losing it

January 31st, 2006 — 8:51am

(I hesitate to write this because I know that when my mom reads it she’ll yell a big “HA!” at her computer. But in my defense, I have never driven past the turn for my house.)

I have a theory. As parents, I think our brains are so trained to be interrupted that we get to the point that we can’t finish a thought. Because, seriously, even when my children aren’t around, I can’t think! It’s amazingly scary. I used to be SO on the ball, and now I get distracted so easily. I read somewhere that once you become a parent that you lose IQ points. I think it’s true.

Please tell me that I’m not the only one out there working with a brain that can’t finish a thought?
