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...

today i finally found the prescription...now to remember to drop it off!
