Every time I write a post, I select a category for my post. And every time I select a category, I think, "I need to redo my categories because they mean nothing and I end up selecting the same category every time." In the end, I do nothing because - well, because I'm just lazy and other things take priority.
I've been taking practice exams every chance I get to prep for a 200 question test that 70% of the people who take the test pass. I'm worried that I won't pass because every time I take a practice exam, I never seem to get enough to "pass" the practice test. It doesn't look good for me, but I'm sure with a little more work I will be fine.
The thing that is unnerving isn't that I can't pass the practice exams, but that my brain has just become so lazy. By this I mean that I cannot seem to get my brain to do what it used to do which is absorb information, retain it, and then spit it out when needed. I'm not sure if this is a function of age or if my brain, like any muscle, has atrophied. Seriously, there are days when I cannot remember how old I am or what I did last week. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the fact that I'm tired and I have a lot of responsibilities - more than I had when I was say, 30.
I used to think that the reason that my parents - my mother in particular - couldn't string a coherent sentence (I'm exaggerating) together was because she wasn't listening to me. But now I am thinking that it is because she was pulled in a zillion different directions and with 3 kids, a job, a husband, and a mortgage, I am sure that sanity was something that was difficult to hold on to. It's true that at my age my mother had more gray hair than me, but I'm starting to wonder if I am ahead of her on the "brain mush" area. It's a scary thought.
I think it's called "Mommy brain", and we all have it, too! :)
