I can't be the only one doing really stupid things! Tell me make me feel better lol! This morning I made a tea took a sip realized I didn't even boil my water! Yup little colder then expected! The other day I was putting laundry away and couldn't find my cell phone for a while... Seems I put it away with the laundry needed it to ring to find it in my dresser....

I used a cucumber in our salads last night, and the rest of the cucumber was too big for a tupperware that we had available (they all seem to be used right now). I told DH I didn't know how to store it in the fridge... he looked at me like I was crazy and said "Why don't you just wrap it in aluminum foil or saran wrap?"

... Was it that hard to think of an alternative way to store a cucumber?!

Sat down at a restaurant last night and reached into my pocket to grab my phone. When it wasn't there, I realized I must have dropped it in the parking lot when got out of the car, because I thought I heard something fall. I ran out to the car, checked everywhere and couldn't find it. Figured I must have left it at home. Sat back at the table, waiting for my friend to arrive so I could use her phone to call home and confirm it was there. Amazing how your anxiety level rises up 10 notches when you realize you don't have your phone. Anyway, I pick up my menu to find something to do to pass the time and low and behold, there was my phone. I had set it on the table and the waitress had covered it with the menu.

If I don't write down EVERY item I need at the grocery, I have gotten all the way home without the very item I went there for.

I was checking my account to make sure my insurance payment went through and it hadn't. So I call the company asking they haven't taken the payment they always take it on the 8th of each month. And the lady said no, actually it s on every 9th. I started laughing and said sorry pregnancy brain!

I work in healthcare and we make our own patient schedule. For some reason I keep giving patients appt cards that say crazy things like "your appt is at 1:30am" or the wrong date...my coworkers will not be pleased if people start coming in at the wrong times/days as we are booked very tight! Whoops! Guess I need someone to double check me...;)

Umm...this happens to me when I'm not pregnant.

matiekae · December 2014

Showed up to open at work yesterday morning to discover I had left ALL the lights on overnight from closing the night before!

I had a baking accident on Thanksgiving. Thought I'd make homemade frosting, but the butter got stuck to the blade of the immersion blender. The genius that I am thought I'd just scoop the butter off the blade, while I "accidently" pushed the power button. Needless to say, blood gushing everywhere. At least, I didn't lose a finger.

Fell while jogging on the boardwalk.

Tried to pay for my salad with a metrocard instead of credit card.

I can go on here, lol.

MrsDee1982 · December 2014

There are two possible exits to take from this freeway to get to my house. I missed them both the other night on my way home from dinner. Awesome. Also, I could not remember my Goddaughter's name for about an hour yesterday.

lfaithlove · December 2014

Yesterday I wrote out a whole post on Facebook about it being a typical Monday. Like, I went on and on about how Monday's suck, blah blah blah... Luckily I got distracted and never posted it and later realized IT WAS TUESDAY. So glad I didn't post it or I would've gotten so much flack. Haha.

The other day I was craving brownies so hubby brought home salted caramel ones (the mix) from the store. I measured everything out, put it all together and put it in the oven. About 2 hours later, hubby was cleaning up the kitchen and asked "what's this for" while pointing to the measuring cup full of the oil that I measured out but didn't add to the mix. Oops! Between the caramel and no oil, those were the stickiest brownies I have ever had in my life.

Can I also confess I made this same exact mistake the the last time I made brownies....before I was pregnant

Ladymouse · December 2014

Rushing to get to an appointment, left the diaper bag at home. Had to turn around and get it.

TheAlmostMom · December 2014

I forgot how to spell my last name.

My last name is 5 letters long.

8-}

TheAlmostMom · December 2014

stfu. I just had to count. My last name is FOUR letters long.

avazirian · December 2014

I have so many!! The most common one recently was clocking back in from my break and I couldn't remember my employee number! It was 10 minutes ago! I have a lot of pregnancy brain moments walking into my bosses office to ask a question and completely forget what I was going to ask ( thank God my boss is great). Also forgetting residents apt numbers after they told me! I have plenty! Haahaa

blu-eyedwife · December 2014

I've shared some of these:
* Forgot the code to turn off the alarm at work
* Signed my son in at preschool as "October"
* Forgot to sign him on on numerous occasions
* Completely forgot about depositions, hearings, and other important work related events
* Wrote the wrong Judge's name on an order
* Brought the wrong bag with me places
* Forget something at the grocery store on a weekly basis
* Went away for the weekend, left my id and credit card at home. In the refrigerator.
* Was supposed to make ice cream for Thanksgiving, but never put the freezer bowl in the freezer.
* Forgot to bring the crackers to Thanksgiving to go with my cheese plate.

So many, so so many.

Couple of weekends ago I bathed my daughters, put them in pretty cotton sundresses, wrapped a present, and sent them with DH to a birthday party that turned out to not be that day

blastocarrier30 · December 2014

1. I opened this to add something and forgot what it was. It took me 10 minutes to remember.
2. I forgot to wear a jacket when it was barely 40 degrees outside. I realized it when I stopped for gas (brrr.)
3. I forgot to buy food for the dog, went to feed him and ran out to the store.
4. I lost a house key. I know it's somewhere in my house, but that is all I know.

The above and all of your posts make me SO glad that I am not teaching any more. I basically had mild pregnancy brain for 8 months out of the year for 3 years in a row. Now it's just a few things here and there. I can't imagine this plus the billion things I had going on there.

jbartsy · December 2014

My most recent is forgetting the pin number to my debit card the other day while buying groceries. That has never happened to me since owning a bank account.

tiffbot1985 · December 2014

So I opened this this morning, and thought to myself 'I'm actually doing pretty good!' (And probably just not noticing when I do something dumb)

And then proceeded to brush my teeth for a second time in 10 minutes.

finchfeeder80 · December 2014

I've just kind of become a bit of a flaky dingbat in general. And I can't spell/type to save my life these days! I'm usually a walking dictionary.

allicat300 · December 2014

I have had to go to the grocery store.... 5 times in the past two days i have forgotten essential things every time!

HappinessIsJune2015 · December 2014

I have now brewed coffee onto my counter twice with my Keurig because I forgot to put a cup down..

jessila9 · December 2014

I couldn't figure out how to read the numbers on my insurance card when making a doctors appointment. 7 and 2 just looked so much alike!!

tjanca22 · December 2014

Went Christmas shopping and bought some chocolates for a relative. I got home and realized that I forgot to grab the bag after paying for them.

IsadoraB · December 2014

I can't for the life of me remember the date. I also generally have no idea what day of the week it is.

There are people at work that I usually email all the time for certain issues. Now I keep having to ask my coworkers what their names are.

I was leaving work the other day and was trying to turn right at a red light. The truck in front of me in the turn lane wasn't moving. Then the light turned green and he STILL WOULDN'T MOVE. At this point I get pissed and start honking. That was right before I realized I wasn't in a turn lane, I was behind a parked car. This all happened right in front of my office.

sjw91988 · December 2014

Told my coworkers I am only wearing boots and shoes too our company oyster roast...boots and shoes...I will definitely be the talk of the party

cmcards83 · December 2014

Came home from the grocery store and put the apples in the freezer. Luckily I realized it as I turned to walk away.

mfeits87 · December 2014

Forgot what I had been talking about with a friend when I became distracted mid-sentence by someone nearby talking about something more interesting. Then could not for the life of me remember anything what-so-ever about what I had JUST been saying.

wegrowsheep · December 2014

It was super cold a few weeks ago, and I needed to use the car. Door wouldn't open, so I grabbed the tea kettle and carefully poured hot water all over it. It STILL wouldn't open, no matter how hard I pulled! And then, in a moment of sheer brilliance and humility, I tried unlocking the door. Bingo.

HarriCJ · December 2014

I got lost in our parking garage. We have lived in the same apartment & had the exact same parking space for 2 years.

janat1717 · December 2014

I almost set the kitchen on fire twice... Making items like rice.. I think my DH is afraid to leave me alone now since he cooks if he is there.

Cailaurla · December 2014

I have been losing things all over the house. Things I REMEMBER having in the house so there is no possible way they could be anywhere else. So many days spent frantically tearing the house apart. One item still missing for weeks.

Also yesterday while decorating our wreath I called my DH a "Scrinch"- That is scrooge/grinch. Then proceeded to tell him not to "Smunch" the lights on the floor- That is smash/crunch. He looks at me and goes " have you forgotten how to speak??!" hahahaha

toodaloo · December 2014

Let's see...where to begin...to many moments but here are a couple.

My hubby left his jacket in the car. The next day he was looking for it and came in saying that he thinks someone went in the car and stole it. We looked all over and couldn't find it. Slowly I started to realize that I think I brought it in the house. Low and behold, I went to put a load in the washer...and there it was! I stuck it in the washer because it was dirty and totally forgot! DUH!!!

I had a big individual project/presentation at school. I did great on the presentation. Towards the end of the semester, I realized I forgot to turn in my systems development homework. Well, the more I thought about it, the more I began to think that I also forgot to turn in my written portion of the individual project. I was sure I was going to fail. I logged in online to check my grades, and there it was...195/200 points! I did write it! DUH!!!!

So embarrassing
