How to treat Motherhood.

So I went to the doctor to get a checkup last week and as I walked into the waiting room I muttered out loud " Wow, it's empty in here." As I turned the corner, I see one patient sitting in the room. He looked up at me and I nervously smiled and said "Hello". I signed my name in and went straight to a chair wondering, if he had heard me. I sat down and thought did I actually say that out loud. While debating whether I said it out loud or whether he heard me, my name was called into the office. Thank god!

Now later that day, I was at Publix and found myself talking and singing to my daughter as we cruised down the aisles. I spouted off my list to Jameson saying, "we need milk and butter. Where is the butter?" A customer looking at yogurt looked at me like I was crazy. Did she think I was talking to her? I wasn't. I was talking to Jameson or was I just talking it out or was I losing my mind or was I trying not to lose it?

I started paying more attention to saying my thoughts out loud. I realized I talk out loud all the time with or without my daughter around. I guess I'm trying to focus on what I am doing without being distracted, but could it be a sign of something else. So I Googled www.WEBMD.com with this symptom and "Motherhood" kept coming up. After reading the signs and symptoms, I self diagnosed myself. When I first caught symptoms of Motherhood, I had happiness, nausea, hunger pains and sleepless nights. Then after 9 months I really showed signs of being lethargic, cranky yet still happy all at the same time. Then the Momnesia kicked in. I couldn't remember where I put the car keys, my wallet or what I had for breakfast. Now I'm talking to myself. That's the next symptom. It then listed pure joy, starting family traditions, adding to your family, along with denying your husband and Facebook addiction (that is apparently a new one). These symptoms will never go away, but they can be treated with a spa day, a glass of wine, or the husband getting up with the kids. Once I read the treatment, I felt much better.

So I have decided to treat myself, this Sunday at the spa using my gift certificate that is due to expire. At least for 55 minutes, I will be in remission.
