Mummy's Brain

Lately, I found out I always misplaced my belonging like keys, wallets,watches, and other trivial stuff. And to make matter worse, I could not recall where I placed those things. I also forget things easily. Just last week before going out, I asked Jasmine to take shower but I was supposedly instruct her to wear her shoes. Last month,I forgot to bring my girl's disposable diapers for few days in a row!

For my surprised, I could not recall things as I usually could. Usually my husband would ask my assistance in recalling things that he forgotten, and he always take advantage on me as his 'memory box'. For example, he always 'used' me to recall things especially people names whenever we bump into during function i.e wedding reception, movies, mall and even at pasar malam or pasar tani. I am far more organised than him. Sometimes I could help him to recall and lead back his mind to where he put the keys, handphones,wallets. And I am so proud of being able to recall on almost anythings! Sometimes I made fun of him for unable in recalling things(only small stuff, important things like Jasmine's appointment and his work stuff he always remember). But now, he cannot count on me anymore! What a relief!

No! Actually it's sad for gradually loosing this bit of GOD's gift to me. Not many people could recall things effectively. Some may only recognise people faces but forgot the names, but I could recall both.

To my relief, I found out that these happen to all the mothers like myself. It's about motherhood. So, all mums out there, please bare with these symptoms as this is only temporary. Expert says the life of a new mother. Some experience it right after giving birth, but some like me, experience it a bit later. And expert also says this happens when mum is too handful with managing household, child, and the career at one time. Maybe it's true. And I really hope this forgetfulness might vanish for once!
