Early On-Set Dementia
I used to feel like Supermom. I work full-time, have a husband that works swing shift and lots of extra hours, handle the complete care of two kids, responsible for all the household tasks and meals, drive a significant number of miles each day to get everyone where they are going, get kids to practices, attend school programs etc, etc, etc and I rarely missed a beat only requiring assistance when I encountered the impossible. But for some reason I have become very forgetful lately. Forgot to send Creighton with a treat on his treat day at school, forgot to pay his school bill on the first of the month and tonight I picked up Colby at the wrong place. Obviously she wasn't there and I quickly drove to where she actually was and wasn't even late. But still, I forgot where my kid was today! I think it is time to slow down, take a deep breath and find a better system to keep track of stuff. Oh wait, it is almost Thanksgiving, we have school programs coming up, Creighton's birthday in a week or so, then Christmas and all the hustle and bustle with that, then Colby's birthday on January 2nd. There is no such thing as slowing down around here. I guess I'll just have to pick myself back up, dust off and keep going. Is it possible to be 34 and have Alzheimers? Thankfully, I haven't forgotten my kids' names yet. That's probably next.....
