Today I almost put the peanut butter in the fridge. No it's not the kind that belongs in there.

I woke up, got dressed, and had my hand on the doorknob before I realized it was Saturday and I didn't have to go to work. So mad I forfeited extra sleep!

This is my worst fear.

Every Friday we are allowed to wear jeans at work.

Well 2 weeks ago my brain thought it was Friday. Only to realize it's only Thursday. Shit. So I was stuck in jeans while everyone else was dressed appropriately. How embarrassing...

Thank God my boss is cool and I explained what a giant idiot I am.

This morning I was searching the refrigerator for my almond milk. I couldn't find it anywhere and instantly became enraged at MH thinking he threw it out (he is constantly throwing everything out). As I was calling him to flip out about touching my milk, I opened the pantry and found it sitting on the shelf. I apparently put it in there yesterday when I was done using it instead of back in the refrigerator ?

This is the perfect thread to be repeated. Pregnancy brain is a terrible thing. This just is bringing awareness to the cause lol

Last night, one of the accounts I take care of all the time came in to pick up an order. First, I told him I'd be right with him and then forgot for no less than 10 minutes. I see this guy at least twice a week and even passed a large order, read the account name, and thought, no not it. He said I brought him the wrong order and I denied it. Then he looked at his invoices and pointed out that it wasn't him. His restaurant was emblazoned on his shirt the whole time. I felt like an idiot. There's even more idiocy to that story, but it's too difficult to write here.

I was on the phone with one of my coworkers when one of the boys' social workers came to the cottage to visit him. I asked my coworker to hold on for a minute while I let the SW in, and then proceeded to have a 15 minute conversation with the SW. 10 minutes in, I noticed the phone in my hand was on and couldn't figure out why so I hung it up. It took me half an hour to realize I had hung up on my coworker, and I called her back to apologize. She was understanding and thought it was hilarious.

I went to the bathroom, then grabbed some lunch, then walked into a meeting, all while my headset was wrapped around my neck. I didn't notice until my co-worker cracked a joke about my new fashion accessory

[divinemsbee]

I keep walking through rooms and not remembering why I'm there. Like, I was meaning to take chicken down to defrost for dinner. And I would walk into the kitchen, open the freezer, and then go 'why am I here?' and close it up and leave. This happened more times than was ever necessary.

I was also convinced that Wednesday was Tuesday this week.

I tried making refried beans. Would have been useful to turn the stove on

[ady45]

I was making breaded fish and used powdered sugar instead of my flour. They are in the same kind of container and looked the same. Poor DH wondered why they were sweet.

Today at the birthday party with DS, I glanced at the place settings and handed him what I believed was his drink. Turns out I didn't read the entire name on the cup. Only the last three letters matched his name. Oops.

Just another example of pregnancy brain.

I completely forgot dinner plans. Even thought earlier in the day that I needed to make plans with these specific friends. Oops!

[sunshinelady15]

I was in the train/subway (in NY) and couldn't remember where I was going or how to get there. True story! I wasted a good 30 minutes of my life.

I just made a beautiful multigrain w/ fresh blueberry coffee cake, and almost RUINED it by crabbing the cumin instead of the cinnamon. The only thing that saved me was the cat jumping up on the countertop, and noticed it as I was shooing him off and disinfecting after him.
Phew, that was close.

This reminds me of the time I used coriander instead if cumin. I wasn't even pregnant. Haha

Where the hell is Pregnancy Brian when you need him?!

[kcebeling]

svenskalamb13 Can we have a Pregnancy Brian thread next? In my imagination, he was really hot.

I came into the lab today to take care of some work. Had to run some samples to a machine downstairs and thought I unlocked the door. Apparently I didn't bc I came back and both doors are locked. There's no one else here and my coworker didn't answer. Now I'm waiting for our security who apparently are lost. Sigh.

[RandomName]

I haven't had one yet this pregnancy but with DD I had a pretty good one. I had just gotten home from a week away and I had all my luggage. I was maybe 20 weeks? Well I get to my door, hit my unlock button but the door wouldn't unlock! I stood there for a few minutes starting to panic that I was locked out and there was nothing I could do. A few more minutes pass. Finally I realized I was using my car key unlock button trying to get in my apartment. Epic fail.

[2dumbdogs]

put wet laundry in dryer. never pushed start. sigh.

[gingerygirl]

I made brownies and used the tablespoon instead of the teaspoon for the salt. I didn't realize it until I bit into a warm brownie. Yuck.

[smore]

I asked someone if they had seen where I put down a stack of papers. The papers were in my hand as I asked.

I do that when I'm not pregnant lol

I put ice cream in the pantry today - thankfully I was the piggy who wanted a second bowl. Also, MH called on my cell as he was leaving to tell me there was a package on the front steps. I said thanks, got excited because it'd be my Gap Maternity order, hung up, and IMMEDIATELY forgot why he called me.

[heavenwhip]

I made a pot of coffee today..... Forgot to put new grounds in the filter. I was wondering why it looked so weak. Whoops.
