<p>I woke up at 5:30 this morning with a flash of insight. I finally remembered where my cell phone was. It had been missing since 3 pm on Wednesday when I put it in a safe spot-- a dining room chair-- while I was straightening up. Of course it was such a "safe" spot, that I couldn't find it. And not only that, I had silenced the ringer because of nap time, so calling myself was useless.</p>
<p>Does this ever happen to you? Do you find yourself forgetting things because you are so preoccupied with work and kids and stuff? <a href=" http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/23501326/">The Today Show</a> and <a href=" http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2008-03-03-momnesia_N.htm">USA Today</a> say it happens to a lot of moms and they're calling it "momnesia." Today did a whole piece this morning on momnesia and the kids and I were included in the video. Click <a href=" http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/23501326/">here</a> if you want to check it out. The story ran again, in a slightly different version, on <a href=" http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032619/#23505815">NBC Nightly News.</a></p>
<p>If you watch the piece, you'll learn about some of my other momnesia highlights...like the time I bought groceries at the supermarket, and then drove away, leaving the bags behind. I didn't realize my blunder until I got home. But hey, at least it wasn't the kids who were left behind. Small victories.<br />
