Lately I feel like I can't stay on top of things. I am so forgetful I'll start doing something and as soon as I stop to do something else I can't remember what I was doing before! It's awful. I was told how forgetful I would get when I was pregnant and that is very true! But no one told me that the mommy brain stays after the baby is born. Some days I can't remember my name or what day of the week it is. I thought once I had my son that I would become more aware of things, but I was wrong. I used to be an amazing multitasker now I can barely do two things at once because the rolodex in my brain is going a thousand miles a minute. I make lists and write down things everywhere. One time I was looking for my phone and it was in my hand! I know a lot people make New Year resolutions about spending less, getting healthy, or leading a less stressful life but mine is to work hard to remember things and to become better a multitasking. I apologize if I haven't returned phone calls, text messages, or emails my brain has been out to lunch and I apologize again if I haven't been keeping in touch with you, I didn't fall of the face of the earth but with a little one it's hard to get out of the house, but give me some time and I'll be back to my normal self!
Jackson is 18 months... and I still have mommy brain..but believe me, when push comes to shove, and Hubby gets deployed..you'll straighten up and remember, until you settle back into having him home again..
ReplyDeleteThere was a period in time when I didn't leave the house for like 2 weeks because I would always forget something. Don't worry, you'll find ways to remember things and work it out. I keep a planner and write everything that comes to mind in it.
