There used to be the most hilaaarious thread about this but I can't find it on the search. So lets start another! What are some daft, pregnant-brain things you've said (while UTD)?
I had one just then.
DP: How much money do you have?
Me: *counting* 50, 100, 150, 170, 180, 180. And five. So a hundred and eighty five dollars and five dollars.
DP: So, a hundred and ninety?
Me: uh, yeah.
I had an argument with a girl in Maccas drive through...drove up to the window to pay for my order, I'd counted out the money while waiting in line, handed it through the window to her and she said I needed another $1. I told her no I gave you a $2 coin (counting it out in my head 2, 4, 6...)..anyway went on for a few more seconds and I scrabbled around trying to find another $1, fuming because I knew I *had* given her the right amount...turns out I had been counting one of the $1 coins as a $2 coin :redface:
I drove away as fast as I could, feeling so so stupid!! Especially as I'd nearly had a fight with her over a freaking one dollar coin!
As for stupid things I've done..just a couple of weeks ago parked in the supermarket car park to duck into video ezy. Came back to the car and got ready to drive off, then I realised that when I'd gotten out of the car I'd left it sitting in drive and hadn't put the hand brake on! Thanked my lucky stars the car hadn't rolled anywhere!!
I remember that thread too and was thinking fo starting one - great minds.
I had made myself a toasted cheese sandwich and cleaned up the kitchen a few days go by and I really felt like another one so I went to the fridge to get this block of cheese. I start getting p!ssy because I cannot find it and have a go at DH for eating all the cheese and not telling me.
We shared a few choice words and I sulked over it for a few days :lol:
Anyway about a week later during a conversation DH told me he had found the block of cheese in the little cupboard under the bench along with the cans of soup I had put away.
ooopppppsssss we had a great giggle about it afterwards as I swore black and blue that I didn't put it there. I still have no recollection of putting the cheese there.
:lol:
Hehe I ordered about 30 too many wedding invites, at a couple of dollars each.... 70 guests, 70 invites, right? Wrong...
Picked up my u/s films, put them on top of the car while I strapped ds in, then drove for 20 minutes before I realised I had left them on the roof (obviously, they were gone by that time, but some nice person handed them back in to the u/s place for me).
Does forgetting your DH's name count? I had a mental blank for about half an hour and it drove me insane. We had only been together for about 7 years at the time so not long :redface:.
I was so embarassed. DH thought it was hysterical once I actually told him what the problem was.
I've said some super daft things but I can't remember any of them right now - damn preggy brain! But the daft thing I have done lately is buy the wrong washing powder - not just once but twice.
Last week I stood in the laundry section of the supermarket for ages picking out the right powder and somehow I managed to get top loader and not front loader. So I went back this week to get the right powder and very, VERY carefully selected my laundry powder only to discover last night that I'd done it again - I'd bought bloody top loader powder!! :wall:
Will I go for the trifecta this week??? :rofl:
LOL my favourite from the old thread (and I'm paraphrasing here) was a member who was trying to point something out to her DP on an empty block. So she said "Look, over THERE, where those houses aren't" :rofl:
One of the worst ones I did (last pg) was
DP: Did you know Judas dobbed in Jesus because he didn't get any wine at the last supper?
Me: Reeaally? That's so rude! I would've been p!ssed off too
I have a bad habit of trying to fit thru narrow areas and then I suck in my stomach to try and fit through (like that'd make any difference at 34 wks pregnant!)
:redface:
This is just what I needed, I don't know if it is just the hormone making everything so funny, but I have tears streaming down my face! :lol:
awesome thread! now i wish I could find the other!
Things I've done so far this time round...
I said to DD the other week that she was sooo lucky to have daddy make her a peanut butter sandwich; at that DH ****ed himself with laughter, and said, really I could have sworn this was vegemite! (Although it may have been peanut butter on the sandwich and I said vegemite! I cant remember the order!!)
Out for breakfast one morning, the waitress asked me for my order, I asked for perched eggs and toast; she asked again, i said perched eggs... I swore I said poached, but DH swore I said poached, probably did considering the smile on the waitress!
Upon our next visit to the same cafe, I ordered a hot chocolate for DD, then asked for it to be on skim, waitress asked me what I wanted again I said a hot chocolate on skim, she said so 2 hot chocolates then, I said no, just the 1.... she looked confused; i continued on for another minute or so, before DH stepped in finishing the order for me trying to hide his laughter!
Another great one DH asked whether I had washed his work clothes as i said i would, I said yep, they're out in the fridge drying!
hmmm theres more, but that will do for now!

I don't think this is the one you were looking for but I started this one a while back.
thought I'd post the link rather than re-type my daft moments :lol:
Chocaholic :rofl:
I had a very daft moment indeed this evening :(
I flooded the house :redface:
we have an old washing machine (for DH work clothes) and I have to fill it using the hose and tap, and then turn it off when it reaches the top. But of course I forgot. I left it on for about 2 hours. I was only in another room but didn't hear it as the tv was on. It flooded the laundry room, all down the hall into our bedroom (an inch of water all the way around!), and and has wet a bit of the carpet in 2 other bedrooms. Luckily they are the only 2 with carpet. I'm so stupid!! I can't believe how much water escaped! I had to sweep the water out of the bedroom and hall and into the plug hole on the bathroom floor, then put 8 towels down to mop up the rest. boooo :wall:
PMSL! :rofl: Oh dear, that's worse than what I did the other day; DD LOVES washing her hands so I left her alone in the bathroom while I went and did something else. When I came back to check on her she'd put the tap on full blast and somehow found the plug and put it in the sink. There was water all over tha bathroom!
I also completely lost my jumper the other day. I went out shopping trying on maternity clothes and I obviously put it down in a change room and left without it. Guuuh. Luckily it wasn't a maternity jumper or I'd be p!ssed.
I just thought of another one: I was talking to a friend at work about my pregnancy and she asked if I still have all of my daughters baby stuff.
Me: Well it's funny you mention it because I actually saw a psychic at the beginning of the year who told me I was having a boy in February and we weren't even trying to get pregnant! Wait, what was the question? I totally forgot where I was going with this.
Friend: . . . Do you still have your daughters baby stuff?
Me: OH that's right! I do have her clothes but she's a girl and I'm having a boy this time, THAT'S where I was going with this!
:lol:
I wish I could blame this on baby brain but I wasn't pregnant at the time! I was sleep deprived though. DD had been BFing aaall day and I finally got her to bed. I was sitting in the living room (back when I was living with my parents) and was trying to coax the cat to sit on my lap. So what did I do? Yep, I whipped out the boob . . . in front of my mum, and stepdad. The MOST embarrassing moment OF MY LIFE.
Neenee... :ROFL: :ROFL:
*wipes away tears of laughter*
thankyou :hug:
ETA - I think you can still blame that on baby brain ;)
ROFL that is so funny but so embarrassing! i'm not looking forward to these things... i am a scatter brain as it is hehe:
Haha I'm sitting here laughing out loud! (*Note to self: don't try to coax animals to sit on my lap once I'm seriously sleep deprived).
This isn't nearly so funny, but a couple of weeks ago I was driving out of the garage, but put the car in reverse, and came within a whisker of running over DH's bike!
Aaaah I have a few...
Most recent is the other day when I made myself a glass of cordial.... With Milk. Instead of Water. Still didn't click until I was about to take a sip and oddly could smell milk...
I think we all must have these moments!
A few weeks ago I lost my wallet...after going from shop to shop after work because I was buying food for the next night when my parents were coming for dinner I got all confused because I couldn't decide which meat to buy etc....I then gave up on the meat and decided to go to the fruit & vege shop where I realised I didn't have my wallet...I thought I must have lost it in my car or left it at work but turns out that I left my wallet on the counter of a butcher shop! I couldn't believe it and stupid me had over $500 in there, along with everything else!
Luckily when I rang the next day as last resort they had it in the safe and it was untouched...how bad is that, I didn't even buy anything there!!
we alternate between cloth and diosposable nappies
well me in daze after being sick sleep deprived went to put DD's DISPOSABLE nappy into teh washing machine, it was almost in there when my DS said um mum thats one for the bin and i said no its not its her good nappy ill wash it. heeh he laughed and said um its a pooh bear one they go in the bin lol we argued for about 2 min i was adament it was cloth lol and in the end he said fine whatever and let me put it in then went and took it out and threw it out and im like where did you find that, taylah taken her nappy off again? lol
poor thing he just shook his head and laughed at me.
then i was making dinner and i kept telling hubby he had to use the real butter not the otehr stuff, but what i thought was real butter was actually a block of cheese lol
I think my best moment has been driving into town to go to the bank to get a bank cheque (so I needed my ATM card, ID etc) then getting to the bank and realising I didn't have my purse which of course contained all my cards and money.....doh! I'd also parked in a multistory car park and had no money to get the car out and no cards to get any money. Luckily DH works in town and I could convince him to get the cheque and bail me out of the car park.
My other dumb ass moment was when I had a tradesperson booked to come and give me a quote for some air conditioning. I had kind of decided I wasn't going to use this guy and was thinking of cancelling it but didn't, and just totally forgot he was coming. So anyway on the morning in question I'd decided to......ahem.....tidy up some downstairs hair which had got a bit unruly on account of the fact that I hadn't seen it for a few weeks :redface: I was using one of those creams that you put on the hair and leave for 5-10 minutes then wipe off. Anyway I got half naked and all lathered up when the phone rang.....it's X from airconditioning company here, I've been caught up in traffic and am a bit late but will be there in about 2 minutes......cripes! I think I broke the world record for 'hair removal cream wiping' :D
lol.. all so funny the things we do!
i almost set our kitchen (newly renovated i might add) on fire, dh was away for the weekend and i had decided to make myself a jacket potato so i put it in the microwave for a minute - wrong i - pushed the 30min button, walked away and totally forgot about it... the potato and microwave caught on fire! the house filled with toxic smoke before i ever noticed!! luckily i realised before the whole thing went up! who new a potato could do so much damage?!? the cupboards were almost ruined from the somke and we had to get a new microwave.. needless to say dh said i needed constant supervision from then on! lol!
Well I have actually done this a few times (more then I would like to admit). We were down town on saturday at the food court getting lunch. I went and ordered mine gave the person a $20 note and then taken my food and sat down and ate it. It wasn't until DH asked for the change so he could get his lunch that I realised i hadn't stayed to get any. Lucky when I went back the man serving me remembered me and had it ready waiting.
I have done this ssooo many times, even asking to get extra money out on eftpos and then forgetting to take the money - just walking off without it.
A few weeks ago I went food shopping first thing in the morning with DD. When we got home, a girlfriend popped in for a cuppa and while sitting on the bar stools I kicked my shoes off. A little while later I noticed DD was clopping about in my shoes.. two different ones.. I looked down... yep, I had worn two totally different shoes to the shops, one wedge and one heel ha ha.. both very comfy and my excuse is well I cant see my feet. I thought maybe the chick in the chemist noticed coz she asked me if I had been suffering insomnia and I thought gee I wonder how she knows LOL :lol:
pmsl Netty!!!!!!!!!!
:rofl:
pmsl, that was me!:
:redface: glad im not the only one!!
i was on facebook looking up a older friend. looked thru their high school friends and found a lady who i used to know from my dads church.. i then saw she was friends with a guy i knew (his aunt).. instantly i was writing out a message congratulating her on becoming a grandma... it wasn't tell later i realized that it was the guy i knew's mum who had become a grandma and not the lady i had congratulated on FaceBook.... :rolleyes: she must think im crazy! ah well... :redface:
i cant remember all my daft moments.. i have far too many to care to remember..
me: oh i cant wait to get my licence..
dh: how come?
me: coz ill be a proper grown up then >.< LOL
another of my favourite things to do at the moment.. is to loose train of thought..
or totally forget what im doing.. so i just kind of stop and stand there staring into space.. people at my work are like "you ok" im like "what was i doing" they tell me and i go on my merry way :)
Classic :lol::
I have one to add now...I missed my acupuncture appt this morning... looked at the time on the card & thought 'Friday afternoon, that's weird, I could have sworn I made it for Friday morning?'....
Looked at it again just now....I had been looking at Tuesday's appt time, which I cancelled...it was this morning after all.. now I have to wait until Monday :doh:
and it said TUESDAY in big letters too....
I came home one day, put down my bag, then five mins later went looking for it. Then another ten mins later i was yelling at Dp cause i thought he'd stolen my bag and hidden it to mess with me. Then another three mins later i was in tears cause i couldn't remember what colour my bag was, or what it looked like.... How i managed to forget what a fire engine red bag looks like is beyond me.
A week or two ago i tried washing the clothes in the sink and putting the plates into the washing machine (thank god i didn't turn the thing on!)
I've done a few daft things - but can't remember what they are. It must be catching though 'cause DH put the vegimite in the fridge & the marg in the cupboard this morning (and didn't think to blame me - 'cause I would have had to think if it was me, even though I hadn't been in the kitchen.)
I call the cats DS's name and vice versa. Don't think thats pregnancy though 'cause its been happening for nearly three years. When he was 3 months I forgot his name at the inital mother's group meet. "I'm Ange & this is my 3 m.o. ......"
However, I had to fill in a tax dec at work and I can remember my TFN off the top of my head.
Well this wasn't really me, but a woman I was talking to yesterday while doing a tour of the maernity ward. I was talking to another very pg woman, I was holding DS and DD was standing next to me. This woman said to me "Oh what beautiful kids, so is this your first you are having?" :lol:
Rofl! ^
