Pregnancy Sunglasses

What do you think - does she look like me?

Earlier this week I volunteered at Sage’s school for a half hour to do “centers”. As I was walking into the office to check-in I recalled placing my sunglasses into my purse. When I walked into Sage’s class room I set my purse on a nearby counter while I hung out with the kids. We sorted numbers and letters, colored apples, chit chatted, and I got a few extra cuddles from Sage. All in all a good time.

As I was leaving school I went to pull out my sunglasses from my purse – my purse has a zippered part and a quick grab pocket in the front. I always put my keys, sunglasses and phone in the quick grab pocket – Keys were there, cell phone was there, NO sunglasses.  DRAT they must’ve dropped out on the counter when I put my purse down. I have back up pairs in my car and needed to get back to work so I left.

When I got back to work I e-mailed Sage’s teacher and asked her to keep an eye out for my sunglasses. She agreed.

Much of the week I have been missing my sunglasses, small annoyance, but still missed them. I was thinking about this as I was getting ready to exit my car and head into work.  I unzipped my purse to retrive some lip balm – TA DA – yes I heard an actual ta da sound in my head followed by laughter. Laughter for I saw, right on top of my purse just under the zipper, my ‘missing’ sunglasses.

I sighed, shook my head, and laughed at myself. This pregnancy brain is rediculously forgetful! I feel short circuted – if it’s something that is part of my normal everyday routine – no problemo. Something new or out of routine I stand a 0% chance of being able to remember, process, or stay focused on it.
