Mother's stream of consciousness.

Why is the baby crying? What is that smell? Where did I put my glasses? When did the baby eat last? What did the baby eat last? What shall I make for lunch for him? What should I have for lunch? When was the last time I ate? Did I eat remember to eat breakfast? When was the last time I took a shower? That bump wasn't there yesterday. Where did I put the baby book? How many diapers have I changed so far today? What is that rash? No, baby, don't touch that. When did the baby nurse last? How long did he nurse? When was the baby's last nap? How long has he been asleep? Why is he sleeping so much? Why is he awake already? Does his diaper need changing? Is he hungry? Is he too hot/cold? Where is the sunscreen? Oh, there are my glasses. How did the cereal get all over the floor? Be gentle with the cat, baby, she doesn't like it when you knead her like that. Where is the phone? Where is the remote? Where is the baby's hat? What is that sound? I need to ask the doctor about vaccines. Put that down, please. Not in the mouth. I need a haircut. When was my last haircut? I should really have this bump checked out. Did I turn the stove off? Did I boil his pacifier? Are these carrots organic? What finish is on these blocks? Is it too hot/cold to play outside? Why am I so tired? I feel overwhelmed. Where are my glasses?
