I Lost my Brain!
I have just lost my brain due to pregnancy. I constantly do these things that I rarely do when I'm at my normal state. For example, I'll ask people repetitive questions and after a odd look and mid answer, I realize I asked this question before and I quickly finish the answer for them. I know it may look like I don't care but I do. Also, I was to go to E's friends birthday party and I know to take Route 611 to get there but I end up taking Route 309 and I realize my mistake after 20 minutes of driving and I frantically had to think how I should get to my destination. I ended up 1/2 hour late to the party. And this big one, I go grocery shopping with my girls. I get a cart full of food and I'm about to go to check out and I look for my money and I forgot I took out my wallet from my purse and didn't put it back. Ugh! So I was debating whether to just leave the cart full knowing that I will not be returning or put everything back. I put everything back and while I was doing that E is crying," Why... Why are you putting back my juice.... fruit snacks... apples... WHY!!" And I'm trying to say as quietly as possible, I forgot money.
There are so much more but those are my latest oops.
I'm not very sharp these days. I hope I'll get my brain back because the excuse "I'm pregnant" is plausable but if I continue with this after having a baby, I'll just be plain flaky and stupid.

At least you have an excuse! I don't know what mine is! Don't fret though, I think the memory loss thing comes after turning 30. I forgot so many things on my trip, it's ridiculous. Aren't you glad to know that you're not alone. :-P We should get together sometime in the new year when you're free!

ha ha! i've almost done the grocery shopping thing... except i remember that i don't have my wallet halfway to the store... and i'm not preggers. btw, you're last post was really encouraging. i've honestly been able to see a change in you in the past few months. praise God!
uh, yes, pregnancy brain in full effect over here. my mind just wanders off into la-la-land every five minutes.
Haha, can't blame my "oopsies" on the whole preggers thing (not for a LONG while at least). So, I do the next best thing: I tell people I suffer from BFS (Brain Fart Syndrome).
Unfortunately, doctors have yet to find a cure... probably because they keep forgetting where they put their notes!
Haha... and sigh.
FYI, for all you preggie ladies... scientists have found that the pregnant woman's brain SHRINKS 8-10%!!! I hope that encourages you in some way (I don't know how exactly, but eh...)
Yeah, not quite sure what my excuse is... [sigh]
Ha, that reminds me of the time when I got lost on the way home from work... I was driving my usual route and suddenly, I had no idea how I ended up circling around some other neighborhood!
Aw, too bad they wouldn't let you just take the groceries and have you pay for it later. Poor E, wondering why things were going back. :-( Sigh, I don't think I've fully recovered from preggo brain yet.
i tried to write a comment a while back, but i couldn't! anyways, i can totally relate. the exact thing happened to me last week, except i realized my folly AFTER i ran everything through the self-check line. luckily, the store is only 2 minutes from our house, so i got the clerk to save my transaction for me. i could go on and on with my stories...
i do hope that our brain will return to its normal size after this shrinkage, as annibelle said. :(
oh btw, Wii is the new nintendo system that just came out. you can actually move the control thingee itself without having to use buttons. it's pretty cool. c felt his arms ache the next day after playing the boxing game. it's a good thing that you haven't heard about it, esp with three grown men living with you. :)
