Would you all like to know the real reason as to why I haven't been blogging lately??? (Well, one of the reasons.) Memory...or lack of it. I think of a really cute post or something funny to write and then I forget. By the time I make it to my computer, the thoughts are gone.
As an example, I was just writing a post for another day. In the middle of writing it, another post came to mind and now it's GONE!!!! Why didn't I write it down??? I cannot remember what I wanted to write about next (hence, prompting this post)
One night, I wrote the cutest poem (well, at least I thought it was cute) about my little A. and the joys of having a toddler who only wants mommy. I was way to tired to get up and write it down at that moment, and now I am sorry about that. I went over it several times in my head so that in the morning I could remember it and guess what...GONE!
It is so stinkin' fustrating to have these great thoughts and the next instant they are gone. That is part of the Fibro Fog. I have learned to live with it and some days are better than others, but it makes me feel like I am becoming senile. It is an aspect of FM that not a lot of people understand. I can be looking at a table and say "ok, it is square, has legs and chairs" but cannot remember the word "table."
So friends, please bare with me, I am not going crazy or weird, it's just my memory!
Senile:
adj.
- Of, relating to, or characteristic of old age.
- Relating to or exhibiting memory loss or mental impairment associated with aging.
- Geology. Worn away nearly to the base level, as at the end of an erosion cycle.

I hate my re-memory too. I feel like my kiddos are sucking little pieces of my brain out a little at a time. Forgetting the words is the worst!
