You know you are a mom who stays home alot and doesn't have much interaction with other adults when you talk to yourself (outloud) ALOT. I do this. Maybe I have always done it. I dont think of it as crazy at all. I just think that when you are a mom there is rarely a peaceful moment where thought can go on in only your head with out getting terribly distracted and subsequent thought jumbled. SO, I have to talk outloud to myself as a way of reminding myself that I am having an idea or thought and that I should not forget it or let it get lost in the chaos.
This has worked well for me the past couple of years. But this morning, something different happened. Someone answered back to my random gabbing about how I need to go pick up that recycling cart. Had I finally gone crazy and started actually hearing myself answer back without trying? OR was I actually starting to have a two way conversation with myself? Had I gone that far into the introverted abyss of mommydom?
No, Lucie answered me back. Maybe it is time to minimize the absent minded chatter. Who knows what she has been listening to? The rambling mind of a highly distracted working mother who is trying to get by day to day maintaining both a business and a very active and messy household. I would have never thought that mothers have such filthy mouths and soap opera-esque diatribes going on in their minds, and in my case, very aloud.
