To ask if you ever do something

[ivfbabymomma1]

.... that's so stupid without thinking & then your like why the f**k did I just do that?

I just made a cup of juice for my DS, and without putting the lid on chucked it in the bottom of the pram?! Why!!! What was I thinking?

Dh opened my can of coke last week, instead of passing it to me he threw it in the sofa 😂

I went to work in shoes of different colours, I had the same style in two different colours.
I tend to drive barefoot, stopped to get petrol in the morning on my way to work, dropped my shoes onto the concrete to put on to get the fuel, realised I'd left my bag at home and drove off, leaving the shoes there. They'd been put to one side when I returned by a very puzzled cashier.
Having two pairs of glasses I have on more than one occasion worn a pair and had the other on my head as I remove them to read.
Woke suddenly, looked at the clock, I'd missed the alarm, threw clothes on, ran out to the car and set off. The roads were very quiet I thought, looked at the clock and realised it was about 3:30am, I'd looked at the clock through a glass of water and misread the 3 for an 8, it was winter so I was used to going out in the dark!
As a student arranged to catch the 6am bus to go to Ilkley to climb with friends, when it never came I returned to college, later I realised that the clocks had gone back and I was an hour early.
I once left a friend's small child at the check out, her other child was unwell so I'd offered to take the younger one in my trolley and forget about her.

Actually, I'm surprised I've made it to 72!

This morning instead of pouring boiling water in to my mug, I poured it in to the container containing ALL the tea bags

I took a glug of wine earlier and hadn't swallowed but had a sudden urge to sneeze. I can keep this in my mouth I told myself.

Nope...I couldn't. The wine was red and I was sitting on the bed. My sheets are white.

I have on several occasions gotten into the passenger seat of my car after leaving the supermarket, by myself. I just have to busy myself in the glove compartment and pretend I’m looking for something before going round to get in the drivers seat.

Last week I got into the passenger seat of someone else’s car. The driver looked very surprised.

Boiled a chicken carcass for 2 hours to make stock. Dp held the sieve over the sink and I merrily poured the stock through it. Without putting the big jug underneath to catch the actual stock... all down the plughole

Think these posts show the perils of continual multitasking and/or being knackered! I didn't do things like this pre dc!

My new boss handed me a slice of his birthday cake on a plate with a fork. I said thanks and immediately threw it in the bin plate and all instead of the rubbish I had in my hand. I was too shy/new to explain. He must have thought I was so odd.

Spent ages making home made chicken soup from left over Sunday roast, then tipped the whole lot down the sink through a sieve, was left with some bones and veg!

I also jumped back into my car after visiting my parents, went to start it up and the key wouldn’t turn. I tried a few times couldn’t work out what was wrong with my car. It wasn’t my car! Wasn’t even the same make of car. Nothing like my car. It was the neighbours car! I did go and knock on their door to let them know they had left it unlocked. DH couldn’t understand how I hadn’t noticed the dash and everything about the car was different!!

I resemble several of these anecdotes

I made a coffee, set it on the car while I put stuff in and promptly drove off forgetting about it. Of course, it was the one day there were workers in my street so my shame was witnessed!

Have boiled dry my stock or drained it straight down the sink. I honestly don't know why I bother.

Burnt my fingertips off multiple times when microwave sterilizing baby bottles.

Regularly do the 'using my phone to try and find my phone'.

I still cringe at rushing back into the bank very upset that I couldn't find my very expensive prescription sunglasses, and had I left them there? The ladies were very kind, and pointed them out on top of my head . God that was ten years ago now and I'm still embarrassed!

The other day I was at my in-laws. I was busy talking to my mother in law whilst at the same time I was trying to open her front door using my house key to leave. She was looking at me like "what the hell is she doing". Was so so awkward, I left immediately!

I picked up my marriage certificate the other day to take upstairs and put away in a safe place. Clearly wasn't thinking because I ended up putting it away in the FRIDGE. I then came back to grab the orange juice I had forgotten to find a piece of paper in the fridge!

Also when I was 8 years old I went to school wearing kitchen slippers that were my dads size. Had to come back home to change 😭

PREGNANCY BRAIN 🥴

I frequently hunt the house for my keys... that are in the front or back door 🙈😂 in fact i did the very same thing tonight before bed haha

Chucked the peelings of potatoes and carrots into the pressure cooker and the carefully diced parts into the food bin 🙈

I was at a theme park when my children were 1 and 3 and was so nervous about losing one of them. At one point I couldn't find the 1 year old and starting panicking. My husband was laughing and I couldn't figure out why he wasn't helping me look for her. He thought I was joking because I was holding her on my hip!

I've done this only the child I was looking for was in a sling on my back!

I regularly make a coffee with the coffee machine and forget to put the pod in, leaving myself with a lovely cup of hot water.

This week I’ve managed to drive away with my purse on the roof of my car and I regularly forget to spin the car seat so when I look in the rear view mirror as I’m reserving out my drive the baby is facing the window😩

I also once spent ages looking round the supermarket car park for my car, I was about to go in and report it stolen when I remembered I had walked.

Once got a phone cap from my child's school asking if I had a certain coloured buggy. I did. And was it missing? Erm...
I had to check the boot of my car where it appears that yes it was missing.
I'd put the toddler in the car after school drop off and just driven away leaving the buggy sat in the pouring rain! Luckily one of the other mums recognised it as mine and took it to the school office! Imagine if she hadn't. I'd have been so confused when I went to get it out of the boot later!

@FairNotFair

Put my purse in the fridge and took a block of butter to the shops.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dh did one a few months ago. After working really hard from home during lockdown he had to go into the office for a meeting. He set off early so he could nip to Costa and get a bacon sandwich and a coffee. When he arrived at work he had no coffee and no sandwich as he had popped both on the roof of the car whilst he opened his door and then just forgot about them!
After I'd finished laughing at his text I got in the car and drove to the local Costa and went in to get him replacements. I ended up chatting to the member of staff serving me and she told me that they'd seen it happen and ran out to flag him down but he'd already gone!
They then refused to take any payment for the coffee and sandwich which I thought was a lovely gesture.

Me and dh were at one of those garage Costa machines and I asked him if he wanted sugar then proceeded to carefully tear open the little sugar packets...then pour the sugar into the bin. Dh looking at me like .

I have new burns on my fingers from another this week. I was browning mince for a bolognese and managed to get a string of meat stuck on the outside of the pan when dropping it in. Despite the fact the onions and mince were sizzling away inside the pan I didn't think it would be that hot so tried to use my fingers to pick off the bit of stray meat. Ended up having to ask DH to finish off what I was doing so I could keep my hand under the running tap instead.
