Brain Fart

Err.. excuse me, my brain passes gas (as I would tell the girls). Ever had those moments where someone asks you the simplest question and yet you still can't answer it? Maybe this is a problem because I have more than one kid.... maybe it's because I'm pregnant..... maybe it's cause I'm crazy.....

I was trying to think of a photo that could go with this post. When I think gas, I think of Ray, our boston terrier. I have a video of him scratching his rear on the fence, but I can't get videos to load for some reason. So here he is looking annoyed, which is as close to cute as he gets.

Whadda you lookin' at?

I took Lemur to her dentist appointment today, not at the scheduled time though. They called me to say they were cancelling the days appointments due to a water main break, but if I could get her in within the next hour then they'd still do the consult. AH! Mad dash to get everyone dressed, hair brushed, in the car, on our way. Fortunately, my mother happened to be in the area so she was able to hang out in the car with my other two while I took Lemur in. The office was empty since most people can't just drop what they are doing and be there so we get in immediately. Lemur jumps up in the chair happy as could be.

Here's where my brain froze - "What does she snack on?" Huh...... ummm....... she eats, doesn't she......... uhhhhh..... "Bananas..................... Apples."  Lemur chimes in, " Macaroni and cheese! Fries!" Thank you honey, you're really helping me look like an involved parent................... "Does she eat fruit snacks?" I guess my expression showed I had no idea what she was talking about. I'm thinking, I just told you she eats fruit as snacks. "Like gummy fruit snacks." "Ohh! Not really, sometimes, but not regularly." The woman gives me a funny look.... wow.... how could such a simple question make me feel like such a goob.

I hate when my brain does this and it does it often. "How old are they?" I've actually told a woman the wrong ages and then stood there for a second realizing my mouth and brain didn't sync up before answering. Saying a common phrase then realizing it means the opposite than what you meant to answer.

Does everyone go through this and is it as often as I do? Sometimes I feel like my children have eaten my brain and I will never think straight ever again........

Oh and for the record Lemur snacks on bananas, apples, yogurt, bread with mustard, cheddar rabbits, and kashi bars..... thank you very much!
