    silly things you've done while pregnant

    Anyone been doing some really dippy things while pregnant? I really hope its not just me!!!

    I went to the fruit and veg store the other day. I started by getting some apples, popping them in a plastic bag, then into my basket, then some pears, etc.

    But something must have then short circuited in my brain since I then grabbed a new plastic bag and just decided to keep filling it up with an assortment of different things such as onions, ginger, green beans and mandarins - all in the same bag. Obviously I had no idea I was doing it. At one stage the guy behind the counter gave me a weird look and said - do you need some help? I thought he sounded a bit patronising so I gave him an odd look back and said "no! Just getting some fruit and veg, thanks!". And Im thinking to myself - how ridiculous, why would I need help? Its not hard choosing fruit and veggies!!

    So then I walk over to the checkout the guy started weighing things and then he got to my "assorted" bag and said "ok so what do we have here?". I must have been in a total daze!! it was so embarrassing!!! All I could do was laugh - especially since he'd obviously watched me doing it - and tried to help me until I snapped back at him!!

    After it was all done, he said very nicely to me "by the way, we do have free home delivery so if things start to get a bit tough for you, then just give me a call".

    hahaha thats classic.

    A couple weeks ago I went and brought some tracky pants from Kmart. They were only $12.. bargin! anyhoo.. got to the check out and in one of them pregnancy dazes and hand the lady my stuff. She says "thats $19". I lost it at her, telling her that the pants were only $12 and I pulled them out of the bag to show her. Yep $12 on the tag. She looks at me strangly and says "Yeah the cokes are $3.50 each"... *hides* I had completley forgotten I had brought them *face palm*... embarrasing. Needless to say I apologised and ran to the exit lol

    I've backed into our garage door in our new car. Plus I've scraped the front bumper bar in a car park. My perception and driving skills completely go when pregnant!

    I used to put things in the most obscure places. I remember once I put my grater in the laundry cupboard. Couldn't find it for weeks

    Yeah, I put the box of weetbix in the laundry. Had a massive meltdown because I couldn't find them.

    Haha! This is hilarious!

    A few months ago I sent DH to work with a container of bolognaise sauce for lunch! I forgot to put the pasta in! He called me at lunch time and said 'um, this is interesting...'

    Haha. Oops

    When I was pregnant with DS I had major Green Cordial cravings for a while, went to make myself a glass once, thought it looked a bit funny, was just about to take a sip when it clicked, I'd made my glass of cordial with milk instead of water...

    these are hilarious. The one I always remember is I was talking to DH and pointing to the spare blocks of land across the street showing him something and said 'see over there where those houses aren't' pmsl

    Love all these! I dont feel so bad!

    Ive had a few 'moments' but this one is the funniest (that i can remember)

    I went to fill my car with petrol one night (I like to do it myself) and DH was standing next to me talking while I was filling it up well I normally let the bowser click over a few times cos of air and bubbles, but this time i just kept clicking and clicking until I looked down and was standing in a puddle of petrol. It was all in my shoe, petrol had soaked up my leg (was wearing long pants) and needless to say - I got the sh*ts with DH and it was his fault for talking to me ...

    Woops ...

    Hee-Hee I love these!!

    Mine aren't funny but I have a tendency to put things on the stove or in the microwave and walk away and forget about them. I have had to chuck a few burnt-to-a-crisp saucepans out before DH has gotten home to not have to tell him He has found food that I had heated up earlier in the day still sitting in the microwave though.

    I've noticed that my vocabulary and grammar has completely taken a turn for the worse too!

    My memory is usually horrible, but bout 30 minutes ago I walked out to my DH and just stood in front of him.. For bout 10 minutes before going out there, I was repeating what I was going to ask him.. DH then goes 'Yes hunny?' to which I stood there for another 3-4 minutes and repeated 'Yes hunny??' and I just looked at him and walked away.. And I still don't remember what I was going to ask him!!

    The funniest thing from my last pregnancy was when DH didn't bring me the ice for me to crunch on and I just bawled my eyes out, but was just walking in with a small bucket of shredded ice and looking a bit sheepish

    I find myself having conversations with inanimate objects - I got in a huge fight with the stove the other night but IT STARTED IT!!! It totally wouldn't turn on just to spite me, it had absolutely nothing to do with the fact I hadn't flicked the kill switch so power was getting to it...

    What gets really embarrassing is when I do it in public, like when I started having a casual chat to the trolley at Coles last week. There was this little girl in the baking aisle just staring at the crazy lady talking to her groceries I don't know why I felt the need to ask DH's razor blades why they have to be so expensive, but it was very rude of them not to reply!

    I've also had a few Lady Macbeth moments when cleaning, talking to a particular spot on the carpet or bench and asking it why it wont go away, or ordering it to get 'out damn spot.'

    These are so funny!!
    I kept putting things in places they shouldn't be but my best was putting a bottle of juice back in the fridge on it's side........without the lid on!!! I shut the door and walked away, DH came home and found juice all through the fridge and on the floor.
