I believe I just get into my groove in the morning and it's a downward spiral until I find myself eating my way through the kitchen between 2 and 3 and wondering why I'm hungry???? Then it happens: My brain wakes up and says, "Hey, you know what? You didn't eat lunch." <BR/><BR/>I refuse to call myself stupid over that, though. I don't think God would be happy to hear my use such names for His creation. <BR/><BR/>As women we are often very involved in the work He has for us. When we forget, perhaps it's just because our focus is on the tasks He has for us. Being a mom is a huge one, and most important as well. Please don't beat yourselves up so badly.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17846383936724708206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-15597003090766701382008-01-23T13:20:00.000-05:002008-01-23T13:20:00.000-05:00"Though, I must say that the little people at my h..."Though, I must say that the little people at my house never forget to eat!

Apparently, though, those brain cells weren't in the hunger area of my brain.

So there's my excuse. Mommy brain is what I call it and it is definitely real. Especially for those of us who stay at home. I think we grow up all over again (brains too) with our kids.

Its like I get sick of looking at food too..

I had some hot tea with me. I drank it. About 1130, when Bible study ended and I headed to pick up the kids, it hit me. I was famished. As I was driving toward home, it was me who couldn't pass the big golden arches. That was the best double cheeseburger and fries I ever ate - and the kids were thrilled with the chicken nuggets, too.<BR/><BR/>Just thought I'd share. You aren't alone. Now I must go fix dinner.Christahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17715524227980649831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-7095998768824292742008-01-22T18:49:00.000-05:002008-01-22T18:49:00.000-05:00I appreciate that reminder.

As I did a couple of silly things today, I had to question is because I lost some brain cells in childbirth,or was it because I was up to late laughing with some P31 friends!!
