Memory loss...

My memory hasn't been so great lately. My sweet boys have learned to humor me and answer to whatever name I say, even if it includes the dog, Tyson. My husband has just given in to it and accepts the fact that I probably won't remember tomorrow what he is telling me today. If I can't finish a sentence right now, he knows to just give me a bit, I will.

This problem doesn't affect just my home life. Work is just as bad. Today I turned around, walked into the office directly behind me and forgot what I was going to tell a co-worker. After standing there for a few minutes and staring blankly at a piece of paper it came to me.

I have never really remembered very much about my childhood but now it is getting so I really don't remember much about my adulthood, even if it happened just last week.

What on earth is causing this? I really do want to remember things. I want to be able to remember at what age each of the my children started to walk or talk. Just the other day the boys were asking at what time of day they were each born. I had to look at their birth certificates. I'm only 38 (going to be 39 in May) years old. I shouldn't have this problem, right?

So I did a little research. It would appear that my memory loss could be associated with fatigue, weight and/or high blood sugar levels. Hmm. So basically, I need to eat right, exercise, and get plenty of rest/sleep. Do these people who come up with this stuff have kids?

"Plenty of rest/sleep" really hasn't been much of an option since the year 2000. I still have to lose the "baby weight" from number 1...2...3...and of course, number 4. Blood sugar, well, it really isn't that bad but I'm sure it could be better.

So my goal is to really work on getting my memory back (and the rest of my health). In the meantime, I am once again so thankful for this blog that can act as a journal for me so I can remember the important things that happen.

Thank you for letting me share them with you.
