Is anyone a total flake since having kids?

I'm so forgetful lately, and it's not like me at all. I just now remembered that I had a chiro appt this morning...now I get to call and say "sorry, I'm a flake. can I reschedule?" I've done this with a couple doc appts too this pregnancy. I forgot to take underwear on our OOT trip a few weeks ago. Just stupid little things that I would have never done before.

  • I have to make lists for everything now!!  And if it's not on the calendar, it just doesn't exist.  I wasn't like this before either.

  • I don't know if it's the kid so much as the two jobs.  LOL!  But yes, I have been such a space cadet lately, and it drives me nuts.  I forgot to bring my dd diapers and wipes to daycare for four days before I finally remembered.  And our daycare provider, bless her heart, knows how busy I am and that I just forgot so she didn't say anything because she didn't want me to feel bad.  She just used her own dd's diapers and wipes on mine.
  • I can't finish a sentence to save my life... I'm constantly saying, "um, where was I going with that?"
  • You know what's funny...I am only forgetful about my own stuff.  I never forget anything dd needs or any appt she has.
  • And by the wat, you have two kids AND are pregnant.  I think you are allowed to be a bit of a flake, no?
  • I live by my yahoo calendar.  Everything goes on there.  Including important events in other peoples lives, etc.  It's the only way I can keep on top of things.

  • I've always been a total flake, but now I have an excuse.
  • That's me. "total flake" I could not figure out how to turn my blinker off yesterday. I kept turning the windshield wipers on and off. I got so pissed off I just turned the van off. DH was in the passenger seat laughing his ass off.

    When it comes to DD and DS though, everything is routine. I can do it in my sleep. When DH is home on the weekends, he throws me completely off. 

  • Oh, I'm so glad it's not just me!
  • yeah I am really bad too.  Can't remember anything, can't finish sentences.  I hope it gets better.
