mush brain

I am currently suffering from mush brain. Mush brain (not a scientific term) is what happens to your thought process after extended periods of sleep deprivation and frequent interruptions of what little sleep you are allowed to get. As a result, I have very little motivation to do much of anything beyond life's necessities and have even found it difficult to form coherent sentences.

Fortunately, it has not affected the part of my brain that tells me to point the camera at my babies' faces and click relentlessly.

At toes, too.

And at flowers from my sweet hubby for our unofficial 7th anniversary. Unofficial because it's the anniversary I made up to keep track of our relationship before we got married and had a real anniversary to celebrate each June. Which is kind of downplaying the fact that September 6th, the date of said unofficial anniversary, not only marks 7 years since our first kiss (a true life "are ya gonna kiss me or not" situation), it also marks 4 years since he proposed (a completely "his idea with very little persuasion from me" situation).

And last, but not least, at sunflowers. Sunflowers that are short and amazing and unlike any other sunflower I've seen. I'm definitely putting some of these in my yard next year.

It looks like once I get started, the sentences start flowing a little more freely. So maybe mush brain isn't completely accurate, as it appears my thinking can regain shape with a little effort. I think bread dough brain might be a little more appropriate, or maybe ground beef brain (in keeping with the food theme). And now, after continuing on with this train of thought for a minute, I think I'll just stick to my original point, which is: Not sleeping is very bad for your ability to think clearly and speak coherently, and it's probably better if I just stop there.
