Does anyone else become forgetful when they are feeling stressed? I went to Walmart last night and forgot to get half of what I needed. I know I should have made a list, but I forgot to do that too!
My husband drove home and was wondering why I went to Walmart and still didn't get some things he needed last time he was home which was about 2 weeks ago since we went out of town last weekend. I didn't even have a good excuse ready, I just forgot.
So heres my list:
Mouth Wash
Plastic Cups
Water filter for pool
Shock treatment for pool
Shout stain remover
Now if someone can call me in about 10 minutes and remind me that would be helpful cause I'm probably gonna forget that I even need to go back to Walmart again when I leave work! But I did do good last night because I didn't forget to buy a couple bottles of wine! That was at the top of my "mental" list.
Have a good weekend everybody! I'm going to try and de-stress.

I write lists on the backs of whatever is handy....an envelope, a scrap of paper I found, an old lottery ticket.... because I know I will forget what I'm after.
Then I get in the store and forget to look at the list in my pocket!
When I'm stressed I am prone to forgetting alot of things....once I stopped at a green light and "went" when it turned red!
But I like your list! Makes for an interesting insight to your life, you know? Here's mine:
ear plugs
personal fan for work
make-up
hubby's birthday gift
rug cleaner
money order
I know I'm forgetting something.........

I wing it and like you when I'm stressed I'll leave the store without things I meant to get. Sometimes with drastically bad consequences. (i.e. forgot the toilet paper, but remembered to pick up chocolate) -

At least you remembered the wine! Heh, I do that too when I'm stressed. I go completely scatter brained and get mad at myself after a while. I've been horrible with remembering to just PUT things on the list, let alone grabbing it when it's time to go! -

Hey alabama - I can beat that. A few years ago I lived right on our east coast in a holiday town called Skegness. Now I'd lived there for nearly 7 years and knew the place like the back of my hand as I'd been going there for years before hand with my friend as her Granddad lives there. I was off work for a while due to stress and anxiety. I didn't like going out much but I really wanted to go and do some shopping so poor hubby didn't have to do it all after work. I set off in the car to 'Kwik-Save', where we always did our shopping. I'd been there more times than I'd had hot dinners. I turned out of my estate onto the main road. Within 300 yards I turned right as usual. I drove along the road and did the left turn. Oh - this doesn't look familiar. How could I have taken the wrong turn? It was the first left. I turned round and came back up that road and turned left thinking it must be the next one. I turned left again. Shit! Never seen this road in my entire life! Where on earth was Kwik-Save? I drove up and down that road 4 times and was practically in tears, my mouth was dry, my palms were sweatign and slipping on the steering wheel and my heart was racing. I decided to go right to the very end and out at the crossroads to drive home by going right round the block as I became paranoid folk had witnessed all this and thought i was a nutter lol! As I turned left right at the top and looked across the crooked crossroads, it dawned on me!! Oh my god you stupid woman! It's the first left down THAT road ha ha! I finally found Kwik-Save and did my shopping but I still can't believe to this day that I had forgotten where the supermarket was ha ha!! -

Well two days later, l'm just now returning to Walmart to finish my shopping!
wombat - Sometimes I do make list on whatever is handy such as an old receipt, I'll then throw that old receipt away forgetting I wrote my list on the back of it!
hege - I get mad at myself too, It's frustrating to forget, wastes time
pusscat - Maybe we should get a GPS just to help out with those simple tasks!
unique - at least you remembered to chocolate!
lfbno - Thanks! I need bottled water, I will add it to my list!
