During pregnancy, I constantly tried to prep myself for the changes that were going to accur in my life once my baby was born. I was going to be a mother. I was going to have a son. Yes, I might get a little less sleep. Yes, I would probably spend my Saturday evenings at the park and in bed early. Yes, things would change but in a magical, beautiful way. Now, with a perfect, seven month old son, life has changed and it has been great. The problem is, no one ever prepared me for the things I would lose come motherhood. One example...my mind.
I used to be a very put together person. I was EXTREMELY organized and "planny." I was very good at my job, kept a spotless house, and would describe myself as specific but fun. Well, let me just tell you, that put together person is GONE! Here is an actual email I sent to my friend yesterday...
"I've LOST my mind. I need a wine and a xanex 10 min ago. I left my
umbrella in a restaraunt, lost my parking garage tag so it took me 45 min to
fill out paper work and get my car out. Is this what motherhood does to
people? If so, Brody is going to be an only child. I'm mental."
After she so sweetly responds to find out if it was the nice, expensive umbrella and telling me I'm just not used to losing things and not to worry, I'm doing a great job, here is my response...
"I know...who am I?? Even a guy I work with literally said "who are you".
I'm usually a put together on top of it person. One child has driven me
into phsyco land even further than before.
Yes it was the burberry! I flipped my shit in the middle of an office,
called the restaraunt and they had it, thank goodness. Just another day in
the life of a mental case."
Hopefully my work isn't monitoring all emails or they will see this and certainly find some reason to kick this crazy mom to the curb.
