Memory

I just thought of another thing that mothers forget to tell you before you're a mother- you forget everything.  For instance, I remember mh1's first steps (we were in my living room and she was toddling between me and my Aunt Trish).  I can't remember mh2 except for she was a fat little monkey that didn't walk until she was like 14 months old.  mh3 just started walking like 2 years ago and I can't remember it at all.  I realize that God has created our brains to forget the hard parts of motherhood but what about the good parts?  I want to remember things.  I need ginka biloba or whatever that memory pill is.

My advice to new mothers, write EVERYTHING down.  Don't just write the dates of stuff.  When is not important, how is what is important.  Blog or get a journal.  Do something because it goes by so fast and it's so hard to remember it all.

Random info:
-I am reading a book called The Rook.  Pretty good (I found interest in it after getting on Goodreads.com  if you are a reader check out that site)
-After getting off Facebook I have so much less traffic on here
-I just downloaded some new songs from iTunes (my favorite so far being Hell on Heels by Pistol Annies)
-The kids favorite songs right now are Call me Maybe, Gangnam Style, and This Girl is on Fire
-I want to do a Harlem Shake video with my class
-I still haven't gotten up the rope
-The Ex fixed our furnace for less than $30 and you don't really realize how much comfort you take for granted until you sleep in a house with no heat
-I need to give props to my baby sister.  She doesn't realize how great she is and how much I look up to her.  I love her so much.
