So what they don’t tell you about stay-at-home motherhood is that it perpetuates the “mommy brain” that starts the second you conceive. I’d been told that as soon as the hormones subsided I’d regain my brain. It was a complete lie. I can’t remember words. I get to the store and if I don’t have a list I can’t remember what I went to get. I can easily forget what it was that I was doing an hour ago. What I also didn’t count on is that this apparently extends beyond the trivial. I say this because I have apparently agreed to run a half marathon in November. Now I know I’ve definitely lost my mind.
Remember the weeks of physical therapy? There better be some really incredibly careful training or you will be back there trying for a half marathon…or perhaps you are planning to either walk the half marathon or ride in a wheelchair?
