I don't know what it is, but pregnancy seems to be having an adverse effect on me. I've become a little bit stupid, very clumsy, and also have trouble concentrating. I can't think of normal words while writing or having conversations, I've become accident prone and break or drop things on a regular basis, and do random idiotic things!
The other day while cooking dinner, I put the olive oil in the refrigerator and the milk in the cupboard and didn't notice it until I needed the milk a while later. I also called my Doctor in the US to make an appointment. I made the appointment for Dec. 14th even though I don't even arrive in the country until the 17th! I didn't even notice - I called my Mom to tell her the appt date and she caught it immediately! I'm constantly doing silly things and most of the time I just feel distracted and preoccupied. I only hope this is a temporary affliction and after the baby comes, I start getting back to normal.
The other mother and I went into the school to meet with the teacher and the assistant head. We both let them know how upset we were that we were not informed that our children were sent to the office and how much we were against the children being allowed to play fighting games on the playground. I told them I wouldn't allow it at home and I'm really unhappy that it's being allowed at school. They admitted it was a problem and explained that they are planning to introduce a a scheme to teach the children to play in a safe way. They will be calling it 'Super Hero Training'. They plan to give out capes & masks out to children who behave well as rewards at playtime. They will have assemblies where they will teach the children to play fighting games without making contact. I find this to be absurd. The problem has gone on to long and I doubt they will be able to teach little children to change their games when they have sixty other children to look after on
