Consistently Inconsistent Mom Brain

I am not sure why I work out this way. But sometimes I talk softly in large groups and sometimes I am the loudest person in the room. Sometimes I am the one who takes charge and leads the way in a project and sometimes the one who sits in the back waiting to be called. I love sharing with pretty much everyone, but I also sometimes can be very distant. Its never consistent. I am not sure why  it just happens.

One day I was with my friend and we were the loudest we could be. I made her blush red embarrassed but having a good time. What we were doing is whole post for another day, but let's just leave we were having an awesome day. Th following day at a Bible study I was completely quiet. I had plenty of answers to give when the questions came around. Plenty of chance to volunteer to read verses and there I was quietly seating kinda hoping no one would call upon to speak.

My days seems to flow this way as well. One day I have everything coordinated. Everything has a place and I have a plan set. Everything gets done at its time and on time.  Then the following day I plan the same thing its totally up-heaved. Kids have no shoes and I am driving into to town only to realize why in world am I even going into town? My lists are long and sometimes never even there even though I know I plenty to do. One day I can clean my entire home, the next I can barely keep the dirty dishes balanced just right in the sink. 

Sometimes I wonder why my life goes this way or if any other mothers have this kind of problem. Then I met a few mothers who fell right along side in my life. They were outgoing one moment then completely quiet people the next. Clueless and knowledgeable, crazy and mature, collected and losing it! 

I think this is what they call "Mom Brain". Maybe it is not that we are losing part of our minds when we becomes mothers, parts of it decide to randomly shut down while turning on others. Which is why one moment who can cook a great home cooked meal and the next you can only think of ordering a pizza for dinner. Your brain is all there, but after babies come and the lack of sleep, and hormones your brain suffered. Parts of it light up and other shut down. Which why some moments you have the right answer and have it all put together and the other time you are running against the clock trying to figure out what exactly you are doing. 

No worries mamas. We are a little crazy.

Until another day

Toodles.
