It goes without saying for any new mom that somehow our memory deteriorates almost immediately after having said newborn, as we are instantly thrown into reactionary instead of proactive mode. So that's where I find myself these days - unable to keep short term memory for extended period of time (not to mention, being around Baby1 all day gives me a newfound encyclopedia of toddler language and loss of adult language) - that is, until I'm nursing. Then all of a sudden, when I don't have a hand to do anything, I remember all kinds of stuff that I need to do or get, and no way of recording my recalled memory. Maybe I should just attach my crackberry to Baby2, and then whenever I pick up Baby2, I can record my memory at a touch of a button without having to remember to grab said crackberry.
So as if I'm not thrown into a tailspin already with two little ones in tow, I am now nursing a sore throat. Not much except Jello feels good on my sore throat, and there's no way I can rest it as Baby1 insists on an unending string of "what's that what's that what's that what's that what's that what's that" all day long. But, I did get to making a 6-strand challah today... haven't yet tried it, but if my throat feels all right tomorrow, I may try a slice. Substituted about 2oz of the 16.75oz AP flour with wheat flour - we'll see how it turned out!
