I think I'm loosing my marbles, in fact I can see them rolling down the hill as we speak. My Doctor says it may be the beginning of the Peri Menopause.........."The Peri what a Pause" I said................"There's a bit before the change I'm afraid and it can go on for years." she replied. I cant believe it, I really cant. I can just about cope with the hot sweats and slight irritability...................Actually..............To be fair.................Slight is an understatement.
Its the dippyness that I worry about, just in the last month I have done some crazy stuff that is very out of character for me....
1. Looked for my glasses for over 2 hours only to find them perched on top of my head............... And I think I actually wore them to look in a drawer for them.
2. Lost the phone only to notice the butter was on the hook and the phone was in the fridge.............To be fair, that could of been because I didn't have my glasses on.
3. Thought my car had been stolen only to remember I had driven up the road and walked back by mistake. I was seconds away from calling the Police..........Oh what a field day they would of had.
4. Gave HRH the door keys as she was popping out and I was getting in the shower, then realised that I had let her lock "me in" the house with no form of escape other than the window. She then "popped" out a bit longer than had been promised and I had to sign for a parcel through the letterbox. I still cant look the Parcel Force man in the eye.
5. Went to the fridge to look at 2 cream scones (just to look at as I'm on a diet) and then went back an hour later only to find they had gone from the box. Actually convinced myself that I had eaten them with no recollection only to discover HRH had eaten them and in true Teen style put the empty box back in the fridge.
You see.....................Its all very strange or as my Doctor said "Very normal for a woman of my age"......MY AGE......I'm only 43 for heavens sake.
Apparently its a good sign that I can remember songs from long ago, although sometimes I think its the artists get the words wrong and not me...........................................
Anyway..................What was I saying..................Nope.....................Its gone...............Sorry.
If my blog has made you smile, chuckle, laugh out loud or dare I say it as someone once said "made me laugh so much I had to whizz to the loo" then please, please, please.......Pretty please.....Slightly begging please.............Verging on desperate please........................Think about voting for me in the rather fabulous Brit Mums Blogging Awards known as the BIBS............................I am super excited to of made it to the semi finals and need every bit of help I can as I am up against some of the finest blogs around. Just click HERE and it will take you straight to the page you need....You will find me in the Laugh Category which is number 13 (unlucky for some but hopefully not me)........................Thanks so much.......................Love You xxxx

ReplyDeleteI'm not too sure............xx
Deletehehe! I'm 33 and ridiculously forgetful!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping there will be a silver lining to all this....Maybe I will forget im on a diet xx
DeleteI forget things all the time - I just get distracted!
ReplyDeleteI think I do too.....Too many tabs open in my brain xx
DeleteFrom one peri-menopausal woman to another lol.... you're not the only one!!! It's lack of sleep and anxiety here I think, my memory is atrocious!
ReplyDeleteHooray.....Theres more of me.......Isnt it just peachy...Even the word Peri Menopause sounds crackers xx
DeleteOh my god, this made me laugh out loud!! Especially the glasses bit...so funny! Hope it all calms down! My memory is absolutely useless..it just doesn't work any more either!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading my darling, xxxxx
DeleteAs soon as I fell pregnant with my first, my brain went to mush! I couldn't finish sentences some days!
ReplyDeleteI remember those days very well.....Or do I......Im not sure now xx
DeleteI do stuff like this a lot. I was 2 hours in the supermarket only to realise that I have left the car unlocked and the keys on the roof. Another time, I left the car door wide open when I went shopping.... Baby brain? :) x
ReplyDeleteWe've all been there hunny xxx
DeleteI do stuff like this all the time, this post did make me laugh thanks x
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading Wendy xx
DeleteYou have had me in stitches reading this its such a great post I thought I was the only one who had moments like this .
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading xx
DeleteLol I do silly stuff every other day and only 31 .x
ReplyDeleteMakes the day go quicker I suppose lol xx
DeleteThe glasses story I am witnessing very often in my own house, OH does it every few days... he never learns to check the top of his head first
ReplyDeleteI need a glasses chain xxx
DeleteOh you are not alone with these shenanigans. I have actually found my phone in the fridge before, right next to the cheese. I didn't even know I'd lost it!! I don't think it's the peri meni whatisitsface, I think it's the inevitable result of having kids...the brain is never the same!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not alone xx
DeleteOh no! I don't want that all to happen to me, I already regularly put my wallet in the fridge!
ReplyDeleteIf it does you know where to come xx
DeleteSorry but the signing through the letterbox made me giggle!
ReplyDeleteI do a lot of daft stuff....i'm still trying to blame it on baby brain....
I can't look him in the face anymore xxx
DeleteSounds like a normal week in this house! I prescribe red wine, cucumber slices on the eyes and early nights (if only!!!)
ReplyDeleteNow....I like the sound of that xx
DeleteAbsolutely love this! My husband is exactly the same, as I try my best to hide my humour of his antics.
ReplyDeleteI think my hubby is going through it too but he wont admit it xx
DeleteI like the bit about the Parcel Force Man. You can just carry on signing things through the mailbox and then never have to look him in the eye :-D
ReplyDeleteI think that might have to be the way forward xxx
DeletePMSL!!! Again a post that made me chuckle! I can relate! *blush*
ReplyDeleteBless you Lucie xxx
DeleteOh Sh*t you're only a year older then me, say this isn't so......
ReplyDeleteLove that you got locked in ;)

DeleteI found my glasses in the fridge a couple of weeks ago...nuff said!
ReplyDeleteOh dear Stella xxx
DeleteI'm 37 and my memory has been really bad all my life. My mum used to get really annoyed at me saying I'd forgotten stuff all the time and I'm sure she didn't believe me most of the time!

Its an epidemic xxx
DeleteThey call it WHAT?! Oh heck. Why don't they just call it Funny Woman with Priorities in the right place? You sound like me. Honestly. But actually, i don't think i had quite so many funny crazy things happen in one week. Butter on the hook?!! Stitches you had me in.....(PS Voted for you me dear!) Sx
ReplyDeleteI know right......Peri Menopause.....Who came up with that bloody name. xxx
