Open sesame

I am so sick of what seems like my perpetual mommy brain! This morning at work, I attended a financial planning seminar and realized that I'd made a biggish mistake on my 401K contributions (granted, I did that when I first returned to work from maternity leave - my first mistake!). I rushed back to my desk and tried to log on to the Web site to correct my mistake, and was faced with a password prompt.

Working for a big company, I have a jillion IDs and passwords to maintain, half of which have to be changed every 6 months or so. I recently replaced all of my hastily and cryptically scribbled Post-It notes (an admittedly UNsecure way to maintain security) with something called a "Password Vault" on my computer, so it's all in one place and I just need to remember one password to get into the vault.

But wait, oh crap... what is my password to the Password Vault??? I am like the woman in that Mervyn's commercial from years ago, with my face pressed against the window quietly chanting "Open open open...." (to my brain, not to the vault, and certainly not to Mervyn's!). It's been almost a year since Evelyn was born... when exactly do I get my brain back?
