As a stay-at-home mom, it’s hard for me to squeeze in any “real” time for deep thinking on one particular topic. I tend to start thinking about one thing, like The Boy’s wardrobe for example, and just moments later I find myself online looking at all-inclusive family-friendly vacation destinations.
Before I became a parent, my thoughts used to be more organized and full of purpose. I suppose that relates to where I was in my life. I was a corporate gal, and there were daily, weekly, and monthly deadlines that I need to meet. I had to keep my thoughts focused and purposeful.
I prefer the way that I am now, for the most part. More relaxed. More go-with-the-flow. Yet still full of my OCD tendencies that allowed me to be successful in my career.

I am not a parent so I can not blame becoming one on not being able to focus on one subject. I do however notice as I have gotten older my mind has tended to wonder on more then one thing at a time so, I understand what you are talking about.
My thoughts are all over the place. with three boy 3 and under I have a hard time remembering simple things!
I have 4 kids and they make forgetting easy to do when i’m on my way to do one thing and get stopped 4 different times for four different things! When the kids are in bed or at school i’m really good at being focused and staying on track. Darn kids! 🙂
