how bad is your memory these days?

selenamarino · September 2011

I can't seem to remember anything!!! Literally on the phone with the hubby making dinner plans of homemade pizza with the kids. I hang up and look in the fridge to find we have no taco sauce and call him back asking him to pick some up on his way home. needless to say he was confused because we were having PIZZA not TACOS.

I emailed my son's teacher to appologize for not signing his test folder. her response was, "but you did."

And that is just tow examples and im still early on.

I had a very hard time with this particuarly in first tri. It would get embarrassing b/c I'd be on conference calls at work and just forget words...it got better, but that "pregnancy brain" is no joke!

I never got my memory back.

I suck at work these days.

I like to call it goldfish brain.

Last week, I forgot my own zip code. Seriously.

At least maybe I'll be over it soon then.

I had to ask my doctor is this was normal a couple of weeks ago... I never realized it was this bad! I forget what I am saying in the middle of a sentence... such a downer.

My memory still sucks. In fact, I feel like my mind doesn't work have the time. The other morning, I had just pulled out of our neighborhood and realized I took DH's car instead of mine. Talk about doing something stupid.

not a good thing. I work in a small law office and today my boss gave me something and said prepare an assets list. I've never done that before but I did it. He looked at me and said "Selena, where is the DDL" (Detailed Descriptive List). I felt like crawling under my desk. I can do a DDL in my sleep!!!

OMG. Thank GOD it isn't just me!

I can't spell for the life of me! I used to be a great speller

I put the orange juice in the pantry...and blamed the bagger at store for forgetting to put it in my bags:( Losing it!

It's horrible, I don't remember stuff I did 5 minutes ago half the time. As long as I remember things needed to take care of the girls I'm ok.

I'm sorry, what was the question again? I forgot.

jdancer5 · September 2011

I like to be positive & encouraging, but this one honestly has not gotten better for me. DH just reminded me last night that since the boys were born, I've lost my Oakley's, the *only keys to our truck, and my bluetooth... None of which have been seen since. You can't argue with facts.

I'm almost positive I recycled a stamped, addressed birthday card with cash in it. I think I went to let the dog out and recycled it on the way out the door instead of dropping it in the mailbox. I can't find it, and SIL hasn't gotten it. I had to go buy another one, stick more money in it, and gave it to DH to mail.

JesseKhloe&Me · September 2011

My family and DH call my Dory half of the time because I forget EVERYTHING. Mine never came back, I forget words,names, what I did yesterday. It's so frustrating, especially when you are talking to someone and you look like a moron because you forget words.

What was the question again???

haha I posted my reply before even reading any of the replies... great minds think alike right?

smeyer · September 2011

At first, I blamed it on the pregnancy. After the babies were born, I blamed it on sleep deprivation. Now, I just accept that motherhood has turned my brain to mush. I don't think my former co-workers know how lucky they are that I became a SAHM. I would have been costing a multinational company millions of dollars, all because of my own airheadedness (is that even a word??).

In a nutshell... I wish I could tell you that it gets better but you might want to plan on keeping a post-it in your pocket with your name and address. Don't bother putting the info in your phone because you'll forget to bring it with you.

I didn't either. Iam so scatter brained. I sometimes can't finish sentences. I am trying to get more iron, it's scary!!

kmb585 · September 2011

Yes, I will add that it didn't get any better after 1st tri, or 2nd, or 3rd for that matter. As yesterday in the shower I forgot if I shampoo'd my hair right after I had just done it and shampoo'd my hair twice...at least I think I did Embarrassed

Mine is absolutely horrible!! I live out in the country and whenever I need to go to town for something its like 15 miles away...the other day I drove to town..and completely forgot what I went for..I ended up going back home not remembering what I had gone to town for in the first place! lol it wasn't until like 2 days later that I finally figured it out! Quite often i've been forgetting what i've been talking about to! Like, I'll be int he middle of a conversation and just stop with this blank look on my face because I have no idea what I was just talking about!! Its terrible!!
