I'm so frustrated - this week I've forgotten something super important every.single.day. Monday, I forgot to bring my laptop to work and had to drive 30 minutes home and 30 minutes back because I didn't realize it until I was walking into the offoce. Tuesday I forgot to bring DS's bag with me to daycare - DH was able to bring it after I dropped him off, but then DH forgot the milk! Today, I forgot my pump - I brought the parts, but no motor. lovely.
Luckily I learned from you all to have a manual pump at the office as a backup, but I'm still really annoyed with myself. I try to pack everything up the night before and put it by the door, but the pump charges overnight so I missed it.
I also started a new job about 3 weeks ago and I'm just not feeling as "on the ball" as I used to be. Some things just don't occur to me as they used to, like I can't think as far ahead about ramifications or next steps, when I ask or find out I think to myself, duh, I should have known that...I used to know that!
I'm sure this is just an adjustment to really being back at work (my last job was really lax at the end so I kind of feel like I was working PT and not using my brain much), but still....please tell me it gets better?? I'm feeling like I'm only half as good at everything as I used to be
Re: Arg - when does "Mommy Brain" go away?!
I have daily issues. Did I leave the garage open? Is the oven on? Where are my keys? Where is my phone?
DD is 2.5.
