What silly things have you done?
The other day I put some microwave popcorn in the microwave, forgot what I'd put in there, and then started freaking out when the microwave started making popping sounds.  ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">

Last week I was seeing a recruitment consultant about a contract that ran until Dec 2008. For some reason I was thinking that meant it was a 15-16mth contract... I'm afraid that the consultant must have realised that I didn't know what year it was.  Doh!!!!!------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

hehe something a couple of weeks springs to mind
we feed our cat in our laundry and I was giving her one of the whiskas single sachets and before I knew it I had emptied it into the washing machine -- lucky it was empty but there was still some left after I put a rinse through the machine -- not sure what my excuse is though no kids and unfortunately not preggars

I locked us out of the house so many times!
I turned up for appointments a week early or completely forgot about them and got caught out in my jammies.
One night DH caught me pouring a brand new bottle of milk down the sink and I still have absolutely no idea why! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

I keep leaving my car in drive when I park it, then having a panic when it won't start when I get back in. I've done it about 20 times now and STILL every time it happens I have a momentary panic that I've left the lights on or something and the battery's run flat.
Apart from that I just keep forgetting what I'm doing...walking to reception then forgetting why I'm there. I do that when I'm not pregnant too but it's far more frequent now! Quite nice to have an excuse for such things Everyone just blames it on me being pregnant  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

LMAO! Some of these are just classics!
I have had quite a few but my mummy brain cant remember them. One of the things I do remember (or DH reminded me ) Was going out one day and putting the keys in the fridge in the garage. DH watched in bewilderment as I went staight to the fridge and got them out without even realising what I was doing as soon as I got home. Still cant work out whatr I was thinking -------------

A lot of those sound familiar
Glasses is a big one for me. I'd be wandering around the house hunting high and low for them. DH would just sit there and laugh at me until I realised I was already wearing them. -------------

My latest was this week, when I put the washing and the powder in the washing machine and didn't turn it on. Then wondered why the clothes werent wet after I went back to the machine as I thought it should of finished by now. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
