Mommy Brain and why I can't think of the word "closet".

Gestation, birth and the first year of life are serious mind sucks. I figure, I lost half my mental capacity with the first son and then half of what was left with the second.  That leaves me, on a good day + coffee, firing on 25 percent brain power.

I'm not a surgeon or driving heavy machinery so one might assume that as a stay-at-home-mom I'm fine with my depleted mental capacity. Well, today I couldn't think of the word "closet". I'm in trouble. My scolding is slipping, too!

YOU'RE, YOU HAD BETTER.... JUST STOP IT... YOUR BROTHER, NO!!

It just lacks that authoritative tone that really grabs a kids attention and let's them know you're in command of the situation. Because you sound like a drooling idiot. Who might just fall asleep mid-scolding.

The inmates are officially running the asylum.
