Thank you AJ! That means alot to me, coming from you.
Oh yes some problems it really is better to just walk away from. I learned thi first hand after seeing a good friend yesterday for the first time in 3 years. We keep in touch daily but never get to see eachother in person. The drama her husband and daughter have. Her husband is in midlife transition, but it hasn't hit crisis mode thank God. She was so sucked up into and upset, and Im just looking at her thinking" she can't solve this problem. Why is she doing this to herself?"
So I told her to walk away from that drama cause it causes her too much stress. She's on Xanax no and that drama has alot to do with it.
So as we've just discussed we can't solve all the problems and issues, something just struck me this afternoon.
The phenomenon of the MLC amnesia!
XH has forgotten all the girls favorite foods, and favorite treats.
Though some people don't approve, Im a mom that lets the girls EAT THE COOKIE DOUGH before we bake them.
XH knows this. he's seen it 100's of times.
He bakes cookies at his place and when the girls asked for a spoonful of cookie dough, he is repulsed and says " YOU EAT RAW COOKIE DOUGH???? YOU'RE GOING TO GET SALMONELLA POISONING!"
So I thought to myself " that must be that MLC amnesia talking".
I've also noticed that there were times that he made comments to me, things about himself like I didn't know. He explained to me when we were at the hospital for D9's surgery that he can't eat certain types of lettuce because it gives him heartburn as well as many other green vegetables.
I said to him " yes I know, I didn't forget".
How could I? Everything I cooked had to revolve around his GERD!
I am not complaining, but looking at this amensia phenomenon analytically, and find it quite interesting.
What makes swiss cheese brain like this? Is it truly hormonal?
Stress? I ask too, because I kinda have swiss cheese short term memory loss, but I also know it's because Im trying to juggle at least 5 things at once. It seems life just keeps on going and my juggling abilities ave fallen short. Im wondering if my hormones are giving me brain drain or something!
