Sidetracked dedicated her first blog post to the Baby Brain phenomenon. So take a look at this little 'taster' and follow the link at the bottom to her Blog to read the rest of this story and those of her other Mother Moments.
---------------------------------------------------------
You know how when you're pregnant it seems to be a common occurrence to lose your train of thought in mid-sentence? Well, I'm sorry to say that two children later, it's still a common occurrence for me. I am constantly being sidetracked by goodness-knows-what in my subconscious that seems to think that it's a pretty neat thing to interrupt me in mid-sentence or even mid-thought. It's what I affectionately refer to as "mother moments". After all, you really can't blame it on baby brain when it's been 3 months since you gave birth, can you?
I first occurred to me that my mother moments were here to stay when Seagull was about 12 weeks old. I was attending a university residential (yes, I am crazy enough to be studying AND having a young family) and I completely forgot the question I was wanting to ask my chemistry lecturer in mid-sentence. Fortunately, he was able to make a bit of a joke of it and told me that I was too young to be having senior's moments. It was at that moment that I coined the phrase "mother moments".
Yay me! I tell you what, I had a whole week of mother moments last week - it felt like I was flying at a million miles an hour by the seat of my pants. If I ever catch up, I'll have to blog about it. :)
