I Smart

I always meant to write about things that we're deeply philosophical, scientific, political and extremely insightful.

Yet, I find myself writing things like - Ella is sitting in her car seat on the way to Grandma’s when I glimpse in the rearview mirror that she is having her Ernie doll nurse from her Cookie Monster doll. She is sitting very quiet and watching intently with Ernie’s faced smashed into Cookie’s chest. I call Dan to tell him about it and he is extremely disturbed by the whole thing, saying “Oh Gross! Thanks for that visual!”

Here’s the thing, I’m still getting up a couple of times a night with Ella and since my pregnancy, whole chunks of vocabulary have just fallen right out of my head onto the sidewalk never to be seen again. I've checked the lost and found... Nope, 'that one thing' is still missing, it's probably with that 'thinga madoodle' I lost last month. Most days I am a news junky, but by the time I read and process what is out there I am usually too appalled and disheartened to write about it. I just read other Blogs and end up thinking – “Yeah, what she said!” So I link…

I swear to you, dear reader, there will be a day when I will have a coherent thought to contribute – something new and clever to say about politics, science and or philosophy. I swear to you "I SMART!" and someday maybe I’ll be able to… ya know … damn … (lost my train of thought)… damn.

Yup, placenta brain can last a loooon time. Both times I was pregnant I would loose concentration/interest mid sentence and just not be able to finish. I am never the best at small talk but it did get a bit ridiculous!
