Pregnancy Side Effect?!

Memory loss.  Oh my gosh, how awful I feel today about pregnancy-induced memory loss.  It's as if everything on my calendar was written in invisible ink.  There's a reason to keep a calendar with reminders on your phone, the dang thing "beeps" at you with reminders of upcoming events.  Now, if only that phone had been turned on first thing this morning, my day wouldn't have started out with such a theme!

At 7:15 am I looked at the clock and realized I was 15 minutes late for a meeting at the high school.  I could blame the teacher who moved the meeting from yesterday to today, but no, it was not her fault.  I did remember yesterday not to show up at 7 am (when the weather was horrible) and reset the reminder to today.  Sigh.  Instead, I was at the kitchen table helping Henry with math homework when I felt this sinking feeling.  A very coordinated effort by Miss Linda and I blew it.  The first apology email of the day sent, immediately.

Next up...  I made Oliver a cold lunch.  Clearly reminded last night before I closed my eyes that he was having hot lunch today because it was pizza day.  Yeah, well, I guess it's a good thing it was still in the fridge when I called to apologize to Oliver and told him to just leave it there until tomorrow and enjoy his pizza.

And then there's plans with girlfriends...  lunch and dinner!  Both forgotten, but luckily not before I blew it and left them each stranded at the respective restaurants.  At least I will eat well today. 

So for today, I apologize for the invisible ink (yeah, that's it, not memory loss) on my calendar.  The phone is turned on and the reminders are back to "beeping" at me.  If only I can make it through to the end of the appointments today and turn this luck around.

Mea culpa.  I'll make it up to you when the brain cells return. I promise.

And from my loving husband just now, when I emailed to apologize for my memory loss today:

No problem
We all love you
