That’s how I feel. I have this pair of American Eagle carpenter jeans. I wanted to wear them today, because I like them. However, when I went to find them to put them on, they were nowhere to be found. This is where it gets crazy. I wore them on Monday (or was it Wednesday?), but not since, at least I don’t remember wearing them. The other crazy thing is that my apartment isn’t very big. I have a grand total of 4 rooms, and under 600 sq ft. I have no idea what happened to my pants. I wish I could find them. They are really comfy. Any ideas on where my pants are? I highly doubt alien invaders, but you never know. Or, it could be evil Nazi groundhogs, I suppose, but aren’t they supposed to be hibernating or something? ---

Now I really feel crazy. I just found them all wrapped up in one of my blankets. Now who would do something like that? I’m a :wally ---

I’ve heard a term for things like you describe (I’m not making this up), and its called JOTT “Just One of Those Things”, or being “Jotted”. I guess that’s different from jotting something down. ---

So every time I try to fully breastfeed, or my son starts needing more milk, I get _horrible_ cramps and bleed for 3 to 5 days. This is now the THIRD time with the cramps/bleeding cycle since the lochia stopped. And my son is only 8 weeks old! Is there something wrong? It is very clearly related to trying to breast feed fully (as opposed to supplement, which we have been doing), and/or my son cluster nursing. Will this happen every time he goes through a growth spurt? Could I have placenta fragments? A hormone imbalance? It’s way painful- like contractions more than cramps. My uterus is already back to normal size, so I know it isn’t still trying to shrink. It’s so bad I am considering continuing to supplement instead of nurse entirely. It’s part of why I gave up in the first place and supplemented (in addition to medical problems my son had that required formula). I’m supposed to see the Dr. the first week of February- should I call earlier based on this? Sorry if this is TMI, but I’ve been googling and googling, and getting nowhere. Very sad. ---
