I have memory problems. Not as bad as some but enough to annoy those around me. Tonight is one of those nights. I am on day 2 of the Miserable Monthly. It is the most uncomfortable day of the month for me. Cramping, headache, emotional, tired, irritable AND I’m still sick. Double MM. Do you see trouble coming? I didn’t.
We are working on an order and it is almost done. Just four more designs to do. That’s it. The end is in sight. My tummy was cramping so bad I was miserable. A bad one would hit and I was off to the bathroom. Miserable. I apologized for my numerous trips and he turned around a yelled at me.
“Enough! You have apologized 7 times now. I understand. Now leave it alone!”
Tears filled my eyes immediately. I had no idea I had said the same thing so many times. I understand why he was frustrated. I can’t help it. He knows that. It is just hard for him to deal with at times. As soon as he realized what happened he apologized and held me while I cried.
One bubble bath and lots of cuddles latter all is forgiven.
(That memory glitch is a part of every day life. I have lost friends over it and gotten into arguments with my family. Sometimes it isn’t a big deal. Other times it is scary. The glitch is a part of my life. That is why it has a spot in my blog.)

Awww. I know EXACTLY how you feel. My monthly is terrible too. But the forgetfullness, that is ALL the time. I tend to say I'm sorry a lot too. My husband always says 'you don't need to be sorry' or 'nothing to be sorry about' or 'not your fault' and if I keep saying, I eventually get the 'Enough'. It's all of us. I hate to tell you this kiddo...YOU ARE NORMAL!!! Go you!
ReplyDeleteI am simply thankful that my husband is patient with me most of the time. When he realizes I have forgotten something he lets it pass. Most of the time I don’t even know. If I am agitated, panicked or a little disoriented he knows that my wonderful memory has hit the delete button again. He has made these connections for years. I don’t know what I would do without him.
