I will give him that he had already gone into his crate, but had come out when I went upstairs to get gift wrapping stuff. I'll let it pass that maybe I confused him. He's usually pretty good about his crate. He can tell where I'm at in my morning routine and will go in there on his own. He also goes in when he sees us sitting down at the table for dinner.
@sammierose464 my dogs also know when it's time to go behind the "gated area". They recognize when we are walking out the garage door to leave and will run over there, especially if you say "ok puppies!". I've been giving them goodbye treats so that probably helps
I'm afraid my 15 month puppy is getting used to not going in her crate. We removed it for our condo showings these last two weeks and now I'm worried she won't go back to it when we put it back. She is also getting use to sleeping with us. Which will stop next week due to my surgery!

My dog is good about going between sleeping with me and not. He gets to sleep in bed when DH isn't in it, so he usually knows that. He sometimes will sleep on the floor next to me or on the couch. The pain has decided that my comforter (that I've thrown in a pile on the floor while it's hot) is better than his bed, so I need to move that because he's a tripping hazard at night.
I drove on the shoulder of the freeway for a really long period of time the other day. I couldn't tell because the sun was in my eyes, but after I realized where I was...i wondered how I made it that far.
@rc-cola I’m sorry that really sucks!! Worst thing I’ve I’ve thrown away was $1,200 in cash. I wasn’t even pregnant. That was the one time I was so glad the trash didn’t get taken out when it should have! Never told my man about that..
My mom lost a gold ring down the bathtub drain and didn’t tell my Dad. However, several years later, my Dad was doing some sort of maintenance, and found the ring. Mom had to fess up.
Today I stopped at WaWa for lunch. I parked my car, went inside, peed (of course), grabbed some food, checked out and went back outside. When I got outside, I panicked because my car was not parked in front of the store. For whatever reason I parked in front of the gas pump, even though I didn’t need gas.
I ruined Father’s Day!! I bought tickets for this supposedly amazing race that started at 4pm. Well guess what? We get there and everyone is leaving. Curtis double checked the website and here it ended at 4! I cried. He was disappointed but really cool about it. I’ll never live it down though! At least he saw my stomach move for the first time today..I’m calling that his present.
@jynjer91 both your losing money post and your Father’s Day post get sympathy from me. Not the same, but today I accidentally ruined one of the bachelorette surprises (a show we got tickets for) for our bride. The worst part is I almost did it earlier but covered it up, but then like an hour later said it again by mistake. Oops.
Today I got into someone else’s (empty) car at the commuter lot after work. To be fair, it looked like mine and it was unlocked. I was almost in the drivers seat before I realized it wasn’t the toddler-ruined hellscape that it my actual car. At least the owner wasn’t there to see it?
... I realized it wasn’t the toddler-ruined hellscape that it my actual car...
Occasionally, I wonder at the wisdom of me being part of this forum. I would like to continue in ignorant bliss for a few more months, please.
Please?
Oh, y’alll, really? I said please!
My car is actually pretty clean. I was too paranoid about the kids choking while I was driving to let them have food in their car seats, especially rear facing, and now they are used to the no eating in the car rule. I really think it’s helped cut down on the toddler-messy car situation. Toys etc. are pretty easy to scoop out of the car when they start piling up, especially with no crumbs everywhere.
Yeah don’t worry @knottieamusements, my husband’s car is in fine shape. 99% of the issue is that our mornings are crunched and I let dd eat breakfast in the car regularly on the way to daycare. Not great, and is most of the mess.
Almost washed my face with razor burn gel.. to be fair they're in similar shapes bottles and blue. I went to squeeze some in my hand and thought it looked funny, checked the bottle and rinsed it off my hand asap.
Reviving this thread. Today was my friend’s daughter’s birthday party. We got all the kids ready. Got a gift and wrapped it. Packed swimsuits and towels for the spray park. Got to the hall on time for 2pm. Party was apparently at 11:00.
I inserted my debit card into the chip reader not once, not twice, but thrice when I was buying lunch. I couldn't understand why there was a error. The cashier had to remove my card and do it for me.
There is an end table next to my futon. It even has a mannequin torso on it, so it is really obvious. Or should be really obvious.
I have since also realized that all of my first aid supplies were buried in a box at the bottom of the back of pile of stuff I have yet to put away from my remodel.
The cut on my knee is now cleaned with a fresh bandaid. Blast probably didn’t learn any new words in utero though, because my go-to in situations like that, amusingly enough is still “ow! Ow! Ow! ow! Ow!”
I put a pot on the stove to boil water and got distracted. It didn’t have enough water to boil over but, it was putting off enough steam it apparently caused the fan on the underside of the microwave (mounted above the stove) to turn on on its own which causes my dogs to bark and make me realize what was going on. Didn’t know this was possible. Kind of impressed with my microwave.
I dunno if this is baby brain from this baby or the last one. I have gone through all of the baby stuff in my house and cleaned and organied my entire upstairs and I’m missing my baby bathtub, towels, bibs, my favorite onesie from DS and a pair of baby Jordan’s my SIL bought DS. I think I lent the bibs and towels to a friend of DH and she didn’t return them when she gave everything else back (probably because she’s still using them), but the other stuff I have no clue! Ahhhh.
I was playing board games with my husband and his friend (who I don’t particularly enjoy) last night and I won. His friend made a “joke” that my score keeping couldn’t be trusted because “baby brain” and I lost my sh!t at him. We get to say it, but no one else does!!
@cdepperschmidt My boys wore size 3T for a year. I found bins with all the clothes they’ve outgrown except the one with the majority of their 3T clothes. Either these boys hardly had any clothes for a year (I’m talking like maybe 5 shirts total for both of them) or the aliens abducted their clothes because they aren’t in my basement!
@purplegoldfish2 It’s making me crazy! I did mention something to DH and he was like oh it’s in my car. Well, got the shoes and DH said he said something about bibs. But still that tub and towels I have no clue!
We received an invitation about a month ago to our good friends wedding in August. I immediately filled out the RSVP and put it in the mail, or so I thought. I went to look for the hotel information yesterday and wrapped up inside the invite was our RSVP card, all wrapped up and ready to go. DH is in the wedding so they obviously know we are coming, but I know how frustrating it is to not get those back. I put it in my purse to drop off in the mail yesterday and realized it’s still in my purse...whoops!
I'm not sure if this is baby brain, or just plain old pregnancy clumsiness, but in the last 3 days I've hit my head inordinate amount of times. It's like I've forgotten the lay out of my house and/or my height.
@sammierose464 I noticed at my desk I lean up against it and kid will start kicking/moving at that spot up that's touching my desk. Must be crowding her!
I lost my keys for an entire day. This is NOT like me. I always know where my keys are. I took out the dog in the rain and forgot I had my keys in my rain jacket! Didn't think to look in there because who wears jackets in July!

Omg you guys, my sister just texted me about hair and makeup for her wedding and I realized I forgot to order the food for her shower AND forgot to make an appointment to get my dress altered. It’s not like I forgot about the wedding or how close it is or that I’m in it - I just forgot about the things I actually have to do for it.

Also I totally legitimately won.
