So I know I have been slacking on the posting. It seems I have what some call "Mom Brain". Let me elaborate. It's when you feel like you would lose your head if it weren't attached. Some things that lead me to believe I have this is: Just a few days ago I turned on the wrong burner on the stove to cook something meanwhile a glass pyrex dish was sitting on the hot burner with a sweet potato casserole in it- I was just about to stick it in the oven to cook (this was a meal for my good friend that just had a baby) when it completely exploded! I couldn't figure out what happened at first, but then aha- I had turned on the wrong burner on the stove and was cooking the glass dish from underneath it! It was a huge mess. Evidence B: A few weeks ago we were out with some friends at a restaurant- it was a little chaotic with all the kids and the restaurant was busy. Cade had been running around previously so I scooped him up in my hopes to keep him under wraps. Five minutes passes and we are trying to gather everything up to go when I freak out that I can't find Cade. Alas! HE IS IN MY ARMS. Dah. I literally was like- I didn't just look for my child that I'm actually holding, did I? Oh yes I did. Kinda like the sunglasses are on your head thing but this was a kid. Want more? The other day we were eating outside at noodles and company when we started talking to a couple sitting at another table. The guy was like- "I knew you were a Mormon couple!" I was really confused. I recognized the woman but I didn't know where from. Then I realized she's in our ward at church- her husband had told her that he suspected that we were Mormon and she confirmed it. Anyway, I was still trying to figure out how we knew her when it hit me- then she introduced her husband to which I said- "So why don't we know you then?" HELLO, MORON, he might as well have said but actually said, "I don't go to church." I felt like the biggest idiot. I could go on and on, but some days I feel like I have really lost my mind. My good friend that I made the meal for that exploded said I just have "Mom Brain". That makes me feel like atleast it's for a good reason, right?

That was a hilarious post!! I particularly loved the story about looking for your child that you were holding...totally something I would do!! It makes me feel better about my crazy wacked-out mom brain! Jason even has a specific look that he gives me whenever the "mom brain" starts to take over...the look says "I shouildn't have expected it any other way!" At least we can laugh at it, right?
