So. Many. Wedding. Details. I have to write every thought down, otherwise it escapes, never to resurface.
I know pregnant women get forgetful, but no one mentioned this happens when you're planning a wedding, too.
Yesterday, I forgot my work badge. Didn't occur to me I didn't have it on until I after I'd parked my car. Later in the day, I remembered the badge was in my purse; I'd hauled it around with me in case I needed to go to the office over the weekend but I forgot to go.
This morning, I forgot to apply deodorant. Not so good when it will be in the 90s today. Fortunately, I keep a stick in my desk drawer for just such emergencies.
Still, I don't like being perpetually scattered. Is this how flaky people feel all the time?

AWESOME!
you're pregnant too?
(let's see how long that little rumor takes to get around.)
evil anonymous friend.
Yes.
Wait until you start breastfeeding. Ho ho, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
Salmon. Lots of salmon. And hard-boiled eggs. I think that helped me avoid the pregnancy stupids, anyway. The not enough RAM problem is a little different; I remember feeling that way right before the bar exam. Couldn't remember people's names, etc. Anyway, it will get better--I just hope you have enough time to dump the extra data before you get to McAllen and have to learn a whole bunch of new people's names!
You made my stomach flip with this little comment: Still, I don't like being perpetually scattered. Is this how flaky people feel all the time?
The fear of that feeling is precisely why I have never minded being called anal retentive.
OMG, it gets worse with pregnancy AND breastfeeding? Why has no one ever prepared a Young Women's lesson on THAT useful information!?
I brought a hardboiled egg for my afternoon snack. And not a moment too soon.
Looking forward to some down time at the beach and 10 days in Sedona for data dumping. That is, if the fires don't mess with our plans and if I can stop obsessing about sending out announcements and figuring out the Utah open house details.
I have just checked out "The Mommy Brain" from the library and I think there's a section on how breastfeeding affects your thinking -- supposedly to debunk the popular wisdom that it makes you a space case. I dunno, maybe I was a space case to begin with. Everyone's brain chemistry is different, though.
Holly, I only discovered after I grew up that the reason my mother was so anal is because she is actually a total scatterbrain. She had us all fooled all those years.
