Signs that I am losing it:
1. I told a mommy friend that we would meet her after "hockey" practice.
Well, as far as I know, nobody in my family plays HOCKEY. I don't even think it is hockey season. I cannot even imagine where the word hockey surfaced from inside my brain?! I was not even thinking about hockey. The word just blurted out.
2. I did an oversized load of darks.
Except I forgot to add the clothes.
3. A friendly stranger asked me, "What is your baby's name?!"
With a serious straightface, I replied, "PEARL". And although it may be her middle name, we don't even remotely refer to Alexandra as "Pearl"... we occasionally call her "Alex"!
4. I wrote the date September 27, 2010 on a check yesterday.
The cashier kindly told me that I could not backdate a check by ten weeks. So now I ask where have the last three months gone??
5. After the cashier told me the exact date that we are currently on, I called "V's" school to see if I paid tuition this month because I could not believe that it was already the 10th of December.
So, the lovely lady that answers the school phone informed me that I actually paid twice this past week... and would I like the second check to cover January's tuition?
6. I took my Little "P" to her fun day school on Wednesday.
The school director smiled and politely reminded me that I was a day early. But they indeed looked forward to seeing Little "P" the following morning ... at 9:00 am.
7. Currently I do not have a watch so I am usually early or late. Never on time. On Monday, I was really early -- by two months to be exact -- for a dental appointment.
I was humiliated. I have spent the week contemplating and fighting the urge to find a new dentist.
Could this "mommy brain fog" be a post-partum issue?
Doesn't it go away?
Is it the lack of sleep?
Is it anxiety?
Is it dementia?
Is my plate too full?
I am seriously thinking about POAS (for those of you who don't know this acronym: peeing on a stick) -- I lose my brain when I fall pregnant. But surely that cannot be it. In fact, there is pretty much no way that can be it!! Well, I must go and finish that bottle of Pinot before I think any further about POAS.
