I quite often suffer from "brain fog". You know, when you put things in the cupboard instead of the refrigerator. Or you walk out of the laundry room on the way to get the next load and immediately forget that you were getting a load of laundry. When I was pregnant with my first, we were behind a car whose license plate had a "D" in the middle. For the life of me, I could NOT remember what it stood for and I knew I should! (It means it's a Dealer plate, by the way!).
This topic came up on with some ladies from church, so I decided to look up some information on it.

Maybe some day I'll be able to remember what I'm doing for more than 10 seconds!
