I think I'm aging too fast!
I don't know what's going on with me lately, I seem to be so forgetful! Just things like I can remember having a conversation, but I can't remember who with. Or I'll know I have to do something on my way home from work, and I think about it all day, and even set a reminder on my cell phone, and then get home and realize I forgot all about it! On Saturday I realized there was a rip in my last pair of contacts. I have been putting off getting an eye exam since December (because I need to find a new eye doctor here in the city). So I got out the phone book and called a place right away and made an appointment. I wrote down everything, the date, the time, even what it would cost me. Okay well I forgot to write down one thing - where I'm going! And for the life of me I can't remember which number I called. Now I don't want to feel stupid and call every optometrist in the city, so HOPEFULLY they will call me back to confirm my appointment!
I hope this absent-mindedness is only temporary

You've had so much going on in your life recently, I wonder if the stress of it all is getting to you a little bit.

Yep, when we get too many things going on at once - it is easy to do all those things you describe. We have only so much storage in our short term memory and when the drawers get full, things like this happen. I think with less stress and less things happening, it will get better. However, it is true that as we get older our short term memory gets worse. Some people, like me, never had a very good short term memory, so I am really in trouble now in my 50's.

I was like that when I was your age. When I had my DD everything seemed to change. I was remembering things that even my husband couldn't remember. Like the others said stress could have a lot to do with it too. You need to take a weekend and just relax.
