"Crazy Brain"

"Crazy brain" is the new term I have for my brain as of late. It's a combination of pregnancy brain and mommy brain mixed with a severe lack of sleep. Here are just a few examples of things you could do or say when experiencing "crazy brain". The list could be much longer and it would be if Marvin was standing over my shoulder right now, since he has seen it all first hand.

We went to meet with an accountant this week to do our taxes and for the most part Marvin did all of the talking (thank goodness). However when the accountant looked directly at me and asked me how old I was I told him 29! Then I said "Wait no I am 28" and Marvin quietly said "No, you are 27". How dumb can I be to get it wrong by two whole years!!!

Marvin has graciously taken over the weekly task of grocery shopping allowing me and Camden to stay at home. Last Sunday he bought groceries and as usual he always gets everything on the list, something I have rarely ever managed to do. He brings in all the bags and it's my responsibility to put them up. On Monday I decided to cook breakfast for Camden but when I went to get the eggs I couldn't find them. Camden isn't a patient customer when it comes to food so we settled for cereal and toast. Throughout the week I searched the kitchen and pantry over for the eggs and no luck. I almost convinced myself that it was somehow Marvin's mistake until I opened the freezer and voila, there they were!

A few Sundays ago we were getting ready for church and I was rushing around as usual trying to get myself and Camden ready and making sure Marvin had something not so wrinkled to wear. Finally we were all ready and headed out the door when Marvin looked at me and says are you going like that? I thought he was referring to the fact that I wasn't finished with my makeup and I quickly said "I'm going to put on the rest of it in the car on the way". He said "No, not your makeup, are you going to wear your houseshoes to church?" Sure enough I was dressed in my furry slippers along with my Sunday best!

I'm beginning to think I should avoid public places as much as possible until Neil arrives and Marvin may need to look into a more adequet form of supervision for Camden. Who knows what I will do next?!?
