Sometimes I amaze myself...

...with how much of a moron I can be.

I was cleaning out the fridge (thought I'd better had since it was probably Queen Elizabeth's coronation when it was last done) and could I buggery get one of the shelves back in. It must have taken me 20 times of trying before I realised that it was the wrong way round by which time the air was blue and my face was red. What was even worse was that I only take one shelf out at a time so its not like the others weren't in there for comparison!

This is only the most recent example in a long line which includes such highlights as washing my face with my glasses still on, getting in the bath wearing socks, looking for my glasses only to discover them on my face... the list goes on.

Please reassure me it's not just me?

Earlier this week I spent ages looking for the dog's harness to take him out for a walk. Couldn't find it but DH sometimes takes it off him in the car so called DH (who was out in his car) to check if it was there. Then prised teenager off his X box (a feat in itself) to help me look. Teenager looked at me, then looked at dog, pointed at dog and said 'Is that the one you're looking for?'. Yes- I had already put it on the dog and forgotten. Hadn't noticed even when said dog was following me round the house whilst I looked in increasingly unlikely places for it.

I've tried to push the stairs back once(Ok twice) while cleaning so that I could clean under them. It didn't work either time.
