baby brain


Mom Achievement Unlocked: baby brain

 my already scatterbrained self really is a hot mess now when it comes to my memory.  i have to write everything down or do tasks immediately ( even then i get distracted on the way, do the new thing & forget the original). don't get me started on remembering to put wash in the dryer...or take dry clothes out of the dryer...i usually don't remember to brush my teeth until 4pm unless i'm actually getting ready to go out somewhere. even as i type this i've just remembered there's a bottle of pumped milk that needs to go in the fridge...brb...


...i've heated up the same cup of coffee five times in one day! i kept finding it abandoned in the microwave. "oh right, coffee! i should heat this back up"...and the cycle would continue.

 recently i forgot where i put a prescription. i scoured every coat and every purse (sigh, at one point i thought i found it, went to the pharmacy and the technician looked at me with confusion & a decent measure of sympathy before she and handed it back saying "this is for a massage, for your insurance coverage".
