Memories...are they coming back or am I making them up???!!

[Sweetness91]

So here I am on day 30...and I find myself wondering if some memories I'm having are really real or if I'm making them up? Or letting my kids make them up for me...lol. My son was talking about a Super Bowl Sunday a few years back...and said something that my husband disagrees with, or doesn't remember I should say. Anyway, I didn't want to say anything at the time because I didn't even know if what I was remembering was real...but I almost wanna say I DO remember what my son is talking about. It's a minor thing really...we had went to watch the game at a relatives and the kids went to sleep on their couch. And we played cards after the game and  we didn't get home til 4 am. I swear I remember that...but my husband doesn't so I have to wonder if I'm crazy or if its actually coming back to me now...the memories. Has anyone else had something like this happen or am I really freaking NUTS???!!!

Lmao guys!! I sometimes think I'm having "flashbacks" or something...seriously. But it's irritating because its not the whole picture or story and I'm left trying to fill the void with what I THINK happened? Does that make sense? And I have noticed that I forget things that are more of a short term memory thing more than I forget things that happened 20 years ago...but I'd say that's because I was on methadone for 8 years...(notice...I said I WAS on methadone...not I AM on...damn that's awesome to say)...this whole experience is just strange for me I guess. I'm curious to see what's gonna come back to me next!  

And you don't even wanna get me started on the ice cream...geez I really wish I had some fudge brownie swirl right now!! Mmmmm.

I so feel like I'm nuts sometimes! Lol. I was always able to say I had a good memory...and still do on some things. Hell...I'm getting ready to turn 40 this summer and I remember my phone number from when I was 8 years old...actually i think i remember every phone number we had growing up...even into my teens...funny huh! But yet I can't remember something that happened two years ago! That IS nuts! Lol.
