A few weeks (days, months... I'm not quite sure anymore) ago, I wrote a post titled, "Of all the things I've lost, I miss my sleep the most". And while that is very true, I also miss my brain.
I had a pretty good one, encapsulated up there in my skull. I could always tell you our bank account balance and be within $5. You could ask for pretty much anything in our house and I could find it for you right away. I knew how much our grocery store charged for a certain item, and that I had a coupon for that item that would make it free.
I even knew what day it was. I know, shocking!
Sadly, I'm a bit of a mess these days. And why not share my craziness? Here are a few of my favourite "I'm loosing my mind" moments:
-The other day I put Mattias down somewhere in the house to do something for Elise. Unfortunately, I couldn't remember where I'd put him. Now our house is just over 1600 sq. feet, so there aren't really a lot of options. I found him lying happily on Elise's bed... the third room I looked in.
-I forgot Elise's meter in our garage. I was loading the kids in the car to take Elise to school when I put her meter down on a box beside the car, made a mental note to not forget it, then promptly forgot it. Halfway to school, I remembered I had forgotten it, turned around to go home, then remembered I had a spare meter in her school bag. That's a lot of forgetting.
-While making Elise's eggs this morning, I cracked the egg into the sink instead of the bowl, wasting a perfectly good egg.
-While holding a carrot stick and a pen, I tried to write with the carrot and eat the pen.
-As I was getting into bed the other night, I was holding my giant cup o' water in one hand, and went to turn on the baby monitor with the other. I then leaned in to take a sip of water through the baby monitor antenna. Strangely enough, I didn't get anything.
-I found the TV remote in the pantry.
-I found the phone in the fridge.
-I've been telling people that I'm a year older than I really am. And not on purpose to get into a bar, or to buy alcohol. I just forget how old I am.
-And lastly, I started this post over a month ago, but forgot what I originally wanted to say, so it turned into a post about all the weird things I do because half of my brain has died from lack of sleep and the other half is too busy trying to remember carb factors to be of any use.
How about you? Any funny D-getful (as in forgetful) stories to share? Please... I can't be the only one suffering this way!
