CommuterMom: What did you say?
I love to listen to the morning news while I’m getting ready in the morning. That is one of the little things I miss about life before motherhood. With CommuterGirl in the room (which she usually is) the TV is either on PBS, or not on at all. So, when I’m away from home I relish the luxury of listening to the morning news.
The other morning they were making a plug for the upcoming stories when I heard them chuckle and talk about momnesia. A recent article in USA Today defines what happens to a mother’s ability to “remember it all” post baby. So, I guess I wasn’t losing it when I couldn’t remember how to get out the door and still remember my wallet , I had momnesia. So, why does it still feel like a lame excuse? Maybe because the news anchor made the “plug” for the story with a laugh. Or, maybe, it’s because I’m not willing to admit I can’t do it all…I can be super-mom, can’t I?

I know exactly what you mean! Everyday there are at least 2 or 3 things on either my work or personal to-do list that I never get to, not because of the time crunch, but because I simply forgot. The other day I went to CVS explcitly to pick up infant Motrin, which we needed very badly, and refill a prescription, which was not so urgent. I walked out with the prescription but no Motrin. Just one example of many.
