forgetting things

in January 2011 Moms

i have been pretty bad at remembering things lately but last night was the worst!  i was at a friend's parents house, since my friend was visiting from out of town, for her birthday.  well i had to bring DS because DH worked late, and my friend was having a little party with her family and some friends.  things were fine, DS was eating watermelon and getting it all over the place (i.e. his shirt), and a couple other kids brought up some toys for DS to play with.

well i'm getting ready to leave and i change DS's diaper in the living room (everyone else was in the kitchen) and i'm picking up stuff to put back in the diaper bag and then i got distracted because DS found some marble game that one of the kids brought up.

well after i was in bed last night i shot up and remembered i never threw away the diaper!  it was sitting on the living room floor!!  i felt so embarrassed. i guess at least it was just pee :)

    Well that is quite the faux pas isn't it.  I was having trouble thinking of a word the other day and DH said, "don't worry, my book said you would be losing your mind."  Um thanks DH.  
    I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...

    Lol!  Don't worry it was just pee, and if they have kids then they will understand about pregnancy brain too :)

    I've been forgetting a bunch of stuff too.  I was never that forgetful before so I just keep attributing it to the pregnancy.  I've forgotten where I put the laundry room key (found it in a jacket pocket), forgot little things here and there at work (starting to look a bit like a flake but luckily have been there 5 years so most coworkers know it's not my normal and they all know I'm pregnant), but the worst has been forgetting to pay a few bills.  Two bills I forgot altogether, the other I wrote the check but somehow it ended up in my wallet with the cash and change.  I didn't find it for 3 weeks.  Luckily my dentist was cool about it and got a good laugh.  After that I told my husband he better start keeping track of the bills instead of me (just to be on the safe side).  Anyway, your in good company!

    I entirely forgot to pay ALL OF OUR BILLS this month until 2 days ago.  Unbelievable.

    I kind of thought pregnancy brain was a made up thing. Until I started forgetting things left and right. I swear, some days I feel like I'm spinning in circles.

    This morning I put on a shirt and walked to the mirror and noticed it was dirty. I guess I hung it up instead of throwing into the hamper last time? Also, I need to have my cell phone stapled to me...I've lost it at least once every day this week.

    I've been forgetting clothes in the washer and by the time i remember them, i figure i better wash them again because they probably have some sort of mildew or mold starting to grow!
