Whats the silliest thing you've done since being pg?

I always have 2 bowls of cereal in the morning and instead of making my second bowl in the same bowl I'd just used I made my second serving in a dirty bowl that I'd had cereal in the day before and had forgotten to clean- a rareity with all the nesting I've been doing- and didn't realise until I'd finished. That was followed with panicking about the milk and knocking over all the other cereal. My DH thought it was the funniest/cutest thing he's ever seen. I didn't.

I'm also constantly forgetting words, why I've gone into certain aisles in the supermarket and my mobile number. I thought mumnesia/placenta brain was a made up thing. I was wrong.

This week I cooked some baked beans on the stove and left the gas burner on for THREE hours after I had finished. DH came home and was in the kitchen and noticed something felt a bit warm I even left the house for an hour in that time. I am so lucky the house didn't burn down.

Cooking dinner the other night, I was boiling pasta. The sauce was ready so I just picked up the pot of pasta and drained it....it wasn't even cooked because I didn't check it first!

Have been putting things that should be in the pantry in the fridge and vice versa.

Just realised that all the silly things I have done revolve around being in the kitchen. I think I should just avoid it for the rest of the pregnancy!

Hahahaa this thread is as funny as the "end of the world" thread. I'm doing all sorts of spacey things at the moment. Usually it's just vagueness and brain-freeze like forgetting the names of people I know well. A couple of times it's warranted behaviour that could be better placed in the other thread (ie. sitting on the study floor crying my eyes out because I CAN NOT find something I had yesterday). Fortunately most of the time, I can just laugh at myself....

I work with kids with autism and we've been working on social games and coping with losing. To practice this we were playing musical chairs. It was my job to supervise, manage emotional meltdowns and remove one chair at a time (not difficult, you'd THINK). Every time the music started I just stood there smiling and thinking how cute they were all dancing around the chairs... then the music stopped and they all clamored to get a chair... and EVERYONE got one (because I forgot to take a chair away!!!). This happened about six times, and by the end of it, a colleague got sick of reminding me, gave me my own chair to sit on and took over my job. Needless to say, there were no meltdowns when we were playing it my way!

SIGH. I was once an intelligent professional woman. Now I'm wondering whether I should really be allowed to have a driver's license or be let near a stove!
