Using My Brain

I've heard many times that humans use a mere fraction of our brain - even really smart humans. That is really sad for the rest of us who struggle in general! Sometimes I feel like I only use 5% from day-to-day, if that. Evidence of this:

• I forgot to change out of my robe before leaving the house
• I drove off with the gas pump still in my car
• Recently I went to the craft store, spent forever in there picking out paper, only to realize I forgot my wallet
• While filling out a form for Ethan's pediatrician, I forgot that ETHAN was the patient, not myself
• I had someone recently tell me they were training to be a nursing assistant, and I came back with, "At least you won't be a CNA, that would suck!" ...then I realized that's exactly what she was talking about
• I commented to a lady that she had 3 beautiful sons. She didn't have 3 sons, she had 2 - one was a girl

Need I go on? Currently I am applying to grad school *Yay!* ..the only bad news is, applying takes a lot of concentration, and I'm just not down with that. Give me a diaper - wham! I'll have it changed. Give me nasty poop-stained clothes, I've got you covered. Ask me to write a personal statement, I have no idea how to sit down and concentrate long enough to do this. Wish me luck, and pray that I can figure out how to use my brain again!

....Can you tell I'm supposed to be writing it right now? Procrastination - my long lost friend.
