Brain dead

The thing I dislike the most about pregnancy hormones, and I am being totally serious, is that you basically lose your brain. You lose your ability to really think, and occasionally, even to reason. That’s not entirely accurate, it manifests itself more through forgetfulness.  It’s called "pregnancy brain"  So I’m already seeing signs of it.  My mother, bless her heart, because this really used to hurt my feelings, would tell me I’d lose my head if it wasn’t attached to my shoulders.  I don’t know WHY she said that to me.  I kind of laugh about it now.  This from the absent minded professor, you understand!  My point (do I really have one?  And see what I mean?)  is that I’ve always been kind of… forgetful as it is.  Some days I just wonder if I am making ANY sense, whatsoever.  And I’m thinking, pregnancy brain strikes again!  Oh Lord, help me.  Save me from myself, please.  I mean, if there was ever anything I was proud of, it was my intelligence.  I can’t even spell these days!  Now THAT is depressing! 

And I go off on tangents, oh, and I’m emotional.  THAT I love, NOT.  I’ve never had a real "appreciation" if you will, for weepy women.  I am NOT a weepy woman… so it kind of drives me nuts when I sort of turn into one.  Which only happens when I’m PMSing, or pregnant.  I hate hormones.  That’s all there is to it.  Hormones are responsible for so many of the world’s horrors. 

The baby just dumped part of my soda on one of my scrapbooks, and on the carpeting… so I’m trying to calm myself down from that.  It upset me greatly, so she’s currently banished from here.  It’s NOT a safe place for her anyway, I admit.  I have a headache today, pretty bad one.  I think it’s from caffeine withdrawls, and a touch of dehydration.  I had to take TWO Tylenol to make it go away.  I hardly ever take two tylenol.  I usually make do with one, and I don’t even really make do, it works.  it’s closer to a migraine than a headache.  THAT’S what I get for indulging myself in a diet dr pepper and a diet pepsi.  So I’m having a caffeine free soda now… though it’s diet, and I should be drinking water… and I WOULD be, if not for the fact that the water dispenser on the fridge is broken, and the tap water is NASTY.  That is one of the things that makes me long for Colorado… the wonderful tap water.  Water that tastes bottled, when it’s not.  Every time I go back, I revel in the water… it’s just sooo yummy.  Except from my mom’s house!  She is out in "the middle of nowhere" (Shabree’s words, not mine!   LOL!)  and her water is tainted w/ sulpher.  So she buys bottled water for when she’s out there.  Otherwise, she has an apartment in Loveland she spends time at, because it’s near her job.  It’s a nice apartment, little studio. 

I think I’m rambling again, and I think I’ll stop now.  I’m tired, and I feel bad, because I did yell at the baby for spilling my soda, and she is banished, and I closed the door…:(.  I should go make sure she’s ok.
