Mom Brain Is Real, Y’all – This Week’s Highlight Reel of Forgetfulness

Mom Brain Is Real, Y’all – This Week’s Highlight Reel of Forgetfulness

Let’s just go ahead and say it: Mom Brain is not only real — it’s alive and well and apparently running the show at my house. Honestly, I’m just out here doing my best, fueled by lukewarm coffee and blind optimism, but sometimes my brain says “no ma’am” and just… clocks out.

Here’s a quick roundup of this week’s greatest hits from the Mom Brain Chronicles:

🚗 Forgot to change the dismissal code for Jess so that she could walk home with a friend. This led to said friend’s mom walking around the school to speak to teachers to let her go. This was even after we had repeatedly been in contact for days!

📦 Told Alexa to remind me to take the meat out of the freezer. Alexa did her job. Did I? Absolutely not. So Papa John’s to the rescue - Again! Of course, the girls didn’t mind.

🧺 Did three loads of laundry and remembered to dry… zero of them. So I got to rewash three loads of laundry. Again. The cycle never ends — literally.

💡 Tried to turn the ceiling fan off using the TV remote. The girls were just watching me like, “Mom, you okay?” No baby girl, no I’m not.

The worst part? I’ll probably forget that I even wrote this list by next week. But I have to laugh about it, because if I don’t, I’ll cry… and then forget why I was crying, which will make me cry more. Welcome to motherhood!

So if you’ve walked into a room and immediately forgotten why you went in there — more than once — just know: you’re not alone. Grab yourself a coffee (or reheat the one from earlier… again) and raise a toast to all the mamas out here doing the most with the least amount of brain power available.

Y’all, we are superheroes… just slightly distracted ones.
