My mom brain is failing...

"One thing they never tell you about child raising is that for the rest of your life, at the drop of a hat, you are expected to know your child's name and how old he or she is." ~Erma Bombeck

Do you ever get mom brain?  I do all the time lately!  It seems like I always have to pause and search my brain for one of the children's birthdays!   I can understand a little with my foster babies... I mean it took me like 23 years to remember if my dads birthday was the 24th or the 25th. So I have a little time to really let theirs sink in.  But I was there for Micah's birth... its easily the most significant day of my LIFE!  And sometimes I forget! 

I am equally guilty for forgetting names.  Well, I don't forget them I just seem to forget who is who.  Most times I just end up calling all three names or pointing and saying something like " you, no you, in the blue shirt... come here please"  Mom brain at its finest.

Jimi would say that I am at my worst when distracted.  My son will ask me a simple question like whats 6+6 and I will say  "I don't know" or " yeah, sure honey"  Then Jimi will laugh at me and say you really don't know what 6+6 is?  I had better get this mom brain under control before my kids think they are smarter than me a little too early.
