap I’m talking about, ya know? And really, we might as well just enjoy it. Suck it up and laugh at the crazy moments because they’re going to happen and they’re going to happen often, if not daily, if not multiple times a day. I don’t think I realized the literal effect having a baby plays on your brain. I mean, I had heard of “Mom brain”, but didn’t expect it to be like this. I seriously feel like my brain is in a fog nine times out of time. I can barely remember what I am supposed to do that day, let alone what the heck I did yesterday and when I have to recall something like that I have to sit there, no joke, for like 10 minutes to go through each step and track down the memory I am trying to find. It’s really a mess, but hey–Motherhood is messy, but it’s perfect. I mean, would it even be nearly as much fun with out all the chaos?! NOPE. So let’s party, forget all the things and well…ride this Motherhood train because it’s good y’all, it’s SO good.
