Emz, I so get you with the whole mummy brain.
I do sudoku, crosswords, I play texas holdem poker online (for free), watch one of my many dvds, read books... I am running out of ideas. Wish I had a part-time job at home, or a cool project. Wait? I bake and cook alot (which ends up costing me loads $$).
We should start a club. Mummy brains annonymous... wait? Isn't that what OhBaby is for?

I read usually about 2-3 books a week, the paper every day and I keep up with NZ news online but I get most of my mental stimulation from DH. We debate all the time, from religion to politics, anything really- I love it
I really struggled the first couple of years but I find I'm getting better now. I love being able to read about lots of different things- when I was at uni I only read my text books, when I worked I only read fluff because I didn't want anything too heavy at the end of a long day- but now my day to day life isn't very intellectually stimulating I find I crave books that make me think.

I agree about the puzzles, I do the word ones on Facebook, can keep me entertained for hours.
Sometimes I play Sims2, read the Herald online, read my cook books and make up shopping lists...
Have the odd dumb moment like today when I couldnt' figure out why the crockpot light was on... yeah I'd forgotten to plug it in... I discovered it about an hour after I "thought" I had

Oh my I know what you mean, I think it is really good to talk to people that dont have children some times as it really is a different language that they speak.
The reading is good and I loved it when I started my own business with the accounts side of things order etc all get the brain going,
And thats where I get my adult contact to so works well all around
just wish I started years ago then I might not have lost the first 80% of my brain

Do you feel like you’re getting stupid?
