I Fear the Condition is Worsening

Me: Mommy thinks…

Preschooler:
Your brain isn’t working?

Me: Well, that’s not what I was going to say, but…

Preschooler: Maybe your brain is still in bed like it always is now.

Here’s what Mommy’s thinking at this point: That her pregnesia has worsened to the point that even a 4-year-old notices some reduced cerebral capability.

    I’ve noticed that my kids often finish my sentences because I’ll just stop in the middle of one with no apparent intention of finishing! Thankfully, they seem to know what I’m talking about, anyway :)

    It really does get better, but only by degrees over many years. In the mean time, take your vitamins! :-)

Hi, I’m Kate

 

I'm the author of two nonfiction books Getting Past Perfect and Weightless, a storyteller*, overthinker, eating disorder survivor, mom of five, book junkie, socially awkward nerd as well as a speaker (so basically a walking and talking contradiction), and a perfectionist in recovery.

I am currently working towards my MFA in Fiction at Warren Wilson. Thank you to everyone who has read my drafts, offered feedback, and cheered me on. The writing life is often solitary, but I wouldn’t be here without a community of support.
