Oh my gosh, yes. Sometimes I wonder how I make it through the day. LOL.

I can just see you doing this! LOL
I used to worry that I had early onset Alzheimers or something but my bioidentical hormones fixed most of that. Whew! But it's soo annoying!
Diann,
Is it good news or bad that I guessed you were the blogger of the day without looking? LOL! It's become a little game with myself to see if I can tell. I was pretty sure it was you .... don't ask me why. :-)
And yes ... I do it too. In fact, I worry that my girls are going to end up with some sort of weird complex because their mother wanders the house -- apparently aimlessly!
LOL, Beverly! Yeah, I think people who have followed the blog can tell our voices apart now. Kind of scary, huh?
Lynn, I feel your pain!
Colleen, I know you remember things, that's why I tell you things I don't want to forget. :-)
It's so easy to get off track. With today's electronics, it's hard to get focused and stay focused. I have to disconnect at least one day a week and get all my stuff done: blog, more edits, more writing, making appts. etc.
We have ALL done that. Although it won't help much with the document issue, what I do to keep focused when life gets hectic is to take a ledger pad and make multiple lists based on the top areas I need to keep organized. Since they're all on the same sheet, they are all available at a moments glance. There are lists for church, home, work (writing), school, and emails (to send). And then I carry it with me EVERYWHERE so I don't get off track.
I do lists, too, Beth. Unfortunately, I lose them. :-(
Yep, especially when I am cooking breakfast. I tend to forget that I am going to cook and start picking up stuff, until my children inform, rather loudly, "MOMMY, WE'RE HUNGRY!" LOL!
I can relate. Last year I had surgery that brought on "the change" with a force. Although I had some symptoms beforehand, my family is getting acquainted with this new person who can't find keys, her purse, where I was going, where were the kids supposed to go, did I pay that bill...last week I forgot all about my hair appointment. So thankful for grace!
Diann,
I'm more forgetful than ever, and my teens love to tease me about it. My hubby and I get into more disagreements, because I just KNOW I told him something...and he just KNOWS he told me...but I have no memory of it at all.
I just say "If you had as much information stuffed inside your head as I have stuffed inside mine, some things would fall out, too!"
The sad thing is, I can still remember my first boyfriend's address...and that was over 25 years ago.
Maybe if I cleared out my mental filing cabinets????
Beverly, I do that, too, guess who is writing the blog without looking. LOL.
Diann, I am so impressed that you could remember all the steps it took to get that document. I'm to the point where I can't even recall what I just did.
I do all the time, go into a room and just stand there looking around and saying "why did I come in here?"

I do the same thing, Diann. And like Colleen, I was concerned about early onset Alzheimer's. Guess it's time to switch to get HRT checked.
You had the kids! You can't think with kids around, it's just a fact of life!
LOL, yes. I try to remember what I heard big bird say when my girls were little and watched the show.
"Walk backward in your mind" and you will remember.
Personally over the long, long years, I have learned to go back to what I was doing and ask God to tell me what I was looking for. It usually works, but sometimes not right away. As a grandma, too, I think some of it is just getting older. Of course, I do get distracted easily and chase rabbits. :)
I was going to add something else, but can't remember the question..
Thanks, girls, for letting me know I'm not alone in this!
And here I was afraid it was the diet pop (don't hit me, C!). ;-)
I love this blog! After my deadlines, I am definitely coming back for more. I write lots of health stuff, coauthored the preggo guide Big, Beautiful and Pregnant, and am now stressing out finishing a super huge project. And before I forget!!! Here is why I started this rambling post... Please check out this article on forgetfulness/fuzzy thinking from Women to Women. It's all about hormones, ladies!
