Found it.Wanted:
A decent brain.
Not needing one with a genius IQ, just one that will hold a thought for maybe 3 seconds (does it take even that long to put milk back in the fridge?) and help me recall where I took off Oakley's shoes a little faster than 15 minutes and 3 sweeps through the house 2 outside and 2 in the car, and help me focus what I was going into the kitchen for, and what I was talking about before I saw the dog with sun-glasses on walk by, or, or ......
I guess I'm asking for a pre-kids Mom brain.
Maybe I need to carry around a dictaphone and just verbalize every single thought running through my hole-y little brain.
This feels like an opportune time for a, "In heaven, when they were handing out brains, you thought they said ______..." but I can't come up with anything other than trains, and I can't think of how to finish that off.

Your poor brain. Once my dad yelled at me because I put the ice cream in the fridge, but then he realized he was the one who did it.
Oh Sarah I sooo know what you are talking about...and really I can not give you any hope that it will get better...with each new child you have your brain will only get mushier and mushier, my brain is at mashed potatoes right now.
Sorry Sara not Sarah! Dang it! I told you my brain is mush!
I can't even tell you how many times I have done that or put the frying pan in the frig. instead. Oh the joys of being a mother I wonder if our brains will ever come back!
Geez, only you Sara!
In heaven, when they were handing out brains, you thought they said "Growing Pains", and you were all, "No thanks, I'm not really into Kirk Cameron- I'm more of a Scott Baio fan."
Lame... I know.
But that was the only thing I could think of besides trains that rhymes with brains. But I really do think that Charles in Charge was totally better than Growing Pains. Remember when we would tease you that you were ugly Sarah on the show, and Aly would be hot Jamie (with off-the-shoulder shirts and all)? That was awesome. I think we would have to watch it with the volume turned way down too so we could hear when mom pulled up in the driveway in the van and then would quickly turn it off and take our bowls of chips and salsa out of the living room.
Yes, my brain is also randomly wired.

hey, how are you doing? glad to find your blog
hey, send me your email and i'll send you an invite to my blog

You make me laugh. You left your brain food is in my fridge last night.
Crud! That made no sense in past and present tense. I wonder who you got your short attention span from and why you can't think through a single thought anyway. BTW, the milk fits there perfectly.
...you thought they said 'stains' and said no thanks, I already have several in my shorts...
although I liked Jake's way better, along with his "'member when"-I told someone the other day that we made our own firewater by soaking atomic fireballs in water and it would take the zing off the fireballs as well, they didn't believe me. nor did they believe that I used to be able to bribe you guys into doing house work with fireballs, bazooka gum, and sixlets. (talk about brain food, huh?)

Ha ha! Jake and Chris are funny! I loved Charles in Charge, and was totally wishing I could look like Jamie, but just so I could be close to Scott Baio. Do you remember when I had a small 5X7 poster of him stapled to the side of my dresser, down where mom and dad couldn't see? Also, I need to see what I can do get Chris' skills in bribing my kids. I would do ANYTHING back in the day for a fireball.
As far as brains go, I am like Miss said once, the mouse in "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" where one thing I do leads to another, and nothing ever really gets done. Talk about ADHD.
Like being a mother isn't chalanging enough but we have to loose brain cells which makes it even harder to multi- task! What in the heck?? Being a mom is crazy hard and we SHOULD get medals for it!! It does get worse with each kid though and trying to remember schedules and field trips and scouts and activity days...It's a blessing that I can get through the day at all! Melinda~
I don't believe I have ever put the milk away like that before but I DO constantly put things away "in a special place where I for sure won't forget it", and then forget where the special place is.
We can for sure plan on hanging out tons when I move back to AZ in like five years. That's not that far off if you think about it. Our kids will be older, possibly in school and we can do stuff like go to lunch all the time. It'll be awesome to look forward to while we are in the Army! I will remember...I promise!
Sara Palmer - This is Megan Hill. How are you? I came across your blog and just wanted to say hello! You guys look great and your little boy is DARLING! We live in Goodyear now and have 2 little girls.
I have a blog but it is private - I would love to share it with you so if you want, email me your email address and I can add you. I was great reading a little about you and your family.
P.S. Don't feel to bad about the milk - I do stuff like that all the time!
Love, Megan
oh sara. i feel for you. but on the other hand your forgetfulness adds to the hilarity of my day so i have to say...keep up the good err or bad work.
Sara = my favorite blogger.
I was going to say something equally as funny as all these comments, if not even funnier and funny thing is...I FORGOT!
Ha!
(Lame)
You see dogs with sunglasses too?
...kinda like when I look everywhere for 15 minutes to find my keys that are in my pocket...
This reminds me of when we lived with Grandpa Harbaugh and he couldn't find his teeth...sometimes we found them on the bathroom floor of the McDonalds in Globe or the floor of the movie theater or just right there in his mouth! He was ninety three though...wait till you start putting one of your kids away, I almost put Parker in his shirt drawer once!

p.s. my dad NEVER yelled at Colette! I'm sure he thought I did it and took off my door as punishment!
Sara, All I can say is I'm sorry! I understand though!!
Hey Sara!
Your blog is the funniest one out there! You peaked my interest with your post about "These Is My Words", so I read it. It is the best book ever - and I totally agree with you about Captain Jack Elliot - way more dreamy than Edward. Anyways, thanks for the recomendation, and you look way cute with your new hair cut - nice layers!

That is so funny! I found a pound of rotten ground beef in my coat closet the other day, but I'm prety sure that was the work of my 2 year old! Too bad that cupboard is too high to blame it on Oakley! I hate to break it to you but you lose more of those brain cells with each kid- no fair because I really need them.
you thought they said..."drains" you know those things that the brain gets sucked into when it turns to mush! i am just hopeful i spelled "drain"ed correctly...if not oh well, my brain went down the drain two kids ago and that would be kid 3 and 4. ADHD is a fancy pants word for CRS!!!!
