Absurd baby brain stories

[jessila]

I know we all have at least one. It's been a while since we've shared.

I got in my car after work today and it was really sunny so I turned the volume on the radio down to make the sun less bright.

It didn't work.

I just put my empty pudding cup in the sink and threw my spoon away.

And didn't realize my mistake until after I had washed out said empty pudding pack.

I got to the school for yoga ridiculously early and couldn't figure out why I was there so early. Turns out I left super early so I could stop at the pet store on the way. Oooops...guess I'll try again next week.

Our baby car has keyless entry and start but when I'm driving alone, I take the old Civic. I tried to start the car without a key.

I can't remember what story I was going to tell you all. Ohhhh the irony......

I put the peanut butter in the fridge and the jelly in the cabinet. I spent an hour getting everything together for Maddie's dr appt determined to remember everything, forgot her diaper bag by the front door. I washed my hair with body wash because I meant to wash my body first. I'm sure there are more but I'm more than likely forgetting them all.

I constantly use the wrong car keys. (We have a baby car/ alone car like mnp48) There have been several times where I open/lock pressing the opposite set of keys.

Was at the mall on Saturday looking for a light weight jacket for the baby. Kind of like a northface, I asked the guy in Sports Authority if he had a light weight little girl....he gave me a very scared look. My friend was like, she is looking for a light weight jacket for a little girl. He was very confused at first and I think I scared the poor guy.

I call my kids by each others' names All. The. Time.

I call my kids the dog's name....more than I'd like to admit...

[erbear]

I call my kid the name of her cousin I watch. To be fair, Amelia and Emily are a lot alike.

When my friend's dog is over I can't keep the names straight. Too many small things that need attention.

I was trying to open my trunk the other day before I got out of the car and I kept pressing the button in the car but it wasn't opening. It's next to the gas door button, guess which button I was pressing. i actually said out loud W.T.F!

I know how to unfold the stroller, I do! I just can't do it sometimes. I must have looked extra pathetic on Friday, because randomly walking by woman asked me if I needed help. I was too proud to say yes... Fortunately my brain finally remembered that I have to lift the little lever. It's only a 2 step process...

I've called my husband the dog's and cats' names. One of our cats is named batman.

I just looked all over the house for my dog to put him outside only to find that he was already outside and I'm the only one home to let him out.

I grabbed a burp cloth instead of a diaper this morning.

My boss just looked over at me and asked what's on my arms.

Stickers. I have stickers up and down both arms. Because I have a 4 year old and I forgot to take them off before heading in to work.

I left the car keys in the car with the engine running when I went into Target the other day. Put it in park, unloaded both kids, and just walked away from it. I am SO glad I didn't have to call DH and explain to him why our van had been stolen.

[periwinkledaydreams]

Oh my gosh I have so many, every single day, its not okay. Yesterday I could not find the pitcher of boiled water for formula that we keep on the kitchen counter. After looking absolutely everywhere I finally found it in the back of the bottom cabinet where we keep pots and pans... how or when I manuevered it all the way down and back there without realizing it, or spilling it, is beyond me.

I forgot the baby's name earlier today. Called him the dog's name. Called him DS1's name. Then went blank.

This morning I hiked up my dress in the car and started trying to pump only to realize my pump has no membrane. I cried. I had no time to go back home so I ran out to target on a break and they were out of membranes so I had to buy them with valves I don't need. Despite all that my pump for some awful reason is barely working. I hate being a working mom today

Today H was getting stuff out of the top rack of the dishwasher and I was also in the kitchen getting my plate ready for supper. I grabbed my plate down, and instantly out of habit seeing the dishwasher open I kicked the door up into my hands and tried to close it. While my H had the top rack out with his hands in it grabbing things. I had to apologize like 15 times through laughter because I really tried to close that door and it slammed pretty hard into the top rack therefore jarring my husband pretty good.

My car has keyless entry. Pull the handle and it opens, press a button on the handle and it locks. Today I spent an inordinate amount of time pushing the button and freaking out that the car wouldn't unlock.

[musicfrk2002]

I was driving my mom somewhere the other day, and my step-dad tried to lean through the half open window to give her a kiss. I tried to push the button to lower the window...hit the up button instead. No one was hurt, thankfully

Well fml I just did a load of laundry and I guess I threw clothes in the hamper that had a diaper attached to it somehow. Pretty sure it was a clean diaper it was probably just in the pile of clothes I had going in to wash ugh.

So anyway our laundry just finished and it has all those little clear balls in it. So do I just run it again and hope they disappear? Uggghhhh

Been there!

Scoop out as much as you can, then throw the clothes in the dryer.

lol glad to know I'm not alone thanks so much! I ended up googling it and yes that's what Google said. Haven't checked it yet this morning but I'm sure it worked. I hope lol

I did that, except with a disposable breast pad. What a mess... But yeah, I just ran everything through the dryer, most of it caught in the lint trap.
