Pregnant Brain

So people have claimed there is such a thing as "Pregnant Brain" although many books and websites say that it is make-believe. Pregnant Brain refers to the state of flightiness or forgetfulness that pregnant women experience. I've read that it's nothing more than the fact that you are focusing so much on your pregnancy, or are maybe extra tired, that is causing the ditziness, and not really anything chemically different in your body that you can blame it on.

However. Let me tell you about today and the amount of air-headedness I experienced.

This morning, I left my house at the usual time, around ten past seven. I decided I wanted a muffin and a decaf coffee, so I headed to Dunkin' Donuts. While in the Dunk's drive through I realized I left all of my school things at home, my entire bag with my pass to get into the school and everything. As soon as I paid for my order, I drove off in the direction of my house to retrieve my belongings, and immediately realized that after getting my change from the Dunks lady, I drove away before getting my order. At this point, it was 7:20 and I had only time to go to one place, Dunks or Home. I went home, got my things, and went to school, coffeeless.

As I got to school, I turned the car off, grabbed my bags, opened my car door and promptly realized I was stuck. Both of my legs were out of the car door, struggling to reach the ground, and something was keeping me in my seat. I thought my bag was caught on something, I jerked it, yanked it, to no avail. It was about thirty seconds of struggle before I realized I had not unbuckled my seat belt.

This was all before seven thirty in the morning.

Some days you should really be able to go back to bed and just call it a mental health day!!
