Absent Minded after Giving Birth!

Posted on December 20, 2007 in Health & Safety, Relationship by little mochi

Hmmm…. 

I think I’ve misplaced my keys more than a dozen times the last month.  I know I’ve “lost” my cell phone twice as many times as misplacing my keys.  And for sure, I’ve forgotten to bring my cell phone with me to work practically every other day.  Lately, I’ve been forgetting to pay the bills – something I rarely forget to do since I absolutely hate late fees.  And just yesterday, I left my house keys in my mom’s car and locked myself out of my own house.  It doesn’t get any better either.  This morning, my mom called me at 5:30 am to tell me that I forgot my wallet in her car as well!

So here I am, at 5:31 am driving to work, thinking about all the times I’ve misplaced my belongings.  I’m finally realizing that I have become very absent minded since the baby.  Why is this happening to me?  Surely I’m not getting old?!!?

So here’s my excuse:

  1. My morning routine is now a little more complicated. Husband just returned to work so I’m running around more often.  More things are on my mind.  Wake up at 4:00 am, feed him if he’s awake, change him, wipe his face, mix 3 bottle of formula for my husband to bring to my mom (my mom baby sits), wash up, get dressed, and go to work.
  2. It’s my last week of work before the company has a shut down for the holidays (yes, the company will be shutting down until Jan 3, 2008.  Lucky me!).  So I’m trying to get a lot of things done at work before we shut down.
  3. It’s the holidays!  Who doesn’t get stressed out during this time of the year?  All the planning, the shopping, the baking, and the cooking.  By the time we meet for our family Christmas dinner, my smiles are forced.  The only good thing that ever really comes out of it is that the 405 freeway is much lighter so the drive home is nice.
  4. With the baby around, how do you expect me to find time to clean the house?  My house is a mess, making it even more difficult to find things.
  5. Even if I do have the time, where do I find the energy to clean?  By 10 pm, I can barely keep my eyes open.
  6. I have been really busy working on a new project.  I’m going to be launching a baby newsletter soon.  Things have been really hectic lately trying to get it together and hope to have my first issue by mid January 2008.  Get a free lullabye CD for subscribing!  (Ok, so this is a little strange since I’m self promoting, but hey!  I’ve got sell my newsletter somehow somewhere, right?). Although the newsletter is not quite ready yet, you can still pre-subsribe.  Click here:  BabyWriter

anyways, these are just my excuses for being so darn forgetful, so darn absent minded!  So, what’s your excuse?
