Mommy Mush

With the addition of our second child, my brain was replaced with a pile of mush.

I forget everything.

Even when it’s written down, I forget it. Post-it note on my coffee mug? Slips my mind. Red ink on my calendar? No way I’m remembering it. Lipstick on my mirror? Hard to wipe clean and I still forget it (probably because I’m cursing myself so much while cleaning the oily smudge off the mirror).

Here’s a sample of some of the things I’ve forgotten lately:

• Putting on my shoes. I was out the door before our amazing au pair (more on her later) mentioned I was forgetting something important. I remembered. 
• The baby monitor. It gets left behind everywhere - my closet, the bathroom, the laundry room.
• Placing the nipple in the bottle. The baby didn’t think milk all over his face was nearly as funny as I did.

I only remember these because I wrote them down. In 3 different places.

Welcome to motherhood with more than one child.

What funny things have you forgotten lately (if you can remember any of them!)?
