Blinding Brilliance

I used to be really smart. Seriously, I was valedictorian of my high school class and I had like a 3.8 something in college.

Today I made coffee.  Or rather, I tried to.  The first two times, I put water in the pot but NO COFFEE GROUNDS.

Yes, the first two times.

The third time, I succeeded.

Later in the evening, I had occasion to make more coffee.

I did it again.

THREE TIMES IN ONE DAY. I forgot to put the coffee grounds in THREE TIMES and brewed a pot of hot water THREE TIMES.

I used to be smart.  Then I had three babies and lost 1/3 of my brain with each one, and to be honest with you, sometimes I am amazed I can even put together a sentence.

I miss the old me.  I aim for coffee in most of my pursuits but I seem to come out with hot water much of the time.

And usually burn my tongue on it.

  1. Dude. I haven’t even had the kid and the pregnancy brain is killing me. Tom told me Friday that maybe I should carry a little notebook with me to write stuff down if I can’t remember it. I lose entire conversations. It is wild.

  2. Well, at least you didn’t cause a big controversy over at Facebook! Geeezzz!!
    And, Mrs. Duggar uses instant coffee.

  3. Jen, you must be contagious cause I just did it with my iced tea pot! Lovely pitcher of water I got!
