Duh!

Another, yet common, side effect of pregnancy? Absentmindedness. I mean really. I've had my share of forgetfulness here and there like losing my train of thought mid conversation. Or forgetting what I was going to do ten minutes later, forgetting conversations that I had. Stuff like that.Well what happened yesterday HAD to be icing on the cake or else I'm in trouble!



I picked Junior up from work last night at 10pm in the med center. As we left, I had to use the restroom... another one of my pee attacks. That stuff can't wait. So anyway, I drive to a Barnes and Noble nearby to use the restroom. Junior switches seats with me so he's driving and waiting in the car. Did my business, all is good. Get in the car and Junior is driving now. So the ride home is maybe a 20 minute drive at that time. More this time because we grabbed dinner. When we get home I'm gathering the bags of food and cannot find my purse! I know I purposly left in the car when I used the restroom. I even said it as I was getting out of the car, "I'm leaving my purse." I'm asking Junior if he moved it to the backseat or what? We're both searching the back seat, I'm searching the floor in the front and under the seat. I CANNOT find my purse for the life of me! I'm kind of panicking at this moment Did it fall out of the car when I got in? How the hell is it missing??? I know I didn't take it with me into Barnes so I couldn't have left it there. Low and behold Junior says, "Honey, you are wearing your purse." Oh.... my.... goodness. I had to look at my arm I didn't believe him! I could NOT stop laughing I was crying so hard! Junior is just shaking his head as he's getting out of the car. I can't move. I'm too stunned at how stupid of me that was. I blame that ALL on pregnancy. I even told Junior that. After my laughter died down a bit, eyes still teary I said, "hey... I'm pregnant!" And he said with a mix of sarcasm and disbelief, "yes you are." HAHAHA!!!! I laughed all the way to the door.



OK so anyway. I was supposed to take a picture of me side profile and post it as I promised some people and am due for one anyway. I didn't forget! When I was ready to take the picture, the abttery to my camera was dead. So I had to charge it. Today I was ready to take that picture. I did, but... oh man. It didn't do much for my self esteem. Let's just say that I was under the illusion that I was pretty cute pregnant. Maybe because my sis in law keeps telling me how great my skin looks. She must have really just been talking ONLY about my skin. My self esteem dropped about 10 points after I took that first shot and maybe another point for each shot after. Maybe I need to primp a little before I do it. I took several pictures of me in some sweats and a cami so you can see the bump. Had my hair up, no makeup. I didn't have a problem with the clothing. I think I need to put some makeup on. hahaha! I was looking rough! I didn't realize I looked that way. Maybe it was bad lighting. I was in a bright room, shadows were forming... hahaha! Whatever. I need to be ready for this pic. My apologies to those who haven't seen me and are anxiously waiting. I plan to do it tomorrow... at least. Maybe I need a mini makeove or pampering to make me feel good. Or maybe, just maybe... I need to accept that fact that being cute and pregnant is not for everyone.
