Pregnancy brain moment

Don't feel to bad, my parents left my oldest sister (there first child) on a pinball machine at a convenient store and 7 years later my other sister was born in the parking lot of that store lol.

@elphie754 You have brought a smile to dial today. Love the experiences of all sharing so much, at least you know you aren't alone and it may be the beginning of a general down hill slide into spouting nonsense.

Good point to know that your actions will now become stories that evolve into family legends and will provide hilarity for many generations.

My 1st Mum moment was a doozy. Baby #1, first outing....Lordy I had to pack so much stuff that it looked like I was going away for a week. Last minute check: Nappies, spare clothes, bottles, more spare nappies etc (you get the picture)....

Proudly drove away after carefully locking the house. 2 blocks away had a niggling thought I had forgotten something.....

You guessed it I left the kid at home

@Rebecca0224 Thank you

I did finally get over the guilt and now it is a story along with other such gems as:

Drove into town with a kids boogie board (little surf board thingy) stuck by the ankle strap into the boot. Bright fluoro green board and I didn't even see it....must have looked like a dodgey cape.

Getting home from shopping forgot 1 bag (and of course it was the bag full of expensive stuff) that was at the back of the car right in line with the tyres. Got back in to said car, reversed over bag, thought OMG I have run over the cat!! then proceeded to put car in 1st and re-drive over 'veggie' 'cat' bag.....

My brain has gone to mush...I admit it. Next step for me is attaching a hankie to my top, also sticking a name tag and return address to me. You know, just in case

I will add my menopausal moment which are very similar to pregnancy moments...

Looking desperately for your cell phone, when you are talking on it!

My son literally couldn't get ahold of himself. I'm like "son I can't find my cell phone, I just had it in my hands".

He never lets me live that one down.

Lol. Something similar happened with my father. He was visiting and "lost" the tv remote. We took the entire couch apart, searched under all the furniture, etc. That's when my SO noticed my dad had something in his hand... he had been holding the remote the entire time.

I couldn't find my glasses one day, just to realize that I wouldn't have been able to look for them as well as I was without them being on my face.

I also woke up one morning, having fallen asleep with my contact lenses in, thinking that I had somehow miraculously regained my full vision.

All I can say re: forgetting things in the car- never, ever leave the bag with raw chicken in there in the summer.
3 days and the smell was horrendous.

We still laugh over the lost chicken but, ewww, niffy indeed.

Cheers, h.

I was so excited! And then heartbroken.

It was better than the morning I had awoken after sleeping funny and was convinced I had a stroke in the middle of the night because I couldn't move my left arm.

Try having bipolar, PTSD all the anxieties brain! The other week, when I was at, what I call, peak mental, I found the salt grinder in the fridge. I never remember the right word or the right name. Language, or the English language, is one of my big passions and yet, three years post breakdown, I struggle with my native tongue (and speak on other so am totally screwed!).

I've even been know to look at someone I have known my entire life square in the face and completely and utterly forget their name.

Ah brains, curious things.

Well I had another pregnancy brain moment, but not the forgetful kind. I went to make grilled cheese today, just to end up dumping it into the sink by accident. I starting crying immediately, while my SO starting laughing. Thankfully he remade the grilled cheese, but for some reason, this devestated me. Now I realize how ridiculous I was.

Oh dear-had another one tonight that my SOs can't stop laughing at me. Getting ready for bed so I get dressed in what was supposed to be night clothing after showering. What did I actually put on? My uniform lol

It just keeps getting worse lol. I may need an adult chaperone because I apparently can not adult these past few days.

Was making dinner tonight, which is fairly simple (premade/frozen gluten free Mac and cheese). It pretty idiot proof because you just put it in the oven for 45 minutes. So I take it out, turn on oven and go to sit down while it's preheating. After I hear the ding that it makes when the oven is ready, I set the timer and resume watching TV.

You can likely already guess that something didn't go right, and I agree, apparently I missed a step. The most important step of all-never put the food on the oven and didn't even realize until the timer went off. Whoops!
