I can't remember much of anything. My head spins with what needs to be done, what I am going to do, what I am currently doing, and what I know needs to be done in the near future. In addition, my focus meter goes off kilter often as the sidetrack kicks into full swing.
My son asked me for a bandage for the blister on his toe. By dinner I had forgotten. At bedtime he asked me again. As I walked to the bathroom I saw a pile of clothes on the sink. When I went over to the hamper to deposit the dirty goods, I saw a toy airplane on my bed and picked it up to return to the boy's bedroom.
When I sat on my son's bed to begin prayers for the night he asked, "Where is the bandage?" After I told him that I forgot, and got up once again to retrieve the it, he said, "Never mind, I'll get one in the morning."
I try to make lists, but when I pull out my handy, dandy, notebook to begin the list, I forget what I am supposed to jot down.
I purchase birthday gifts last minute.
Instead of calling people to ask for a favor with 2 days notice, I keep forgetting so I call the night before asking for help.
I have a great calendar that I keep up to date, but sometimes I forget to look at it.
When I get to the grocery store, list in hand, I ofter forget as least two of the items. If I happen to have any children along side of me, I forget 5 items minimum.
I need one day. A full day of nothingness and a whole list of get doneness.
I need one day to run every errand, go to every appointment, complete all of the items on my lists, and make 5 dinners for the week and freeze them.
The weekend just doesn't give me enough time.

is it kids linda? did pregnancy zap our memory?
i have all these symptoms you write of, AND i can't find words.
"throw this in the...uh...mmm..ahhhh...trash" or "don't forget to feed the garage,i mean the ..uh..DOG!"
this helps solidify any thoughts my kids have about me being looney.
I went to the store for laundry detergent and came home with everything but laundry detergent.
