Pregnancy brain= hardcore screwup...

OMG my brain is gone. 

I'm a member of the women's committee for the symphony here and we have one big event each year. We do a family picnic. The only thing you have to do is work a shift related to the picnic {most are day of, but I had been given one that I could do before} and buy tickets. Well, about a week ago I emailed a friend who was in charge of the shift work and asked when I needed to have my done, she told me she would get back to me. Well, it was today! I never followed up again and I am not at the picnic. The only reason I remembered it was even today {somehow it was not on my calendar!} is that the sign I had in my yard advertising it was gone when I got home from running errands just a little while ago. Ugh! I hate to be in trouble! I emailed the girl about the nametags and told me I was sorry that I forgot to follow up, but honestly she said she would get back to me, so is it really all my fault or can I blame some on her?

Crap crap crap. I feel like an idiot.

Totally not your fault!

Also, there was like no communication the last few days from the organizers...that would have been helpful for the idiots like me who forget.

Ya they totally should have followed up with you...she said she would get back to you and never did right? Oh well, it happens, don't worry about it.

Yeah, I know. I should have followed up and it's completely unlike me to just totally forgot. Like I did not think about it once this past week. Ugh.

Oh and it's not as large as Jr. League {just quit JL, felt so good!}, we only have about 150 members and I was in charge of the member name tags.  So while it's not the end of the world that people might have had to go without name tags, I still feel bad and like I totally let everybody down. Of course, I'm good friends with the shift work girl and the president this year. Like both are attending my shower...guess I shouldn't count on a gift.

Oh, man! I forget every and anything unless I put it in my phone calendar. Pregnancy brain is really for real. Ha!

I use the old fashioned organizer (which people make fun of me for) and I still mess up dates of everything. Latest mistake was for my maternity pictures. luckily my photographer understood and was able to get us done when I thought it was supposed to be vs the actual date we had set

I am an iCal nut and somehow nothing was on there.

Brutal. It happens to the best of us! Don't beat yourself up. I swear, pregnancy brain is real.

Oops! I hope they're not too mad at you.

Oops! Well it's not the end of the world that they didn't get name tags. Blame it on your pregnancy brain, it's hard for people to get mad at a pregnant lady

It's ok. When there are a lot of people involved, it is easy for coordinators to miss someone. That being said, it is more of your responsibility to reach out to them if they aren't getting back to you within a few days like they said they would. It was miscommunication on both of your parts, and I am sure it will blow over and be better in the future. I highly doubt that they would not bring you a gift because of an honest mistake
