For the last 7 years I have slowly been losing my ability to remember things. I've blamed it on "placenta brain", lack of sleep, well really any number of things, but now I'm starting to think I'm losing my mind. Almost every time I talk to my mother we have at least one conversation that goes like this:
Me: I had no idea! Why didn't you tell me that?
Mom: I did. Twice actually.
Me: No, I would have remembered that.
Mom: Really I did.
Me: Oh.
In the last month I've forgotten to have Princess wear her Halloween costume to her preschool concert (I also forgot the camera), Dude's book-it calendar, a dance class that we go to every Friday, Dude's allergy shots that we go to every Wednesday, and probably a half dozen things I don't remember that I didn't remember. I routinely schedule multiple events for the same day and time because I never remember what I already have going. If this memory loss is related to birthing/raising children I hope my memory returns as the years go on. If not, bear with with me, and please don't hesitate to tell me the same things over and over.

I have the same problem that is why I write it all down. Of coarse remembering to read it is another thing.
Ha!!! I have a great system for remembering things....I'm pretty sure I wrote it down somwhere....now let me think......hmmm, where did I put that????????
So fun to read your blog!!! Aubrey sent me the link the other day. You can catch up on my family at llewellynfam.blogspot.com. Anyway, I haven't remembered a visiting teaching appointment in months - they come to the door and I swear I die at my messy house every time. My husband gets on my case about my bad memory costantly. It got worse with each kid...
soooo what's in remembering??? Highly over rated if you ask me.
