I was putting Bugz to sleep when D walked in.
D: Let’s watch a movie.
Me: enh? It is 11:00 at night and I want to sleep.
D: Come on. Watch with me.
Me: I am really tired and want to sleep as soon as she sleeps.
He tried a few more times after which he gave up and headed down by himself.
Bugz was being extra fussy and it took me good 2 hours to get her to sleep after which I passed out. I woke up next to a kiss on my cheek.
Me: What happened?
D: Nothing.
I drifted back to sleep to be woken up by a cranky Bugz off and on during the night. In between the entire sleep deprived, brain-snooze night I suddenly have a moment of clarity ‘Oh! that is why he wanted to spend some time with me.’ Which was followed by what else but trying to get some sleep, which meant I forgot all about that one moment of clarity. Morning was as it is every morning. Buzz words from the other room and the tubelight finally switched on.
There is no excuse, none what to so ever. I have become a total tubelight where nothing registers anymore and I can’t remember anything past 5 minutes. So today I will try to make up for it by making some good food. Hope I remember to get all the ingredients when I am out grocery shopping. But in the meantime I need get a handle on this memory thing. 8 hours of sleep a day would help big time but past experience tells me it is not happening any time soon.
Tell me people what all do you do when you realize your memory fails you? I need help.
Memory is failing you say? You have become a tubelight you say?
But..I was born a tubelight! What about people like me?! If some wise commenter gives you a solution here, I shall be the first to try it 😀
I haven’t helped you one bit here, have I?
Let me try – write it down quickly someplace maybe. Has helped me at times ( as long as I don’t forget to see that note later. Heh)
Most times I am so sleepy AHK that I can’t find anything to write on. 😐
Oh dear you have a new born and Buzz to manage, so its OK to be absentminded and forgetful. Remember this is a stage and you will come out of this soon..Big Bugs to you..
I am praying for the same LF. Thanks for the hugs 🙂
I had 100 tips to offer….but, but….I just can’t remember any of them now 😥 😥
With a little baby around I guess it happens with every mum…
Take care 🙂
LOL. True that CB 🙂
Mommy of 2 is excused from forgetting everything. But ahem! Is it your Bday/Anniv? 🙂
Not my b’day nor anniv 🙂
Don’t worry when it comes to being a tubelight, I top the list… So its ok, after all you are not alone…
Phew! glad about that 😀
Errr…one tubelight cant tell another tubelight about not being a tubelight 😉
lol
🙂 Hugs! Happens with most of us!
Thanks for the hugs Swaram 🙂
Welcome to the club Comfy. 😀 We are getting old what else ? 😉 😀
I know! that too 😥 😛
You got to meet me and you will be happier for I am worst. I go to get something and forget what i came for ..

It is hard with two kids and almost no sleep. But I hope it will get better. 🙂
Awww how sweet… as far as memory goes, ‘failing memory’ is directly proportional to motherhood!! I put something in the microwave and a minute later it has boiled over, and I have no clue what I had put in there!!!
Oh I love your logic. I am going to quote the same from now on 😀
WHATTTTTTT ??? we have a new born bugzy ???? comfy i am soo sorry i missed thsi wonderful occasion. God bless our new lil baby with lots of good health and cheer. May this wonderful family always always stay happy and with big smiles on their face.
How is my Buzz babe doing with her new born ??
And oh i forgot what was your question in the post..talk about memory 🙂
Hey there is nothing to be sorry about. You have your own sweet little darling to care about to remember anything else. 🙂
Thanks for all the wishes 🙂
