You don't use it you lose it!

So the saying is true, "If you don't use it you lose it"! I used to be this smart woman who wrote  interesting papers, with no grammar mistakes or spelling errors. Now that woman is no where to be found. I knew that by writing this blog I would invoke reactions, one of the reactions I was not expecting was people telling me I need to proof read my blog better, check my grammar closer and to use spell check (which I do). It saddens me that I have lost my touch when it comes to writing. My husband was polite when approaching me with this but my feelings were a little hurt. One of the feelings I hate the most is feeling stupid.

All the baby talk, Disney cartoons and goo goo gaa gaa's have gotten to me. It never even occurred to me that I would turn into this babbling buffoon. I even find it hard to carry on a normal adult conversation. The topic always turns to poop I swear.

Have I become this uninteresting, uneducated (I do have a masters degree), babbling idiot? One of the reasons I wanted to write this blog was to use my brain. I feel like most days I NEVER use it, not once during that day, heck sometimes I swear I go a week without using it.

When I became I mom I knew things would change but I was not prepared for me to lose my "smarts", I didn't have any extra to lose in the first place.
