For the last few weeks I have noticed a sort of "ditz" factor about me that’s become pretty annoying. This isn’t a new phenomenon for me, unfortunately. I’ve been like this since I was pregnant with E. But for some reason I thought that I would return to my normal bright self after she was born. Today’s Flake Moment? I wore someone else’s name tag for the first hour of my Bible study this morning – not because I accidentally grabbed the wrong one while reaching for my own, but because I basically just fished a name tag out of the box and put it on without any thought to whose name it was. Which I think is pretty flaky. I was lamenting about this to a friend today:
"D., everyone told me that I would feel like I lost brain cells while I was pregnant. But what’s going on? Shouldn’t I have them back by now?"
To which she chuckled and replied, "Just consider it a donation."
I guess E. is destined for brilliance.

I hate be the one to burst your bubble. But I have known you for a LONG time, and this flakiness did not start during your pregnancy. Remember ALL the times you lost your keys and the one time in particular when you walked around for at least 30 min looking for them and they were in the door of your car. Now that was flaky. A and I still laugh about that.

The sad thing is the donations never end! This morning I called Jess and by the time the answer machine came on, I had forgotten what I wanted. I floundered for words for a few seconds and had to hang up. I still don’t know if it was info I needed to give or info I wanted from him. Thank God for the ability to still make notes. (If I don’t forget before a pen and paper are in hand.)

Just wait until you go through menopause… donation? More like you’ve given your brain for transplant while still alive! Which wouldn’t be that bad if there was a good side effect…like losing a few pounds along with it *s*
