Forgetful words

A symptom that seems to be popping up more then ever is my forgetfulness.  I feel like I cant remember the simplest of things.  I am burning food which I have not done since I have "Learned" how to cook.  Six years ago my specialty was hamburger helper or pork chops in a can! (This is a joke that my boss used to tease me about because everything I ever cook was from a can)  I forget about things in the oven which is a little scary unless I set a timer.  I am diligent about setting the timer now whenever anything goes in the oven, even cookies!
Last night I got so frustrated at myself.  My husband and I have a night time ritual with the kiddo's.  We give them their gummie-vites, we all brush our teeth together (Yes all 4 of us in a single sink bathroom, it is very entertaining), we read a book and then finish the evening with 2 prayers.  Last night I had Makayla on my lap and she unfolded her hands in the middle of the prayers.  I said, "Makayla cccc, ppp, sss. . . "  I lost it, I couldn't find the simple word "Fold" anywhere in my brain.  Reuben looked at me like he wasn't sure what I was trying to say.  I motioned to him how my hands were folded and said, "What is this called?"  He replied, "Fold?"  YES!  There it is, that simple word I was trying to say.  It is amazing to me how slow the connection has become for my brain to formulate words, thoughts, sentences lately.
I have a few questions to ask my neurologist the next time I see him so I will have to get more information on how I can work on this so I can either fix it or prevent it from getting worse.
