Embarrassed

I'm a little embarrassed to admit this, but I completely forgot about my blog yesterday. Straight up forgot about it, about writing a post, everything. It wasn't a case of being too busy (which is often the case when I don't get a post up), and it certainly wasn't for lack of things to talk about. I just plain forgot. Completely and totally. I've heard rumors of pregnancy brain, and I'm pretty sure I feel victim to that. Because forgetting about my blog wasn't even the least of my issues yesterday.

For starters, I forgot to put on my watch as I was getting ready in the morning. I'm honestly not sure how this happened--I swear I remember picking it up and undoing the clasp--but nonetheless I was in my car halfway to work and realized that my wrist felt uncharacteristically naked. Now, if it had been my earrings that I had forgotten, I probably would have turned back to the house to get some because I have this weird phobia of not wearing earrings and having the holes from my piercings visible (seriously. I've made Darrell go back to the house on more than one occasion to remedy this), but I figured I could live a day without my watch.

Of course, upon getting to work I realized that I had also forgotten to open the curtains in our living room. Most days in the winter this isn't a big deal because it's cold and overcast, but yesterday was actually nice (relatively speaking) and sunny. And open curtains means natural light warming the house which means lower heating bills. Plus we have two plants (that I've managed not to kill in well over two months!) that sit near those windows, and I'm regularly concerned that they don't get enough sunlight (especially since one is a tropical plant). And it's not really like opening the curtains after work would have done much good, not with as early as the sun sets (plus they are in an easterly facing window anyway and get the best light in the mornings).

As if my day wasn't starting awesomely enough, I got to my classroom only to discover I didn't have my keys. At all. I always keep them in the same place, and they were no where to be found. Thankfully, they turned up at the house yesterday evening (still not sure how they fell out of my bag though), but I had to borrow keys from the office throughout the day to make sure I could get into the rooms that I needed. Definitely made me feel silly and irresponsible.

So after all that drama (and all before 7:30!), I decided that the day couldn't get much worse. And it really didn't--at least not until I realized that I had completely forgotten about my blog. Not like I'm being held accountable for posting regularly or anything, but I still felt bad. Hopefully this "pregnancy brain" thing doesn't rear its head again anytime soon, and with any luck, its counterpart--"mommy brain"--won't plague me either. Fingers crossed!
