"think" outside or inside the box

These were added just to show the doodle in the smallest box ever.

Or 'think' not at all....that's where I fit in. I think with age and also having had children, my mind is slowly melting away. Although I have been promised my mind will be "clear and active all my days..." it may be clear and active with things that I make up that aren't reality since I can't remember anything! I was at the preschool today (we've been at this preschool for 5 years starting with Hunter) and there's a keypad outside the door to let you in. I stood there and tried every code I could think of and couldn't get in. I had to wait for another parent to arrive to tell me the stupid code. HELLO? Why can't I remember it!? This is the second time in a month I couldn't remember it - at least the first time I knew I couldn't remember and I called them before I left so they could tell me what it was. I feel like I am rapidly losing my mind....I can't remember things like I used to...it's so horrible, because I used to be able to remember such details! ARGH!

In researching what could be the cause - I was surprised to find out that age really shouldn't be a factor...that there is no conclusive evidence that age causes memory loss, however, depression, stress, lack of sleep, and others can contribute. nice.



So, I guess I need to figure out what vitamins I am deficient in start writing research papers, and doing calculus equations, and my mind might sustain itself....who am I kidding? I'm too tired to add those to my life, so for now I will just be a little bit of a ditz at the door of the preschool trying to remember the code (that I've known for 5 years). I. Am. Awesome!


not a great picture of me at all - but one of my kids took it with my phone...
