You may be looking at this post and thinking "uh-oh, Sarah's photo code must be input incorrectly". Er, no. There is no photo. Why? Because I forgot to take any photos today; my memory cards are full and sitting on my desk, waiting to be downloaded on to my computer. But this is actually very telling of my day to day life. There is always SOMETHING that I forget. I swear, each time I have birthed a child I gave them some of my brain cells. I can remember odd off the wall things, but I can't seem to be able to pack up the kids to leave the house for a few hours without having to run back in for something I've forgotten. Diapers? Cell phone? Grocery list? Cloth bags? Keys? It's always something.
Oh yeah, and someone pushed the lock button on the bathroom door, and then I later shut it to keep out the boy-who-loves-to-splash-in-the-toilet (Leila never did that!), and low and behold, the darn thing was locked, no key hole. I went round outside to the window above the bath tub, but there was no way I could climb in there without falling on my head into the bath tub. I finally got it unlocked with a flexible cutting board we use for camping. I later figured out what happened when I heard Leila (who was supposedly going poop) saying "and then I press this button, and I will lock the door and have privacy". Great. Note to self: always check that it's not locked before shutting the door!

Oh no! The more kids I have the more brain cells I lose?
I am simply amazed at the transformation my brain has gone through after having one child. Like when my husband starts talking about something that I obviously should know about but all I can do is stare blankly at him. He just nods and says, "mommy brain" and I shrug and then he fills me in on all the stuff I just completely forgot (not like I forgot and then remembered it but more like it was completely erased clean).
But on the plus side, I feel like I have a different personality - exquisitely intuitive, creative, mentally spontaneous and much more accepting. Whereas I used to be analytical, perfectionist, calculating, and did I mention perfectionism? So what's a few lost brain cells and a sagging tummy when my personality got a total overhaul :)
