I’d tell you, but I already forgot

I find myself saying that a lot these days. Just when I’m getting to the point in my recovery where I feel good physically, my mind starts going downhill (my memory that is).

I consider myself a rather organized person (my husband likes to call it detail natzi) and I pretty good at multi-tasking (when you’re the mother of a 5 & 1/2 year old who works full-time and also trys to manage running 50%+ of the household, you don’t have much choice other than mastering it).

At work, I’m usually on top of my game. I stay focused, organized and on task. But lately I’ve been a chaotic mess. I feel like I have the attention span of a 5 year old. I’ll forget to do things or forget appointments (yeah, that hasn’t gone over well). If there’s a task I need to get done, I have to write it down the very minute I think about it, otherwise I’ll be racking my brain 5 minutes later trying to remember what it was I was suppost to remember.

My most recent memory lapse (I like to call them brain farts) was just down right frustrating. I made a list of things I needed to get at the grocery store (yes, I actually wrote them down!) and as I get into my car, i tell myself that I need to remember to grab the cloth totes inside my trunk and bring them with me inside the grocery store. And what did I do? Forget to bring the cloth totes with me inside the grocery store.

Now take this scenario and apply it to all aspects of my life, all day, every day. Woah! Who stole my memroy and when can I get it back? I thought this was all suppost to be behind me by now? I wonder what other little surprises I might have waiting for me in the near future…
