It's been a bit since we've had this thread and because my brain is turning to mush even more lately I'll begin with just saying I absolutely can no longer keep track of what day of the week it is. The only reason I ever know is because of the Bump and the daily threads that get started on here.
I put chapstick on my eyebrows today. Yep, eyebrows. Opened up the Burts bee's and spread that puppy on not one but both brows. I have no idea why! Losing it here people...
Called my husband on the way to the store to see if we needed milk. He said no. While in the store I passed by the dairy section and texted to see if we needed milk. He said no. I called on my way home from the store to see where he was cause I forgot to buy milk while at the store. He said we didn't need milk. I got home, unpacked the groceries and when he got home a little later I told him he might have to go get milk. He then showed me the full gallon in the fridge and told me that we had talked about it needing milk 4 times in the past 2 hours. Later that night I wanted a little cereal for a snack then mentioned that I couldn't have cereal cause I didn't buy milk..... poor DH. He's living the groundhogs day movie.
I pulled chicken out this morning to defrost for an hour before throwing it in the crockpot. To keep it safe from kitties, i put it in the microwave. Four hours later, I saw the chicken sitting in the microwave. Now we are waiting for chinese delivery to show up.
Two mornings in a row now, my toaster has majorly confused me by popping up with absolutely no waffles - because apparently you have to put them in BEFORE pushing down the toaster???
I was going to sauté some veggies, so I put a little butter in a pan, turned on the stovetop and then promptly got distracted and went upstairs. 10 minutes later I smell something burning and the entire main level of my house is covered in smoke! My pan was black and just billowing smoke. Had to open all the doors and windows on a freezing day to vent the place out and had to bring my kids outside to play because the air wasn't breathable in the house. So terrifying! I've never done anything like it before!
So yesterday at work - 40 minutes before I needed to leave - someone emails me to tell me that something messed up a report I ran on 11/23. So I had to pull those reports again on 12/1 to see how much of a variance it is. Well to pull this report, it takes 30 + minutes to run. So I pulled the report and then did the analysis, but I pulled the wrong column in my table, and that got several managers in an upheaval. Well - we figured out that I pulled the wrong column, and that we were really ok But, I couldn't for the life of me figure out why i pulled the wrong column, or that it was even the wrong column. All this while I'm trying to get a promotion....so let's see if this comes up in my review.
Also - I keep forgetting things to do at night....like in the morning I'm like oh I gotta do this and that, but by the time I get home from work, it's totally gone. So now I've decided to text DH to tell him that this is just so I remember to do said stuff. lol
Yesterday, I kept smelling oranges. I could not figure out where it was coming from. It took over 2 hours for me to remember that I had put orange scented lotion on my belly. Then, I was trying to write bad debt, but kept writing the b and d backwards.
Realized this morning that I totally forgot I had started a load of laundry yesterday & left it sitting in the washer all day/night. DH has been so great about doing all the laundry the last couple months on the weekends when I'm at work, but he didn't get a chance to this past weekend so I said I'd do it. On a positive note for me, I don't think he'll let me do laundry again going forward.
I bought a christmas wreath for our front door last week when I went out grocery shopping and to do errands . Put it in the trunk. Unloaded groceries and intended to come back to get the wreath. Forgot. Smelled pine in my car all week, couldn't figure out why. Went grocery shopping again this weekend. Went to put groceries in the back and OH YEAH THERE'S THAT WREATH.
Went to pick up groceries. Get all the groceries and realize I have forgotten wallet at home. Tell 4 y.o. DD we must go home get wallet and come back and get groceries. She says, "It's ok, Momma. You're pregnant and your head doesn't work right."

I finished doing the dishes and I get really really dry hands this time of year, I meant to go and put some hand lotion on to get some relief and what did I do? Randomly started washing my hands, dried them.. proceeded out of the bathroom thinking 'wow my hands are really dry..' then I remembered I was going into the bathroom to moisturize them not wash them.
So last night I was driving when the sub went down. Partway through the drive I started to freak out because I couldn't see very well. I was really having trouble seeing for about 15 minutes before I thought to check if my headlights were on...
I only go into the office maybe once a quarter to check my accounts. I'm on extended maternity leave. I have a 15 mo. And don't plan to go back until 2018.
So yesterday talking to my boss I COMPLETELY forgot what u was talking about mid sentense. Fan.Tastic. He probably thinks that staying at home and turned my mind to mush lol.
Then today Im omw home from my glucose test. There was a car that seemed to be having trouble on the side of the road a few miles from my house (in the country) I stopped by to see if be needed any help. His car was overheated and he just needed some water. I knew my husband was turning right around and leaving once I got home so I told him that DH would be there in a few with water. Anyway... I get home focused on the fact I need to find a jug of water to fill. Stop the car. Grab my jacket open the door start to get out... notice I didn't say PARK the car?!?!?!? Stopped it fine but oh my goodness??!?! I decided to not tell DH that part lol.
@mrsyimster if it makes you feel better, ground meat is called "minced" in the U.K. and ireland, so really you're just being cultured.
went to drop my dog off to the woman who minds our dogs when we go on vacation. I've been there LOADS of times. Even used google maps to get there. Still go lost half a block from her house not being sure where it was. Had to call her and have her come out and meet me
