Dumb as sh*t

I'm about as dumb as a box of rocks these days... I can't even hold on to a thought long enough to say it or write it down. I have ADD like a mother as well, but it has just recently progressed in to full fledge stupid these days. I have to concentrate SO hard just to follow a conversation with people these days. I've never bought in to pregnancy brain, but WTH?! Pleeeeease tell me I'm not alone...

    You are not alone sister! I can not believe how stupid I have become. Twice I have messed up on my bank deposits, I tried to order a McGriddle at Burger King, I miss my exits all the time when I'm driving places, the list could go on.

    I seriously worry about making plans these days because I am so afraid I will forget about them! One of my friends says it never returns...I hope she's lying because I have never used my hair as an excuse so much!

    I keep saying things like, "Honey, can you get me that cup on the... the... uhh... *long pause*, oh, the counter?"  DH thinks I've lost my mind.

    I am right there with you!  My coworkers call me out on baby brain all the time...it's frustrating.  I never had a great short term memory but now it just doesn't exist at all!  I wonder why...

    I'm there too. I pass exits on the highway all the time then even pass the exit to TURN ARROUND to get back to the first exit I passed. Two days ago, I couldn't figure out how to find the up ramp in the hospital parking garage and I just went round in circles. Hubby has recommended I no longer operate heavy machenery unsupervised.  I can't blame him. I used to be a very intelligent woman. Now I'm a drooling idiot. Go figure.

    I feel your pain, I'm having the same problems.  People at work just laugh at me and tell me not to strain to hard.  DH and DD laugh at me at home as well.  I'm just hoping it doesn't take long to get my intelligence back after the baby or the poor baby might be in trouble!

    I refuse to believe pregnancy brain is real, but I definitely feel you on the whole dumb as a box of rocks thing.

    Yesterday when I was driving to work....the same job I've had for 3 years....I went the wrong way.  THE WRONG WAY!! I have no idea where my head was at.  Just off in la la land.
