Now I KNOW I have PGN Dimentia...you won't believe what I did...

So I get home this afternoon and there is a note hanging on my door. Guess who got their water cut off today because she forgot to pay the bill! I guess with the visit and all, I totally spaced it out..paid the rest of the bills, but obviously not the water bill! So I have to load the two kids I'm keeping in the car and make a trip to the water department. They're 3 and 3 months so you know what a production that is. Of course, they don't accept personal checks from people like me who don't pay their bills on time, so I have to go by the bank for cash on my way. Both kids, of course, fall asleep in the car, but you can't pay at the window if your bill is overdue...great. So I wake them up...they aren't very happy, but good considering...and we pay the bill. So the water will be turned back on by 5:00.

Can you believe I did that??? I felt like such an idiot loser...I mean duuuuhhhhh!!! I think my brain cells are shutting down a section at a time the longer we're in PGN.

I thought only you all would appreciate that story...

LOL

I completely sympathise. It's like your entire brain is taken over and there is just no more room for all the 'usual' stuff anymore!

My Mom calls it CRS syndrome! Can't remember Stuff (Or at least thats the version I can print)

I`m glad you were able to get it all under control, no water!!! wow I couldnt handle that either. I was thinking the same thing though, I just space stuff out now, so I sat down the other day and paid my sewer bill for the full year. Glad your getting your water back on. Tammy

I'm sorry. PGN can do weird things to your brain. Parenthood in general has a way of sucking the brain cells right out of your head! Good luck!

Oh my gosh...what an ordeal (but funny looking BACK on). I'm sure it wasn't too funny toting 2 sleeping babies in. I finally bought myself some Focus Factor the other day to start taking becuse I cannot remember ANYTHING. It is really working well (as well as a brain such as mine can work ha ha).

This is so funny. I've been forgetting things too. 3 months in PGN will do that to a person!

Ruh Roh...be careful, you might get your lights cut off! Funny thing is, when I looked for the water bill I couldn't find it...I guess I must have shredded it with the other bills I actually paid!
