While starting the dishwasher last night it occurred to me that I forgot to put detergent in the machine the last time I ran it. Oops, too late now.
LOL DH forgot to turn the water on to the dishwasher the other night... must have been a sympathy mommy brain moment. I will just call it daddy brain.... (he is giving me the stink eye right now for sharing but I couldn't help it...) between the two of us a search for keys remotes...ect warrants an automatic look in the refrigerator
couldn't get my shower water hot before my OB appt (and i *had* to shower!), after many attempts and several minutes, went to find husband totell him the water heater was borked - interrupted him from his "important work." annoyed, he asks if i was turning it the right way. "YES dipshit; i tried both ways." a few seconds later: "umm, this water is hot" ... i was turning it the wrong way. we have lived in this house for 4 years.
went to get my driver's license renewed. the lady had to take my photo about 13 times (apparently it has to match up a certain percentage with the last photo, and i look totally different - short permed hair (instead of long straight), no glasses, about 50 pounds lighter - well she kept telling me to turn my head to the left bc i had a left angle in the old photo - she finally said "don't move!" and came OUT and took her had and turned my head; i had been turning to the right, even when she said "other way."
went to buy groceries. had $5 coupon for clorox wipes. lady kept telling me i didn't buy any clorox wipes. i kept telling her to check again, i *know* i did, bc i was using my coupon. finally figured out i had grabbed lysol wipes (that i have never bought in my life). went and grabbed clorox wipes instead. came back, and shes just staring at me forever. i'm like "well? what are we waiting for?" and she says "Ma'am, you have to pay for this stuff. you haven't paid." i seriously felt so dumb.
washed my hands with curl-cream instead of soap
started to use polish remover instead of toner on my face (bottles are similar and next to each other - i now have them in separate cabinets)
tired of having to excuse my pregnancy brain! it's embarrassing!

Makes me happy seeing other mom's have issues. Misery love company I guess. Yesterday I was using baby wipes to try to get mashed potatoes off my 2 year old. I grabbed one, walked over to him and used it, went to grab another and couldn't find them. Found them hiding and moved them over to me by ds. Used one and went back over to where the wipes were and realized I'd moved them. Went through like 4 wipes and each time I forgot where they were
yesterday I forgot how to use an atm... I seriously stared at the screen that asked for your pin trying to remember what I was suppose to do...thank god there was not a line.
I brushed using my husbands brush I put the pressure cooker on d stove n freaked out , screamed as if a murderer was around when the whistle blew.... Wore bathroom slippers when i went out for US with a dress.... And i cry everyday watching tv n animal rescues and emotional moments... Phew... This is just one days list
My mom and I were making salsa last night and it was my job to blanch the tomatoes. Well, I was getting ice for the cold water bath and kept dumping it in the pot of boiling water. My mom just kept laughing at me and commented on what a struggle it must be for me to survive... =D>
March 2016 Moms: January Siggy Challenge "Pregnancy Problems"
Today I was making Mac and cheese for kids and ramen noodles for myself. I put the ramen flavor packet in their Mac and cheese instead of the cheese sauce. So mad at myself.
I went to a cafe for lunch and tried to open (the already unlocked) door with my house key. Then I had an open bottle of water and laid it down in my purse to go home. Realized when I got home that my purse was soaking and had no recollection of putting my water in there... Without the lid!
Also, I fell asleep in my parked car when I was going to run into the grocery store at the end of the day. My husband called and it rang through on Bluetooth waking me up! Had no idea I dozed off...
Hit snooze this am thinking I could leave at the later time. Completely forgetting My daughter was home and had to go to my parents before in went to work...at least I didn't forget her at home
For the life of me I can't remember my credit cards PIN number. And I keep forgetting to call and change it, it only occurs to me when I go to use it. Grah.

I swear this will never go away! I just filled out all of my child's first day of school paperwork. In every spot I filled in the students name with mine. THEN, I put down an emergency contact, and I spelled my OWN MOTHER ' S NAME WRONG!!! I'm done with thinking for today.

I lost yesterday. As in I remember what I did Friday and seriously believed that was yesterday. My phone says it's Sunday and I was convinced that either it was wrong or I entered a time warp and lost a full day. Turns out, today IS Sunday, I just lost yesterday. I remember what I did yesterday, now. But it took like 7 hours for me to figure out what happened to it.
I've experienced bad absent mindedness my whole life because I have ADD. I've developed little tricks to help me stay focused on the task at hand and I can usually manage to function mostly normally. Now that I'm pregnant this symptom is compounded at least double and I feel like I'm going to have a nervous break down because I literally can't accomplish anything. Can't focus on a single task. Ugh I just want to get some stuff clean!
Apparently I seem to think I was out of college in 2001 instead of High School!! Took me a while to realize that I was barely 19 when 9/11 took place and I'm clearly not a genius. It's supposed to be a day that's clearly embedded in my brain and somehow I goofed it.

I know how you feel I've started using a timer and working on just one thing at a time and it's really helped me stay more organized. I don't usually have a problem but I'm working again after 5 years of staying home with my youngest who just started kindergarten and cant seem to find the time to do anything. I swear this pregnancy is sucking all of my brain cells out.

I think I'm going to have to try that timer idea I get so lost sometimes when I'm trying to clean. cause I will be cleaning the living room and bring dishes to the kitchen then think "oh I'm hungry" then make a snack. and make a mess in the kitchen then go to the living room and nothing is cleaned! and I end up making more of a mess...
The doctor needed a urine sample and I was in luck because I had to pee really bad. I sat on the toilet opened the cup and stared at the cup with a blank mind until I realized I was done peeing. That was fun explaining to the doctor... Her response was "you just had a blonde moment." Blonde preggo over here!
I was in Petsmart checking to see when my puppy's next appointment was and for the life of me I could not remember my last name. I kept giving them my mom's last name. And then started crying because I really couldn't think of what my last name is
Went to cook dinner & couldn't find my pans anywhere... I had already put them on the stove 10 seconds earlier and totally spaced it. I opened every cabinet searching for them

I just read this aloud to DH and we both had a good laugh. You poor thing but that's really funny. Hope you remembered it in the end!
Called mom and talked to her, when it came time to hang up, I stared at the phone, hoping she would hang up because I suddenly forgot how to end a call on my smart phone. Made a joke about it: smart phone : dumb blonde...
Today at school I put my students into groups. One kid asked me if he could use my chair because it was easier than moving his combined desk/chair thing. Like fifteen minutes later they were finishing up and I asked the student what he had done with my chair. He looks at me funny for a second then says "I'm sitting on it." It took a minute to register what he said and then I felt so dumb....
On Friday I went throw half the work day before I realizedy pants were on backward.
Yesterday I packed my lunch and had yogurt and muffin in one container then placed my salad on top of that container and THEN put the lid on top of the second container. Didn't realize it until I got to work. Surprisingly nothing spilled!
anyway I was in the shower this morning trying to adjust the water. I kept turning the cold water knob the wrong way and couldn't figure out why my water was getting colder instead of warmer lol

Got hungry last night so I went to the kitchen and made myself some baliadas (tortilla with retried beans and sour cream) I return to the couch to finish watching fashion police and try changing the channel. A good 30 seconds later I realized I was trying to change the channel......with my cell phone. Went to look for the remote......I had put it in the fridge

I was writing a check for my son's upcoming field trips and apparently I forgot how to add my husband looked at the check and field trip forms and realized I wrote it for $10 less than it should have apparently $32+$18.50=$40.50 in my brain I kept arguing I was right because 3+1=4 but I totally forgot to carry the one my 8 year old just looked at me like I lost my mind.

ETA I would love this post a hundred times if I could.
I spent a good five minutes looking for a roll of toilet paper that I had JUST put, for no reason, in a cabinet.
Did something similar today. Walked into the room next door at school to get tests for my kids to take. Apparently put the tests in my desk drawer when I got back to my room even though the students were about to begin. When they had put away their books I looked for said tests and had no idea where they were. I went back to the other room convinced I had forgotten to actually pick them up. One kid said I might have Alzheimer's as I've been so forgetful recently!
