Do you ever feel like life is chewing you up and spitting you back out over and over again? That is me right now! I feel like I am spinning in circles and I keep spinning and spinning and spinning and gaining no ground. Sometimes I stop and think, "self, when will I ever spring back". I know I am not the only one who thinks this way, but it just gets old, you know what I mean?
"I have no idea" is one of my most used phrases right now. The ONE and ONLY thing I hate about motherhood is my lack of thinking skills. It's like once J was born and laid on my tummy, the doctor said, "ok Candice here is your brain and I am about to throw it in the garbage." I can't remember anything and I find it very hard sometimes to multitask. I misplace things, forget memories pre-baby, and can't focus for long periods of time (I sound like a commercial for bad side effects to a certain drug) I am completely blown away that I can't remember things. My brain is working in over time. I wish I could write down all the things that pass through my mind in 10 seconds. It's amazing. Of course, every single one of those thoughts are concerning Jameson....and Rusty.....but mostly Jameson. :) Rusty can take care of himself.
I say all of this just to let you know why my blog has slowed down. I don't have time and my life is running in circles and I am sure you don't want to hear about the latest poop, pee, or snot bubble! Ha. However, I do LOVE my life and wouldn't have my brain back for anything. Well, maybe just a little bit of it.
J is still battling with asthma and allergies. That is an endless cycle in itself. He has been sick all summer. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I feel much better now. Anyway sickness=no sleep. No sleep=cranky tired mommy. Cranky tired mommy=bad mommy! Do you see how this is not good.
So, J, do you think you could start sleeping and grow out of your asthma and allergies and let mommy think of other people for a while? Please......
Sorry I have no exciting news to share, but to me, it is exciting and fun. Everyday is a new memory I will soon forget! Ha Ha. ;)
Hugs and kisses.

Candice -
Hang in there! You are not alone! I feel like my life is crazy most of the time too! I also feel like a part of my brain just dissolved with each baby - so that most definitely must be a mommy thing:) I hate to hear Jameson has been so sick this summer. I sort of think Griff has allergies too, but we just haven't had him "diagnosed" yet. Take care!!
You know what? It doesn't slow down. At least it hasn't for me. And I have yet to regain the part of my brain that I lost with the birth of our first child. But I love every moment of it...even those I won't remember (as you stated).
Thanks for the laughs and the reminder that I'm not alone!
I completely understand what you mean about loosing part of your brain when you have kids! I think every mom can relate to that! You are so funny, and I know you are doing a great job! I will pray for Jameson's asthma and allergies and that you are able to rest more.
