Mommy brain moments!

smount2011 · August 2015

Has anyone had "mommy" brain or "baby" brain moments? Thought it would be cute to start one with all the embarrassing stuff we seem to do wrong lol.

This morning I was in the shower and washed my hair, conditioned my hair, then got soap for my body. Problem...about 2 minutes into washing I realized I had put my body wash INTO MY HAIR!!! Duh- mommy brain!

Anyone else?

I was at a party and was helping set up, I opened up a container on Jalepeno Cheese, took the cover off, opened the can, poured it out, and then asked the host if they had plastic wrap to put on it, and she was like or you could use the cover. I was in shock it was sitting right next to me on the counter and had taken it off less than a minute ago.

I washed my face with shampoo a couple weeks ago.

I also hung up with DH mid-conversation, then stared at the phone for a minute wondering why I just did that.

I was driving to a meeting at work but drove to the park with a playground instead. Opps. I also leave stuff out and my dog gets it, most recently was a stick of butter, yuck.

Last weekend I was going over to our rent house. There is a gate that you have to get out to open. I pulled up to the gate and opened the door to get out without putting my car in park. My car obviously rolled into the gate and it left black marks on the bumper of my white tahoe. Luckily I got them off with a mr clean magic eraser before my husband saw. I was likely SERIOUSLY? WTH? Blaming it on pregnancy brain!

Yesterday when I was filling out paperwork at work, I saw an empty field where I was supposed to write the date... I signed it.

When filling out paperwork at the hospital for this pregnancy, they asked me a series of seemingly easy questions. But mommy brain kicked in and I couldn't remember the date of my LMP or the birth weights of either of my 2 kids. Good thing DH was sitting next to me correcting as I go. I felt like such a dunce.

Today I took ds swimming and left the sunroof open. Of course while we were inside there was a torrential downpour and now my whole car is soaked.

I have tried to put tortilla chips, as well as animal crackers, in the refrigerator.

I went grocery shopping at a place where they don't accept credit cards. I tried to use my debit, but couldn't remember my PIN. After trying about a dozen times, I took my cart to customer service, packed up my daughter, and went to my car to look for my check book. Nowhere to be found. I tried my card again. At customer service and it still wouldn't work. I had to call my husband to drive 15 miles to the store to pay for my groceries. (He said "your checkbook? Our daughter kicked it under the fridge yesterday"). We only go there about once a month to stock up, so I had already been there for over an hour. I was nearly in tears by the time he got there. The funny thing was, I had used my debit card earlier that day.

2 days later I used my debit card again. When I reached into my wallet I grabbed a credit card and swiped it, then realized it was the wrong card. It was then that I realized I had been using the wrong card the whole time at the store. Ugh.... I was afraid to tell that part to my husband!

I put my cell phone in the dryer thankfully I heard it before it was damaged. With my first I forgot where I lived I couldn't find the road I called my husband crying he had to drive to where I was parked so I could follow him home. I swear to this day that the road wasn't there. With my second I forgot all of my passwords at work multiple times the IT guys couldn't wait until my pregnancy was over because they had to keep unlocking my system since we weren't allowed to write our passwords down.

smount2011 · August 2015

I have one that happened the day before I found out I was pregnant- at my job interview of all places! The lady was firing questions about tracking attendance for school and I was answering her and telling her how we do things at my other job. The she asked " how is your attendance?" So I went into detail how we monitor class attendance. She had to stop me and say, "NO- how's YOUR attendance?" Duh. I'm very punctual and I'd rather take an hour off work than a whole day for appointments and such.

I still got the job and I started this week

I totally forgot my bank password and had to call into get it reset. They made me stay on the phone with them so I picked a password that would work. I could not for the life of me pick a password. She probably thought I was an idiot.

Last week I shave one armpit. My DH was kind enough to point it out before we left for a birthday dinner.

laineyb3 · August 2015

The other day I texted my hubs. Then I held the phone up to my ear while waiting for his response.

So my son's 1st birthday was on Sunday. We had a ton of cupcakes left over so we brought them home. Our dog is pretty naughty and will eat anything that is left out so when I was leaving the house I stuck the boxes of cupcakes and a box of variety bags of chips in the oven. I totally forgot about it and came home and was preheating the oven for dinner. All of a sudden it smelled like the house was burning down so I ran downstairs and remembered. The worst part? I stuck them back in there and did it again today! The same mistake twice!

I was baking tomatoes today and I was checking them in the oven I put an oven mit on one hand and then grabbed the oven rack with my bare hand... sigh

I did this in a terrible way at our first appointment. They had these forms that asked all sorts of "do you feel depressed/suicidal?" questions, a section about alcoholism/drug addiction and then a whole section about partner /spousal abuse. One question was something like "has your partner abused/hurt you in the past year?" and I teased him about hogging the bed or something AND ACTUALLY MARKED YES! Thankfully I caught it and scribbled it out but the nurse seemed a bit frigid with him after taking the forms.

I leave stuff out of the fridge all the time. My DH goes around the house behind me putting stuff back where it's supposed to be.

At my midwife appointment yesterday, she was confirming a few details before she wrote them down and she asked, 'and your birthday if the 12th of December?' And I said yes, yes it is. Then she glanced over at a different sheet and said, 'oh, it says here that it's the 9th of December.' It is definitely the ninth. How did I forget my own birthday??

jmathi0149 · August 2015

I also put the remote in the fridge and carried a box of Cheezits to bed with me. I go to my room and was like why do I still have these??

jilloboe · August 2015

Lol, I just asked my husband if he could recall any specific incidents of baby brain, and he said I was one walking baby brain. In the first trimester of my first pregnancy, I was giving phone interviews for my doctoral paper. At one point, even though questions were written out in front of me, I felt my brain go completely blank, and I couldn't form thoughts or words. It was such a weird sensation! I was recording the interviews for my research purposes, and listening back, I had about a 1-minute pause of me going, "uhhhhhh...sorry, give me a minute...uhhhhh..." At least that particular interview was with a former teacher of mine, and he was very understanding when I told him I was pregnant!

maelic · August 2015

I was watering plants in our greenhouse and... didn't shut the hose off when I was done. I have no recollection of walking away with the hose on, I still have no clue what the hell I was (or wasn't) thinking.

End result: the water was on for two days. TWO DAYS. We have a drain and a well so no reeeeeal harm done but man did I feel like a moron.

This morning driving to work I totally drove to another city where DH works and have no idea why. 20 minutes out of my way!!

Meericson · August 2015

I was thirsty so I stopped by a drive through to get something to drink. I placed my order, paid at the next window, and then just drove away without stopping at the second window to get the beverage. I did circle back to pick it up but geez I was embarrassed!

Stormiewinter · August 2015

This morning I found the Nutella in the fridge.

jholz0603 · August 2015

Last week I offered to applicants second interviews and told them I'd send them the script for the role play (I run an in-home parenting program where role plays are a central teaching tool). Instead of sending them the script, I sent them the second round interview questions. I didn't realize what I had done until the first lady arrived and thanked me for sending her the questions because they were so "heavy". Oops.

I couldn't tell the doctors office my social because I couldn't remember it to save my life. Then I filled out a voter petition with my address from when I was a kid rather than my current. And of course, the dreaded word finding issues. If I can give a word at all, it's typically the wrong one. My husband is a patient man (not).

arcanejinx · August 2015

I have Swiss cheese brain to begin with. With a decade of my life lost to the ether some days I mess up more than others. Like I often forget to shave like one leg or arm pit.

Now that is happening several times a day. I've gotten out of the shower with shampoo not even attempted rinsed out of my hair. I can never remember if I have taken my prenatals or my other medication (and I have a system where I move the bottles but now I can't remember if the positions have changed at all).

I've thought I put the laundry on but walked away with the washer door open and it only half full. Didn't even wonder why I couldn't hear it going.

mariahalvi · August 2015

I went to my office and upon reaching at my seat I realized that I have forgotten my laptop at home

my office is 50 minutes drive away from my home

meg_2006 · August 2015

Sprayed my dusting spray in my face instead of my cloth. I now smell lemony fresh...if only it made me look more polished!

FauquierMomma · August 2015

klantzer21 · August 2015

ACleanLife24 · August 2015

I just was reducing a pot of chicken stock... and it wasn't until the upstairs was filled with smoke and set the alarms off I realised it was charcoal.... now its freezing with all the windows open, candles burning to get rid of the smell and its 9:40 and I want to go to bed

Peachie89 · August 2015

Going to make a delivery for a farmer to the crop duster, a place I go at least twice a week, and completely forget how to get there. I had to pull over at a gas station and look up the directions on my phone.

msd24 · August 2015

I mixed up "too" and "to" at work today, and made a number of other embarrassing typos

falconness · August 2015

Put my pants on inside out this morning and didn't realize until after my morning meeting. Luckily I wear scrubs so, hopefully, no one noticed.

CecilB93 · August 2015

I've just noticed that I'm almost always at a loss for words. Nothing much worse than that yet, but boyfriend can't wait for me to do something completely spacey!!! Lol

smount2011 · August 2015

Lol i love reading these! Just sayin' lol

mshukh · August 2015

I got to the office only to remember that I forgot my laptop (in a bright neon lime green sleeve) on top of the passenger seat where my purse and my phone were. I did not forget my purse or my phone. I've also completely forgotten my laptop at home only to realize once I got to my desk. And the laptop was in the same green sleeve sitting next to the door as I leave.
