I was using a manual washer to take care of a small load. As it was being cranked, I noticed something under the drum and I reached for it. I wrist got stuck between the drum and the frame and my DH had to move it.
When asked why I reached under as the drum was rotating, I honestly don't know why. I'm lucky it only skinned my wrist. It could have actually broken it.
DH and I discovered a delicious dumpling place in our neighborhood recently, so when we made plans to have dinner with another couple we said we'd bring the food and planned to have a dumpling feast. One kind comes in orders of 4, and one kind comes in orders of 8, and they're super cheap, so DH sent me ahead while he finished getting ready and told me to order 20 dumplings per person (which is kind of ridiculous, but oh well). When I got to the restaurant I got confused about how many orders of each type of dumpling would equal 20 dumplings per person and I ended up ordering TWICE as many as I meant to. As in, I ordered 160 dumplings for 4 people. Luckily I realized my mistake in time for them to change my order, but I definitely felt like an giant idiot!
I work for the alternative Ed program- these are the troublemakers who got kicked out of their home district and sent here to learn. There are only 13 students enrolled, all of them boys. We have to keep all the rooms locked, including bathrooms, and only one student is allowed in the restroom at a time (even though there are 6-7 stalls). I just totally tried opening the girls restroom for this poor boy who looked at me funny. Duh!
Also I had just done attendance this morning when in walks a social worker for one of the students. I called to get the kid out of class, just to be told he is absent. Wow O_o
February Siggy Challenge- Post pregnancy indulgences
i get it REALLY bad at work. customers ask my for a glass of water & i start printing off their bill, or vice versa. pregnancy brain really messes with me at work.
I put on my eye makeup the other day but then forgot to finish the rest of my face and got busy then was running late. I got to my meeting and looked in the mirror and was like what in the world is wrong with my face?!?!?
I don't have any specific examples, but I constantly lose my train of thought. Literally in mid sentence I will forget what I was talking about. Yesterday I walked outside with purpose to tell my DH something and I stopped and just stared at him and walked back inside.
i went to take my prenatals last night. i opened the bottle, took the cap off the milk jug, & proceeded to pour milk into my prenatal bottle instead of the cup i had beside it.. needless to say i need to buy new vitamins -.-'
I got my nails done yesterday and on the way out I made a new appointment. The guy asked me for my phone number. I gave him the area code then totally blanked. Then I gave him the next three numbers and blanked again. I actually said to him "I can't remember my phone number!" Then after the longest 20 seconds ever I gave him the last four digits. As I was on the way home I realised I had given him DH's phone number. WTAF, brain??
On Friday, I was supposed to freeze some cells down (I work in a lab). I had an anxiety attack at 1:30am on Saturday because I couldn't remember actually putting them in the freezer, but managed to calm down and go back to sleep around 4am. Fast forward to today (Mon) and sure enough, I put the cells in the fridge instead. Boo four wasted vials.
I work in cosmetics and had a tester module arrive on Friday without its testers, so I put the module in a "safe place". Testers arrived yesterday and I spent two hours trying to figure out where I put the module. I still can't find it.
I needed to put air in my tires last night and wanted my husband to do the squatting and whatnot while I watched the sensors in the car.
He was being onery and acting like he wasn't going to help, so I got aggravated and shouted, "Come put some tires in my air, hooker!" as I walked out the front door into the driveway...yeah...he came out so he could make fun of my poor grasp of the English language lately. He thoroughly enjoys making fun of my pregnancy brain moments.
But hey, he put air in my tires, so I didn't have to do the awkward turtle trying to get back up from each tire. It's still a win.
Right before I went to wash my hair in the sink, I had enjoyed a delicious raspberry toaster struedel, complete with frosting that melted over the side and dripped onto my hand, which of course I licked off. Fast forward five minutes and I have filled my cupped palm with Pantene, as I wait for the water to get warm. It starts to drip out of the edge of my hand, and what did I do? Yup, I lost my mind for a minute and just licked it off. It looked just like the frosting! So. Fn. Gross. Did not taste like the frosting. Cannot get that taste to go away now. So dumb. So dumb.

Bright side is that if you're constipated that should clear things right up! Or out?

I almost put A1 steak sauce on my ice cream last night. Got the bottle, opened it, and thank goodness caught a wiff before I poured. The weird part was as I was getting the chocolate syrup out of the fridge and my husband was laughing at me, I thought, meh...I would have eaten it anyway.
I have so many things to do this week, and I knew this, but I forgot what exactly was when. Like I knew I needed to do something with my step-mom yesterday, but couldn't remember what. So, when she called asking if I was ready to go, I had to have her remind me what it was. It turns out, we were going through baby clothes, so I could decide what I wanted. (Since her surprise youngest is 18 months)
When trying to tell the waitress we were visiting from out of state, I said, "we're from outer space." Straight faced and all. It took me a second to realize lol
Are all mine bathroom related? Bedtime, and I pumped a squirt of handsoap onto my toothbrush. Thanks, brain. It did not taste like "juicy pear" either. False advertising, Method. LOL

Holy cow, I didn't even realize but you're right! LOL! I remember with my first two pregnancies, the fresh citrus face wash we used in the shower made my mouth water every day - like I wanted to drink it. And when I was a kid I drank Mr Bubble bc it smelled so fruity and delicious. The Nell do it still makes my mouth water. What is it with me and soap?! These two things were totally accidental though; no pica here haha

OMG this morning I got ready for church with my husband we stepped out of the car and we're walking into church when I noticed I had my house slippers on. We decided to go in anyway, but for once I was thrilled that we go to a Catholic church and I really don't know anyone. How embarrassing.

Went to my sisters yesterday. Hung up ds and my coats. Left around 5pm. Getting into the car I go " bubby, why did I not make us wear coats, it's cold outside". Get home only to be called by my sister to tell me that I left our coats there. Took me like 5 minutes to realize what I had done.

Apparently they are important. Smh.
