10. Household items have mysteriously vanished. Currently, the peppershaker is MIA.
9. My once strong and healthy teeth are in a battle with cavities. Unfortunately, they are losing.
8. Iā?Tm in a constant state of cleaning. Forget about taking a sick day or an afternoon off. It will take a week for the house to recover.
7. Germaphobe is now a word I use to describe myself. Once fall hits, I sanitize shopping carts, my kids, and Iā?Tm very suspicious of nearby coughing children. However, Iā?Tm not an extremist. My kids and I donā?Tt live in a plastic bubble like John Travolta in The Boy in the Plastic Bubble. Nevertheless, if they get sick, I get sick, and the whole house goes to hell.
6. I forget where Iā?Tm going while Iā?Tm driving. It doesnā?Tt matter if Iā?Tve driven the path a million times. For an instant, I becomeā?¦lost.
5. Everything I read or watch on the news freaks me out and I no longer know what or who to believe. Should I or shouldnā?Tt I get flu shots, give my children cold medicine, buy toys made in China, get them vaccinated, etcā?¦?
4. Using the bathroom in private is no longer a right, but a highly sought out privilege.
3. Iā?Tve lost time. Iā?Tm not sure where itā?Ts gone or what itā?Ts doing. All I know is that time is one hot commodity that I canā?Tt seem to get enough of.
2. Brain cells are dying with each pregnancy. My ability to form intelligent complete sentences on demand has completely vanished. I like to refer to this as a case of ā?omomitisā?.
1. I would tell you what the number #1 thing is that has happened to me but, I really need to find the pepper, my teeth hurt, I have dishes to do, all the kids in my sonā?Ts preschool have runny noses, the news is on, my kids are asleep so I can pee in peace, I really donā?Tt have any more time to spend on this, and Iā?Tve just lost my train of thought.
