Hi Jenny…

I’m not pregnant, but lately I’ve been feeling the same way. The other morning, as I was leaving my apartment, I went to the door and discovered that I had forgotten to lock it the night before… it was unlocked all night long.

And then two days later, I came home around 10 pm in the dark and discovered I had left it unlocked again! (I went through and checked every crook and cranny, waiting for a creepy man to jump out.)

And then, the other day, I went to spray Febreeze on a pair of jeans, but grabbed the kitchen cleaner instead, and didn’t realize it until my pants were all wet!

At least they’re bacteria-free.

I can just picture your husband informing you about the garage door incident, with the attitude that one could only reasonably expect two out of three gallons of milk to make it safely to the Schroedel fridge. You have a talent for generating comedy with your mishaps. I want to say: keep it coming! We admire your life work.<br/><br/>I was working a temporary clerical sort of job in my third trimester. I was actually decently efficient and got everything done that needed doing, but my baby-brain showed itself whenever my supervisor would ask me whether or not I had done something and I would just go blank. I couldn't remember what task I had accomplished the day before, or even that morning, or even an hour before. Oi! This post is hilarious.

Love this post. Can so relate (even though I have yet to close the garage door on a milk carton). I remember the forgetfulness and clumsiness of pregnancy well.<br/><br/>Also, thanks for your article on the Amish and forgiveness. Brought tears to my eyes.
