Will I ever be able to remember?

I can't remember anything any more. I reminded myself multiple times to grab our car paperwork so I could refinance our auto loan, forgot it, I left my work badge on my desk on Friday and had to be escorted in today, I forgot to put the milk away yesterday. There is something I reminded myself to do today, but I can't remember what the heck it is. I used to have a great memory and lately I feel lucky to leave the house with my pants on.

It is a terrible feeling when you remember that you forgot what you were supposed to remember, but you have no idea what it was you were suppose to remember in the first place.

I still haven't recovered my brain since having my DD over 2 years ago. It got worse with my DS. I sop mid sentence because I just can't remember the words. I hate it! 

Lists are my best friend, without lists I wouldn't remember 1/2 of what I needed to.

I have been making lists for everything now too. I was told by a L &D nurse that the "baby brain" would go away after 1 year but I still see no sign of my pre-baby brain. I hope it returns soon because I really need it!

I'm horrible too.  But I wanted to THANK YOU because reading this reminded me to contact my mortgage broker to discuss refinancing the house.

You are welcome, now if I could only remember what important thing I was supposed to do today...hmmm

Oh, and it is not helping that I am dealing with a second language all day instead of my mother tongue.

Nope, it gets worse.  I put everything into my notes or reminder apps on my phone!

I was starting to worry that I might be in the early stages of alzheimer's.

I used to pride myself on never leaving my crap at other people's houses.  Now, I'm constantly saying "Oh, I can't find my ______, can you see if I l left it at your house?"  It's embarrassing, I feel sloppy and not put-together.

Left C's one and only sippy cup with a straw at our friend's house last night, dammit.
