Pregnancy Amnesia...

So, I have self-diagnosed myself with pregnancy amnesia... Who knew my absentmindedness could get any worse than it already is?!?! Anyway, step into my mind for a moment....



1) I lost my car in the parking lot at WalMart on Sunday. Half of this I blame on the fact that I actually went into the "super" store. I found myself pushing the cart up and down the aisles with the Rover nowhere to be found. After realizing I was the idiot who was cruising the parking lot-what did I do? Well, I called my Mommy of course. I am sure she was wondering what she could do, being in Idaho Falls and all.... I thought I would look much cooler on my cell. Like I was a work alcoholic or something and distracted with my very important conversation... Yeah. Right... Anyway, I DID find my car. By the way, did you know that they post "row numbers" in parking lots like that? I didn't. Thanks for the tip Mom!



2) I asked Matt (in a snotty way, I'm sure) why he didn't replace the bag in the kitchen garbage. He didn't know what I was talking about... Then, I realized that I had forgotten about my 5 second attempt at motivation of emptying the garbage from the rest of the house into the kitchen garbage bag. I guess I stopped after the second room and left the gross-smelling garbage on the floor in our office. Oops. Sorry, Matt.



3) I misunderstood an email from a friend of mine, Dar. She had just started a new job and was mentioning the names of her co-workers. Towards the end of the email she wrote, "and Jesus is the mediator for all of us." I am actually best friends with her boss. So, I was working out with Allie (her boss/manager) and I asked Allie when she had hired Jesus (pronounced Hesus-Spanish). Right after the words came out of mouth, I realized I was on a totally different page than Dar.



4) A couple weeks ago, I moved to a new gym down the street from where I used to train my clients. I have driven to the old gym twice now.



5) I went to the store yesterday (Albertson's this time!) and forgot why I was there. I left with a loaf of bread, some napkins and a pack of gum. I am still not sure why I needed to go in there....



6) I find myself drifting in and out of conversations just to daydream about the fact that I am going to be a Mom!!! I have been very distracted and preoccupied about our new adventure...



I appreciate all of you being patient and laughing with/at me! :) I apologize if over the next 7 months, I forget your name, neglect to return phone calls/emails or call you when I lock my keys in the car (it is bound to happen). Hopefully, I will be back to my partially ditzy self in no time... I am crossing my fingers that this pregnancy is not permanently disintegrating my brain cells!


Have an unforgettable day...

Mel :)
